the youtubers that kids watch only make those videos because kids like it, same with tiktok and trends (the tiktok part is definitely not going to age well). no example for gambling tho 😭
Flashy visuals too. games like blade ball, sols rng and blox fruits are filled with flashy visuals. Meanwhile better games have less of a flashbang to your eyes, giving you less dopamine
because roblox is a kids platform and if they arnt instantly decent at the game they downvote it that and one youtuber says its bad and they think its the same the hivemind is real
2 main things you can learn after watching this video: 1. Every game you play makes you gamble with your time. The difference is quality. 2. Playing good game on Roblox = meeting with it's wiki, you ain't going far without that
Back in 2017, I used to think Bee Swarm Simulator was one of the worst games in the popular section, now with the amount of thrash boring games there is it's probably one of the most decent and I pretty much only play this game lol
Really sad. Like you can have the most garbage gambling game ever but since you make money roblox will recommend it like if it was good. CAN EVERYTHING STOP TURNING INTO A LINK?
It’s sad, us small time devs have to work 10x as hard just for exposure, myself I have 4-5 games out, non get recommended, I constantly have to advertise myself on third party sites, then maybe if I can afford it rarely I’ll buy the adds on Roblox but I haven’t been able to yet because of biedenomics, but these machines that pump out the simple games that are the easy cash grabs flood the market
@@itsjakeithink Sorry about you man,know we all had a good game idea but it will never be knowed.This is like Clash Mini, was discontinued because there was not enough support.Sadly in a lot of time no one will be smart and make a good game that also makes money to get recommended since only one of both features are taken to a game.
The sad part of theses underrated games are they dont get recommended so the game just dies and the devs dont have enough money to be able to make updates so they just abandoned it I remeber playing pilgrammed with my homie after looking for an rpg beacuse I was bored until I found a hidden gem pilgrammed made me so hooked me and my homie would grind and try see who would get to the end game and get better builds and I remember when I finnaly made it to the end game with my homie me and my homie fought old fart together so many times to get that drop it just gave that memories you'll never forget I yap)
Ragdoll universe is a great example of this. It gets 200 players max and is made by Lsplash, it has a similar level of quality to doors, but gets less players than gambling simulators.
The fact doors gives me lag on any room 💀 Ok ok that was out the theme,many game developers such as the mentioned lsplash and hdc haves the forgotten and the popular/favorite son. Tbz and ragdoll universe had more chances that how they are now :/.
Fighting game with ragdoll physics. Banger music. Amazing graphics. It's fun even if you have a skill issue like me. Same as Jujutsu Shenanigans, but with destruction physics instead of ragdoll physics.
Because if someone cries Wolf to Lsplash, what he did was force you to never chat again or else itd be replaced with shit that was legit said by a 3 year old toddler, which is hella toxic. I experienced this first hand when someone got salty in response to my salt. lmao its shit. Also, damn bruh, Imagine putting Blox fruits as a bad game in the thumbnail, that's not gonna get Bloxfruit fans flooding your comments. lol
It’s honestly incredibly sad that the front page is filled with games that lack gameplay at all. Sols RNG, or what I like to call, Soulless RNG, has ZERO gameplay. The fact that people destroy their electricity bill just for some stupid name tag. Anime games are pretty cool, but I’m not a big fan of anime games. They usually take LOTS of grinding. And well, grinding just isn’t fun. Some games are just exploring some big map which also isn’t even interesting. Games these days aren’t as good as before.
I agree mostly except I’ve been having so much fun with type soul recently and the fact that anime just makes it easier to identify with the game and make me atleast stick around longer than I usually would.
Creatures of Sonaria is a prime example of the “popular games”. It used to be a good game, with a lot less predatory tactics. But as the game got larger, it just started going downhill at a rapid pace. It was (and still is, to an extent) one of my favorite games on Roblox, and it saddens me how it has deteriorated to this grinding slop. However, the most recent event had been a lot better than previous ones (not as grindy), and I’ll say it is one of the less gambling-prone popular games. They aren’t focusing on the gachas as much, which is the gambling mechanic, and have been adding fewer new creatures every week. Although it won’t be a good as it used to be, maybe it’ll get a little better. AND THIS IS WHY I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO CODE. I so want to make my own game with no predatory tactics and that just focuses on fun. But it’s hard to find a good, up-to-date coding tutorial series! Does anyone know any? Edit: LOL this is the largest amount of likes and comments I have ever gotten. Thanks! Edit: Since It feels like some people want to know what my idea is, it’s basically a game similar to CoS; Creature survival. BUT, it would have extensive lore you can uncover and unique missions to complete in order to unlock more creatures and items in general. Also, BOSSES and AI! Ngl, I feel like CoS would be a lot better if they re-added the AI creatures and made actually interesting bosses that are available year-round. I would also attempt a more hardcore seasons system, one that actually changes gameplay.
