"Is Roblox good for kids? In a word, yes. Because of the huge variety of available games, there are experiences that will appeal to children of all ages and interests. Roblox isn't one game—it's a vast collection of "experiences." I asked the kids at our morning bus stop (kindergarteners, first- and second-graders) what games I should check out for this article, and they gave me a long list. One thing I found striking is that these younger kids tended to prefer role-playing games."