I played that game several years ago, my sisters were into cool and cute animal games like adopt me (utter garbage) but creatures of sonaria is fun, and pretty well made. I haven’t played it in a few years, but they kept adding more gatchas so you just have to keep playing and gambling. I got some of the best creatures in the game but they just kept adding more op ones and event ones, so it had no skill factor
COS was genuinely so baller but the community became so toxic and shitty, the devs mainly Ery got so money hungry. That beef with the other creature game (i think it was primordial lands or smth) was the first sign of cos falling
@@Rip-Tyro yeah, it was fun but once I had the best creatures (took less than a month of playing) it got kinda stale since there wasn’t a big goal other than getting every creature (no way I’m doing that) and other than adding a few broken event or gamepass creatures they didn’t do a ton of updates
Former & Current (and probably going to retire soon) (edit: not anymore, retired around May 5th) Sol’s RNG community and game translator here I translate stuffs for them but I do not play Sol’s RNG. Or maybe I should say, I also used to have this Sol’s RNG addiction phase for a little. That’s probably why I put an end to playing that game. I was first invited to the Sol’s RNG discord server back in this year January, when the game was small but fast growing, to translate the community rules in Korean into English. I have sort of already knew about this game because it appeared at my “Friends playing” list on the roblox home and I had some connections with several developers and community managers, which is also the reason how I could work as a translator there. I still clearly remember my first impression in discovering this game, and I have instantly realized that something was terribly wrong. I still remember how startled and disappointed I was to discover the fact that the whole and sole purpose of this game is to just stand in whatever spot around the map, press the roll button, and just wait until a rare aura appears which doesn’t even give any benefits except its appearance. I have already knew that playing this game meant spending my precious time for some data scraps that doesn’t exist physically and only appears cool on the monitor. So I thought I would never play that game. Yet I did. And got addicted for a while. You would be so shocked how easily you could get addicted in that game, even besides the fact that I already had some addiction issues before. I was so addicted around that time in seeing the aura appear effect and collecting the auras that the moment before I stopped playing it I remember having around 8k rolls. The actual time I spent looking at the monitor would be shorter because of the use of macro and the built-in auto roll later in the update, but still I knew that I was addicted. I was craving for more and more dopamine rush, and it started to sort of affect my in-real-life routines. After realizing the severity of my state apart from my other in-real-life issues I was going through, I decided to put the end in all this by quitting Sol’s RNG and my job as a translator there along with other discord communities, so I could focus more on my real life. Basically went out to touch grass. It didn’t take long for me to return back to the Sol’s RNG discord server to do translation jobs again, because I have somewhat resolved my in-real-life issues. I have returned back to Sol’s RNG discord server, but NOT the game, around March to translate some game setting descriptions and the quest dialogues for the NPC called Lime. I never even bothered to open Sol’s RNG ever after when I quitted, even when I was and am working on the translation before and now. I can’t really say my addiction issues are gone, but I am still working on to fix it. Addiction IS a disease, especially when you also have some flaws or defects to your brain, which everyone slightly has it in some way. It would be sometimes extremely hard to fix it, but trust me. It is treatable. If you want to know more about addiction I recommend reading a book called “The Addiction Solution” by David Kipper. It may be a little outdated but the basic frame is same as what I said above. Addiction IS a disease. P.S. I started playing when auto roll was not a thing, and I started using macro way later on. edit: I do not really blame the devs for Sol's RNG. I know some devs there from working with other projects previously and I know they were not ready to have Sol's RNG get this popular. The devs there are the same young adults like me and they are not in some big game company. That being said, Sol's RNG was not "planned" or "built" to purposely attract millions of players with highly addictive gameplay when it was first developed. I assume they were simply unaware of what would come afterwards when they first created Sol's RNG, as they might've simply trying to create a fun luck-based simulator game. I do not really know the details. Anyways, I believe generally for any popular games it's completely reasonable for the devs to continue developing the game since realistically you cannot really give up a popular project simply because of it's controversies. Some people are actually enjoying Sol's RNG without really finding any problems with their gameplay (which I personally don't believe) and I believe the devs didn't have a lot of choice but to keep bringing new contents to make the players to keep playing the game since they simply wanted them to have fun and wouldn't want them to be disappointed. Every devs have at least some pressures coming from their player base. Now the reason why Sol's RNG is so controversial would be their highly addictive and almost 0 gameplay feature, which is the biggest homework left for the devs of Sol's RNG to solve. I believe the devs should acknowledge more on how the gameplay for their game is like and try to prevent the players being too addicted, such as adding a daily roll limit or something. They should really come up with some creative ways to make their games less addictive. It's ironic how games are meant to be addictive but also carries this burden to be less addictive. For those who are lazy or hopefully just simply too busy to read this, here I have the entire text summarized with ChatGPT: I worked as a translator for Sol's RNG, a Roblox game, and became briefly addicted despite my initial skepticism about its simplistic and highly addictive nature. The game involves players standing in a spot, pressing a roll button, and waiting for rare auras with no real benefits. I quit due to the negative impact on my life but returned to translate without playing. Addiction is a disease, and it's crucial to recognize and address it. I don't blame the developers, as they likely didn't anticipate the game's popularity and its addictive potential. They should consider adding features to reduce addiction, like daily roll limits. Games are meant to be engaging, but they also need to manage their addictive aspects responsibly. Now please, stop commenting with your complaints of you can't read them all. I am open with feedbacks but, please know that I didn't write this comment to be pinned nor to receive these excessive amount of comments about complaining or arguing each other. It's a pain to receive all these notifications. I have my own life.
It must've been hard to leave your discord jobs for a while and the community also. I feel you, i'm also struggling with the addiction of playing something (Roblox or whatever game), i have that feeling that i must play something to gain myself satisfaction. when i do (play some crap game for hours), i don't get the satisfaction i want, and i start to realize how i've wasted my time playing all this crap instead of doing better activities like i used to do (workout, house work). Man... i got to the point where i'm lazy to even get out of bed. The first thing i do in the morning is to check my messages (not even messages from real ppl, just game based stuff like Clash of Clans, i got so addicted to that game that i got into Legend League basically top 2000 in my country in like 2 weeks. So i wake up, and i have two thoughts in my mind... sleep more or play this crappy game for farming loot even tho i have enough for the future upgrades, and ofc i end up playing that game for like 2-3 hours when i could've slept and get to work right after.
When im thinking, i used to work so hard before that i could do my workout routine at any hour 11pm -12 even if i was broken of fatigue after a long day of work (Plumbing and stuff where sometimes you have to dig a drainage ditch of a few good meters for hours for a whole day continuously). Now im just lazying around thinking if all that hard work was real, seeing the state of me now
As a pilgrammed player. You should’ve mentioned pilgrammed more. Also they have a pretty good tutorial and have a starter quest to guide you a bit in the beginning.
@@NoHeyMoment we need to have a high enough youtubers recomending cool roblox game so much as godot or unity gamedev youtubers do btw i just realized your video qualities were so out of the blue! especially for 260 subs! felt like im watching 100k subs documentary and analytics yotuubers
Nice! I like how you made your opening concise and relatable; I’ve definitely been there endlessly scrolling for a decent game! Nowadays I don’t even bother to play, only checking out phantom forces from time to time.
im so happy you decided to add pilgrammed. its such an amazing game, but due to the low player count, one of the only 3 developers decided to quit, which basically killed the game. its so sad to see it go but its such a spectacular game that i recommend EVERYONE to play with how much content it has. pilgrammed was the last game i rlly played on roblox and ive since quit. also ive grown up since ive started playing roblox and i dont rlly have time for videogames anymore. roblox back in the day used to be so much better than what it is now. it’s unfortunate, but thats life. God bless you all❤
The worst part about slop games like these is that a new bigger better OP pet / character is added. Which means you gamble for longer because it's rarer than the last.
The funny part is that these "blank rng" aren't even about gambling since gambling has cons while in these games you only gain auras and don't lose anything.
You lose your time unless you leave it AFK, to which you’re not losing anything but its incentivizing developers to keep making these RNG games for more money which leads to the degradation of games
It's why i found the popularity of Deepwoken so refreshing you don't see complicated and harsh games on front page and you most likely never will again, Deepwoken surprised me so much that there were actually people who've never tried such a game for the first time and soon after enjoying the game.
@@pedrovitorlima2756 Wait,my comment dissapeared? I sayed thats normal,a lot of games are ultra laggy for my phone,or just not available on it. *_This is normal =)._*
Tower defenders used to actually be quite popular for a tower defense game however with a lack of updates and the devs not listening to the community the game was dropped by many to go play other TD games
Speaking if other TD games, they appeared in greater amounts which made it harder for it to get players. Even if the update and community issues were fixed it would still be dead but by about 400-600 players instead of below 100
also some updates is what made the game less fun for me, because certain towers are not as effective as I would like. Aquamancer got nerfed and the placement hitbox got way too large…
Also I remember giving them tons of feedback on how they should improve the king ai. Because I remember the king being stuck on small spiders despite his targeting being on strongest, and if i tried to move him, he would still attack the same weak as hell spiders instead of actually moving. Then I die because he decided to not target those 500k hp minibosses at the front.. I came back to the game a few months ago and the king still has the same problem… Another problem I have with tower defenders is how targeting works, there is many cases where towers can attack the same enemy and completely overkill it, so that is why I always have to change targeting just in case.
I remember playing Starscape in around 2019. I have vivid memories of just flying around, mining ores and going lightspeed. That's what I love about the game. There wasn't dopamine rushes like getting a legendary clan, but more of just playing the game and enjoying the seconds.
Fr... The graphics is not even that good... Yet... I still enjoy simply floating through space, looking at a planet with 2 rings for minutes... Heck, I even had fun reading stories about how others had fun... To randomly find a marker while exploring around... And reading about the time when players flood a space station with grenades, when the playerbase fought the biggest war, or when a player randomly found a secret unmapped dead star at the edge of the galaxy while mining in wild space... The fun experience in this game just comes so naturally...
@@LactoseTolerant50 I mean, of course... My reply is still in the topics of the simple things that happens in the game, and about enjoying the seconds... Of course there would be more complex things that went unmentioned...
I remember being a part of a clan in Starscape and we would go on mining trips. The rush finding good anaomlies like AA and AN or AL was insane (hopefully those are the right terms been a hot minute).
Keth should be given an award for making one of the best optimised game on roblox (some guy played starscape with 100 players in Gatinsir. Keth started blowing ships up with his spectator-X and he only experienced some lag)
I NEVER thought anyone would even mention Starscape on TH-cam if I were to be fully honest. It’s one of my favourite games, but I think the reason it isn’t popular is exactly like you said. It takes so much time to actually progress at all (but that’s not a bad thing). However, six-year-olds don’t have the attention span to actually stay on a game for longer than 20 minutes if it doesn’t have bright colours and stimulating visual effects/loot boxes.
@@sovietonion4487Roblox is a game engine , like unreal, Roblox isn’t a kids game, there’s a lot of kids games sure but Roblox has a TON of really good games that are not targeted at the insane masses,
@@sovietonion4487actually it is 13+ and explicitly stated in the terms that it is not suitable for young children though there is a side with 9+ games. Most games however, have a teen rating and some even have a young adult tag. Im only saying this because of your obviously broad generalization.
there's also another super underrated game i've been playing a lot. it's called dingus. it's a game of where you have to be hidden from the hunters by acting as a npc (there's other npcs too) (hider explanation) and do quests that are random. now there is a quest that are highlighted in red. those quests mean the npcs DONT do those quests. meaning you have to be as stealthy as possible. (hunter explanation) now, for the hunters. you have to find the REAL players. if you shoot 2 npcs, then you can't play (once, blinded). the npcs don't run. they don't do the red quests nor jaywalk. the npcs also don't go through areas that hunters can't go through. there is NO competition, NO currency (NOT EVEN ROBUX!), and just a game. lots of people don't know about it. you don't buy anything. you just PLAY. is so recommend dingus. there is also running from the internet (abbreviation, rfti) which is also super underrated. (i explained about it in a different comment)
I am a game developer who always creates unique games that do not fall into the categories you mentioned earlier. I prioritize my creativity over popularity and I am willing to pay developers to help me achieve my vision. I believe that the Roblox community's strict rules against gambling and the focus on specialization are the reasons why good games often go unnoticed. Players are more interested in popular categories rather than unique and creative games. However games like My Hero Academia Battlegrounds might not good and got many dislikes because of the priority to take down anime adventures. Also please please it's not my fault if the game was not that good or either too lazy. Two reasons is that I have school and second I still don't know how to script like a pro.
@@adhamsherif6230 im not rlly a game dev, the only thing im able to do is understand scripts of code and edit them to make them a bit better or change their functionality a little, i cant make code myself bc im unable to do anything if i dont have an understanding of how it works and also bc i know pretty much nothing about coding, i think its called gamers instinct or gut instinct but i just know what to do when it comes to editing lines of codes and understanding them (i probably said that multiple times but im really bad with wording bc im indecisive when it comes to selecting what to type/say)
I still haven't named my game because I couldn't find a good name for my RPG game. I'm 14 years old and still coding the game, so some of the scripts I still don't understand. Do you think I’m like IvanG? When I find a bad name, my house will be raided by a swarm of the community (I don't know if I just called the community, but I mean people who played my game), just like it did when I was 10 years old when I named the game Traitorus in Roblox (I deleted that game a few months ago).
Bro Fantastic Frontier is so good it has been up there since release, the thing is the devs stopped updating it a while ago, but they did quadruple the amount of gameplay just with the updates alone. That game is so good i wish they would just do a standalone game on steam or something, they would have huge sucess.
grass cutting incremental still being one of the best incrementals i have ever played: but for real, if you like seeing numbers go up, play it. i have like 500 hours in the game and i am about halfway done
I feel like there are also some commonly overlooked reason why people flock to the popular games. Generally speaking, unpopular games either don't update often enough, they lack replayability/post game content, aren't beginner friendly/steep learning curve, they graphically look bad/outdated/too minimalistic, or (this is the biggest pet peeve of mine) they force you to use their character/avatar appearance. Like do these devs not realize that perhaps alot of people spend quite a bit on their avatars and would appreciate being able to keep their look ingame?
Some games do give you a customizer for the game's own avatar though, if you can't live with that, it's a skill issue In my opinion, it wouldn't be very fun if i was playing BRM5 and i saw an e-girl sitting next to an abstract amalgamation of colors and shapes.
Yeah dude.. 2 years of waiting of them saying ,,badlands soon guys!! Just wait!!!" And yet to this day it's STILL not released, it just became unworthy of the title underrated at this point
there's also another super underrated game i've been playing a lot. it's called running from the internet (abbreviation, rfti), it's a game of where you have to hit the enemy with different weapons (similar to arsenal but it's much more fun) and there's lots of maps and game modes. some of the game modes are (king of the hill, players vs players. players vs bots, free for all (abbreviation ffa) which is i think all? but i'm not sure.) it doesn't have much gamepasses that people are interested in, (nor do they use it) people are more focused on being first, being the one who won the game. there is also a practice area of where you can practice to play the REAL game. much much people don't know about this game (it's better than paintball and arsenal combined). the max players this game gets is up to 290. this game has been my favorite for a year. i've never really gotten bored of it. now being first isn't always what's in most of the player's mind. they just want to play and have fun in a game they like. i so recommend rfti. theres also dingus which is also super underrated (i explained about it in a different comment)
Back in the day it was very popular with large communities etc, then Keith decided to take a break for a while. The game stagnated and fell off, but now he came back and it's starting to pop off again.
there was that arc of the game for a while but keth decided for fire all the veteran devs and hire some "teenagers" which he later also kicked out of the game dev team, then he started just being a solo dev on a game that huge with so much potential and space politics which would bring some other people than just teenagers to the game
I play a survival game called prior exctinction.its basically a realistic dinosaur survival game. It is by far the best graphics and models i’ve ever seen in roblox, and yet it only gets an average of 800 players
Got a good game that really cost some skills to play: Arcane Odyssey. Arcane odyssey is a RPG/adventure game where you have magic or use fighting skills or master the swordsman. You wake as on a island and decide to explore the island. Then you find that you whole memory is gone. While you sailing to a small town further it has been raided by Jaw pirates. After defeating the Jaw pirates you go to sleep and wake up next morning whit a quest to defeat magic user in the southern jaws. When you arrived at the southern jaws you have to defeat your first boss. After you defeated that boss you return to the small town and the next thing you want to do is go to a other island and this is where the adventure starts. Choose the path and be a hero to have order in the cursed seas or be a villian and bring chaos to the world and seek power! the adventure is yours in arcane odyssey.
Mega Mech should also count as an honorable mention for underrated games, because the devs poured their money, hearts, and souls into making a game that is visually stunning and has decent progression. Their situation is exactly like Starscape's in that they unfortunately actively lose money and fail to retain a lot of players. Definitely look into it.
That exactly happens with tbz.Lack of devs make the overhaul update and the whole game discontinued.Also poor players,there are like 87-200 Players.Such a good tdg. I dont know if it was also for no money but keeping players has to be the thing that make lose the motivation of devs.Never thinked of how unfair is the hopes of having a good game.For now,a good game is useless,you have to make a lot of money.
Starscape fell off cause of roblox itself, when they didn't give the dev team creator funding and instead gave it to some shitty sim or something (can't remember) that legit fell off in a few weeks
I wholeheartedly agree that the more underrated games struggle especially with initiating new players. Arcane Lineage, for example, not only has a very irregular leveling system that wouldnt be intuitively easy to figure out at all for even seasoned rpg players, but it also features quests that dont even tell you the objectives you need to complete. While there is a tutorial npc, he is also unmarked and could be potentially missed when you spawn in due to his positioning relative to the player. The devs put in time to make pretty interesting game design decisions, but they fail to make basic additions that most games have been doing for decades, and that most mindless and predatory games are excellent at doing. Especially with how simplostic they are to learn by comparison.
Arcane lineage is bad i had to spend so much time searching up things that when i got to play the game for my necromancer build i didnt want to play because i died 2 times because of a bug but i love it
Good intro and comments about the gambling system but many other aspects were glossed over or not mentioned. Popularity of a game is based on a few factors: the ability to attract new players and player retention once you have them. From an attracting new players standpoint is it: 1) Easily accessible/playable? 2) Is it attractive for TH-camrs to cover? 3) Is it related to a popular trend or have a built-in fan base? 4) Is a social game? 5) Would players recommend friends to it? 6) Does it have general audience appeal? 7) How is the game rated by others? Many games have gimmicks to like the game and join their group A deeper dive into 1) is that games will often copy other popular games. While they often won't be as popular as the original, the entry point is low because players will already be familiar with the gameplay. Then there's player retention: A) Does the game have holding power such as good gameplay or high replay ability? B) What are the hooks? (as mentioned a gambling mechanic might be one of the greatest) C) Can the game be played afk? Having a large player base afk gives the illusion a game is being actively played more than it actually is. It's just being played by an autoclicker. To make the trend even worse there's a new rejoin code getting added to many games to keep mobile players online without an autoclicker. D) Does the game have regular updates? E) Are the players given incentives to compete for top spot or to keep climbing the ladder?
Starscape, my beloved. Thank you for acknowledging this masterpiece. Seeing the only game that *I personally* find fun is somewhat satisfying (i have been playing games on steam because roblox is kinda bad nowadays) Ngl starscape’s gameplay is kinda similar to Albion Online
this makes me remember that two days ago, i was checking for random games, clicked one game and decided to check on its "recommended experiences". i only found skibidi brainrot games and all were above 85% of the like ratio now, im not trying to say that people who make those games are bad, but what i also thought about after watching this was that if there is a trendy character in the internet where like 80% of the fans are kids, they will just put that popular character in their thumbnail or make a game focused on it (and some lack effort). and we seen it with digital circus and grimace shake (mostly on simulator games) just wanted to point out a pattern that i see
True there is no good skibidi toilet game bec people know that 95% of people who watch it are kids who watch lanxy box 12 hours a day. Wtf is wrong with parents
Item Asylum is an RNG game but isnt considered gambling as the items are free to get in private servers (except perfect run items like: Grand Volley and painted sword (the ones i got currently)) And i played gambling games like sols rng and i found myself getting bored easily
the difference is sols rng is just spinning (literally gambling) to get titles that have no benefit. item asylum is actually a game, it just has a random loadout every time you spawn
Talking about underrated games, Entry Point will always have a special spot in my heart. Playing it with friends pre-SCRS and Black Dusk era was the most fun thing ever. Maybe even one of the best stealth/action games on Roblox. But now the playerbase has kind of decreased ever since Cishshato said they would stop working on it
Zombie Rush has stood the test of time. I’m honestly surprised nobody talks about it enough. To me, it’s still in the top 10 of one of the best games on Roblox. It’s pretty simple, not too complicated, and still gets frequent updates. It’s not as big as it was back in 2017, but it still gets a good amount of players. Again, I’m honestly surprised as to how it doesn’t get talked about enough. I’m honestly happy the devs have stuck around after all these years.
Hexaria is rly good but it's so irritating to grind on bandits for 20000 hours before actually being able to not die to a singular wizard in the 2nd world
I have a bunch of dead games from years and years ago that used to be popular (and I really enjoyed) in my favourited section, they always have 0 players and I refuse to let them properly rest in peace.
One of the best videos I've seen out their, great job. I am a very heavy critic of front page games on Roblox, since a crap ton of them have over 100k players yet the games themselves have no depth, are pyramid schemes run by the devs who usually never get punished legally. Though I expect it won't be long before many dev scandals start appearing over popular games with low quality .
Arcane Lineage is actually a W game. While there are a few bugs and things that might ruin your gameplay, they can sometimes be rare. I really recommend arcane lineage 10/10 game (I have too many hours on it)
oh no i not playing that game because owner made one of game which was not his and actually stolen and if you know owner too well you know what i talk about

Fantastic frontier was an actual good game, the main issue that made it have not many players is how hard is early game in special for melle classes. It could have been solved if there was block or dodge to help player deal with enemies easier
Ive been playing vestria since release, it's used to be popular and had thousands of players online (which I loved cus they would help me with quest). Now barely 1/5 of that. I am glad you are talking about it. I hope one day it will revive, it terms of popularity, since developers are updatingit no matter what (even tho it didn't make the cut 😔)
i used to grind a lot of hexaria and i loved the game. the only prblem i have with it is after a while its more just repeating the same op strats on bosses to get more op cards used in more strats with more bosses. its also very grindy with low drop chances and very hard for solo players as most of the bosses are near impossible
Fun fact pilgrammed used to be a popular game it used to average around 10 to 23k players on its release the reason why pilgrammed died out is that if you did everything beastiary mirrors etc there wont be anything more to do
This video gets a like from me JUST for mentioning Fantastic Frontier, more people need to be made aware of this game, and I'm very aware of it's shortcomings (ahem, trash hitboxes and progression scaling), but let's just hope the update coming out in 2046 will fix those issues so new and returning players alike can enjoy it.
Vesteria lags when u join for the first on a device, trust me, I play vesteria on my phone and most of the times is stable until a boss spawns and a try hard shoots him 12k arrows
Starscape is pretty much dead until Keth gets some sense into his head, he failed as a developer twice, I doubt people would give him a third chance. He made the mistake of pulling the plug instead of putting things on hold and fixing things, that is why development is doing so bad, and Keth is really disconnected from the community, he has been gone for to long.
@@SyysysysysyaWuwujhdidsjs-tz4bf Or better yet give players cruisers so they have all the turret sizes, he keeps making excuses on why people can't have them, despite cruisers already existing in the game. Also he needs to finish adding new turrets because he did a terrible job doing that, heck one of the new turrets isn't even new at all, just a reskin.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 cruisers are supossed to come along with player stations because youre supossed to ONLY craft them at your station or your faction's and the main reason is because keth is crying that he doesnt know how to balance the player stations for defense and offense, he doesnt want 100 people defending a station and leave no space for attackers and just eating 5 of them this is why he doesnt want to release them yet, plus cruisers will be so big that they will only be reliable for fleet battles and maybe pve
@@Panzeh Which I say that is all bullcrap, the game can handle having cruisers just fine, besides Keth cheated and gave himself one while doing some combat. Also they don't really need a specialized shipyard, they are still small enough to dock at stations just fine, they aren't as big as people think, it's the battle/heavy cruisers and battleships that are really big. Also Keth needs to finish adding the new turrets, they have been sitting there waiting for far to long, and he needs to change blasters, they are just a reskin of repeaters.
Imagine this: You may choose to either play the first game or the second, both about mathematic The first game only require addition and multiplication skill, and you get coin easily. But the second? There's no such thing as currency here, there are only badges and achievements. Furthermore, to be good at the second game, you actually have to learn mathematic and spend time in it. The game guide and encourage you to learn about things such as functions, domain and range of functions, geometric constructions and proofs, derivitive and integration in calculus, linear algebra, introduction to real analysis, number theory, groups, rings, and fields, algebraic system(or galois theory) functional analysis, topology and metric space, just to name a few with the order of study. This takes a lot of time, and of course, the problems are quite challenging. However, the second game is miles more enjoyable. Why? Welp, the first game only provide momentary satisfaction, but it won't provide player anything meaningful. The second game is totally different, it actually provides player motivation for learning, broaden player's world view, and let player leaves with something useful beyond the enjoyment and sense of satisfaction. For instance, a game that talks about a story is not that interesting and meaningful(although its still miles better than those popular games on roblox somehow), but if the story contains a small portion of those fundamentals of intellegence that you will see in Shakespeare plays(such as Legend of Heros), or a meaningful life experience, thats completely different, and this is part of what makes a game great. Of course, a game don't have to be great, being decent or playable is alright. But there's the flaw, are games on roblox today actually playable(this statement is only for those gambling afk games)? At least I won't call leaving a computer running 24/7 without even having the most negligible involvement or thinking 'playing' a game(no meant for harm or hostility, I am just providing my opinion). All i want to say is that, the type of game that is popular reflects what the society of that period is like, afterall: Anything made by human is itself a game of humanity. Also, just an extra seemingly unrelated thing. Many people living in modern age cares too much about gaining and losing and etc, playing game is suppose to be entertaining, but where are the entertainments in those game now? Entertainment is to let people relax and reflect on the content(such as the plot and meaning of the story, the solution to a question, potentiao solution to a proboem we face, or historical significance and reasoning behind a historical event, etc). But many of the game today? They focus on luring players toward darkness, a region of the ocean in which the force of wave points whirlingly inward. They won't provide light and hope to players, they deprive them from players. For one would never be satisfied by those momentary satisfaction, they will only left the pain of losing it in their memory, and devote for it to return, and become willingful to be trapped inside the cage which they created themselve. Hopeful those problem and issues will vanish in the near future.
@@SuperPostall Thats just part of the fun, its randomness allows it to get away with things like that, not to mention if you actually know how to play its far from impossible to beat nearly any item
I feel like Slap Battles does really well in balancing quality game design with the tactics used to hook players that were described in this video. It has a lot of AFKability with certain gloves being very AFKable and sometimes being practically required to AFK to get (Bob, Fish, Voodo, etc.) but it still has great mechanics and is a quality game, plus it still makes you earn those AFKable gloves because a lot of them require you to put yourself in a vulnerable position where you can be griefed by other players. And you still have to earn the gloves that you use to get those AFKable ones.

As a Hexarian and Vesterian (Now an Arcane Odyssey player + Pilgrammer + Entry Point, and more), I have seen the deep lore of Hexaria. It's so deep, I began theorizing on ONE character after trying to go to Snowville and look at the three rooms in Jessie's place (WHO. THE. HECK. WAS. JENNA?). The Mage Incidents were also dark (Path of Fire's new lore is dark, since the hate against dark magic users is strong, and we get to see why Hellfire is unobtainable). I am awaiting more Astral lore, not just the Pyromancy lore. *_And I still get beaten up by a crazy Touhou man, who probably drank too much love juice._* Arcane Lineage bonus: Actions have consequences, and I like to make wild guesses on who this "god" you see when you die is.
they also follow the gen alpha trend (they like skibidi toilet, so they are inclined to play games featuring the skibidi toilet. hence, toilet defense exists.)
I think there is a case that loomian legacy is actually a really good game, sure it can be not very f2p friendly but it is still great for a pokemon like game you can play for free and the pvp is just so good imo it is so satisfying when you sweep the entire enemy team.
Yes I agree loomian is really good. Another cool game from that category is the doodle world, it gets updated almost everyday with new doodles, skins and quality futures I really recommend it if you like Pokémon like games.
I play a very underrated fps game called arms of solitare (used to be ace of spadez) which gets at maximum 160 players online. The game is really fun and the environment is destructible, really recommend it

I spent $160 on blox fruits in one day. Not saying this to brag, because I regretted it immediately. I don't even play that game as much as I do other games. All for some permanent fruits that a friend said I should buy. So I bought them, then grinded to the final sea where my friends were. That game is so boring. You sit there clicking the same buttons over and over. Completing the same missions over and over. The same could be said for most games on roblox today.
it was quite addictive for me around the year 2023...i remember the time when i used to mindlessly grind 100-150 levels a day and spinned/owned most of the fruits except 5-6 ones. But the account got terminated tho.

The fantastic frontier is one of my favorite games, and the main reason there are barely any new players except for veterans players is because mainly they game is GRINDY, almost all of the enemies for starters are deadly, and the game isn't exactly the type of game a kid would even player, it is isn't for casual gamers and is more so punishing, you could easily get lost if you don't know the map
Yeah, the PVP is practically dead because the only play style "pro" players use is just using long range cannons on a fast ship. This ruins both PVP and PVE because it limits where you can go, alongside permanent loss of a ship if you die in wild system, THE MOST IMPORTANT AND FUN SYSTEM IN THE GAME
3 reasons:
•Gambling
•TH-camrs that kids watch
•Trends and TikTok
the youtubers that kids watch only make those videos because kids like it, same with tiktok and trends (the tiktok part is definitely not going to age well). no example for gambling tho 😭
@@happyboy07685 there is uwucutesingle and cryptedpoppy promoted gambling to children

Flashy visuals too. games like blade ball, sols rng and blox fruits are filled with flashy visuals. Meanwhile better games have less of a flashbang to your eyes, giving you less dopamine

Can you try the underrated games mentioned and make a video about it? It will really help out those games get more support and attention
Love to see it! Absolutely adore fantastic frontier
2 main things you can learn after watching this video:
1. Every game you play makes you gamble with your time. The difference is quality.
2. Playing good game on Roblox = meeting with it's wiki, you ain't going far without that
the second one is so true lol.
2nd not always, good games may be not that hard
Needing a wiki to progress is a monumental failure in game design tho.
@@myb701 agree, but sometimes it's just the player, on terraria i used the wiki when i could use the guide npc
@@myb701 its a tradeoff, although it wards off some players, it adds tons of exploration and mystery to the game
Back in 2017, I used to think Bee Swarm Simulator was one of the worst games in the popular section, now with the amount of thrash boring games there is it's probably one of the most decent and I pretty much only play this game lol
i thought the sims back then were obnoxious, now with the release of pets go im questioning how is roblox even alive...
The reason underrated games exist because they don’t earn Roblox enough money to get recommended
Yep yep, that’s correct
Really sad. Like you can have the most garbage gambling game ever but since you make money roblox will recommend it like if it was good.
CAN EVERYTHING STOP TURNING INTO A LINK?
It’s sad, us small time devs have to work 10x as hard just for exposure, myself I have 4-5 games out, non get recommended, I constantly have to advertise myself on third party sites, then maybe if I can afford it rarely I’ll buy the adds on Roblox but I haven’t been able to yet because of biedenomics, but these machines that pump out the simple games that are the easy cash grabs flood the market
@@itsjakeithink Sorry about you man,know we all had a good game idea but it will never be knowed.This is like Clash Mini, was discontinued because there was not enough support.Sadly in a lot of time no one will be smart and make a good game that also makes money to get recommended since only one of both features are taken to a game.
i love how people say exactly this as if its a bad thing that roblox employees need to eat and roblox needs to stay afloat as a company
The sad part of theses underrated games are they dont get recommended so the game just dies and the devs dont have enough money to be able to make updates so they just abandoned it
I remeber playing pilgrammed with my homie after looking for an rpg beacuse I was bored until I found a hidden gem pilgrammed made me so hooked me and my homie would grind and try see who would get to the end game and get better builds and I remember when I finnaly made it to the end game with my homie me and my homie fought old fart together so many times to get that drop it just gave that memories you'll never forget
I yap)
Phighting is underrated for a really good game.
I think that happened to Allusions 😢
pilgrammed is dying because of their dev team, when it first came out it had average 1k+ players which is pretty average
The catacombs was the golden era of Pilgrammed. I love Pilgrammed, perhaps I should replay it on another save file.
@@elkevartwwwasn’t it 20k?
Ragdoll universe is a great example of this. It gets 200 players max and is made by Lsplash, it has a similar level of quality to doors, but gets less players than gambling simulators.
The fact doors gives me lag on any room 💀 Ok ok that was out the theme,many game developers such as the mentioned lsplash and hdc haves the forgotten and the popular/favorite son. Tbz and ragdoll universe had more chances that how they are now :/.
Lsplash makes some of the best games on Roblox imo
Wasn't it randomly mayhem
Fighting game with ragdoll physics. Banger music. Amazing graphics. It's fun even if you have a skill issue like me. Same as Jujutsu Shenanigans, but with destruction physics instead of ragdoll physics.
Because if someone cries Wolf to Lsplash, what he did was force you to never chat again or else itd be replaced with shit that was legit said by a 3 year old toddler, which is hella toxic. I experienced this first hand when someone got salty in response to my salt. lmao its shit. Also, damn bruh, Imagine putting Blox fruits as a bad game in the thumbnail, that's not gonna get Bloxfruit fans flooding your comments. lol
The most amazing thing is that the vast majority of all underrated games on roblox are developed or primarily developed by one person
It’s honestly incredibly sad that the front page is filled with games that lack gameplay at all. Sols RNG, or what I like to call, Soulless RNG, has ZERO gameplay. The fact that people destroy their electricity bill just for some stupid name tag. Anime games are pretty cool, but I’m not a big fan of anime games. They usually take LOTS of grinding. And well, grinding just isn’t fun. Some games are just exploring some big map which also isn’t even interesting. Games these days aren’t as good as before.
I do like going on adventures, but as long as there's a reward for doing it. If there's no reward, why bother?
I agree mostly except I’ve been having so much fun with type soul recently and the fact that anime just makes it easier to identify with the game and make me atleast stick around longer than I usually would.
sols rng just seemed so stupid to me because i actually quite enjoy idle games so sols rng just seemed like an incomplete idle game in comparison
Yeah you arent going to find the best games on roblox lol. And even on roblox, there are some really good ones
@@tudytudy3316 This. ^^^
Creatures of Sonaria is a prime example of the “popular games”. It used to be a good game, with a lot less predatory tactics. But as the game got larger, it just started going downhill at a rapid pace. It was (and still is, to an extent) one of my favorite games on Roblox, and it saddens me how it has deteriorated to this grinding slop.
However, the most recent event had been a lot better than previous ones (not as grindy), and I’ll say it is one of the less gambling-prone popular games. They aren’t focusing on the gachas as much, which is the gambling mechanic, and have been adding fewer new creatures every week. Although it won’t be a good as it used to be, maybe it’ll get a little better.
AND THIS IS WHY I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO CODE. I so want to make my own game with no predatory tactics and that just focuses on fun. But it’s hard to find a good, up-to-date coding tutorial series! Does anyone know any?
Edit: LOL this is the largest amount of likes and comments I have ever gotten. Thanks!
Edit: Since It feels like some people want to know what my idea is, it’s basically a game similar to CoS; Creature survival. BUT, it would have extensive lore you can uncover and unique missions to complete in order to unlock more creatures and items in general. Also, BOSSES and AI! Ngl, I feel like CoS would be a lot better if they re-added the AI creatures and made actually interesting bosses that are available year-round. I would also attempt a more hardcore seasons system, one that actually changes gameplay.
im leaving this comment here so you can ping me once you have made the game
and im pretty sure ill live long enough to see it
I played that game several years ago, my sisters were into cool and cute animal games like adopt me (utter garbage) but creatures of sonaria is fun, and pretty well made. I haven’t played it in a few years, but they kept adding more gatchas so you just have to keep playing and gambling. I got some of the best creatures in the game but they just kept adding more op ones and event ones, so it had no skill factor
COS was genuinely so baller but the community became so toxic and shitty, the devs mainly Ery got so money hungry. That beef with the other creature game (i think it was primordial lands or smth) was the first sign of cos falling
@@Rip-Tyro yeah, it was fun but once I had the best creatures (took less than a month of playing) it got kinda stale since there wasn’t a big goal other than getting every creature (no way I’m doing that) and other than adding a few broken event or gamepass creatures they didn’t do a ton of updates

Former & Current (and probably going to retire soon) (edit: not anymore, retired around May 5th) Sol’s RNG community and game translator here
I translate stuffs for them but I do not play Sol’s RNG. Or maybe I should say, I also used to have this Sol’s RNG addiction phase for a little. That’s probably why I put an end to playing that game. I was first invited to the Sol’s RNG discord server back in this year January, when the game was small but fast growing, to translate the community rules in Korean into English. I have sort of already knew about this game because it appeared at my “Friends playing” list on the roblox home and I had some connections with several developers and community managers, which is also the reason how I could work as a translator there. I still clearly remember my first impression in discovering this game, and I have instantly realized that something was terribly wrong. I still remember how startled and disappointed I was to discover the fact that the whole and sole purpose of this game is to just stand in whatever spot around the map, press the roll button, and just wait until a rare aura appears which doesn’t even give any benefits except its appearance. I have already knew that playing this game meant spending my precious time for some data scraps that doesn’t exist physically and only appears cool on the monitor. So I thought I would never play that game. Yet I did. And got addicted for a while. You would be so shocked how easily you could get addicted in that game, even besides the fact that I already had some addiction issues before. I was so addicted around that time in seeing the aura appear effect and collecting the auras that the moment before I stopped playing it I remember having around 8k rolls. The actual time I spent looking at the monitor would be shorter because of the use of macro and the built-in auto roll later in the update, but still I knew that I was addicted. I was craving for more and more dopamine rush, and it started to sort of affect my in-real-life routines. After realizing the severity of my state apart from my other in-real-life issues I was going through, I decided to put the end in all this by quitting Sol’s RNG and my job as a translator there along with other discord communities, so I could focus more on my real life. Basically went out to touch grass. It didn’t take long for me to return back to the Sol’s RNG discord server to do translation jobs again, because I have somewhat resolved my in-real-life issues. I have returned back to Sol’s RNG discord server, but NOT the game, around March to translate some game setting descriptions and the quest dialogues for the NPC called Lime. I never even bothered to open Sol’s RNG ever after when I quitted, even when I was and am working on the translation before and now. I can’t really say my addiction issues are gone, but I am still working on to fix it. Addiction IS a disease, especially when you also have some flaws or defects to your brain, which everyone slightly has it in some way. It would be sometimes extremely hard to fix it, but trust me. It is treatable. If you want to know more about addiction I recommend reading a book called “The Addiction Solution” by David Kipper. It may be a little outdated but the basic frame is same as what I said above. Addiction IS a disease.
P.S. I started playing when auto roll was not a thing, and I started using macro way later on.
edit: I do not really blame the devs for Sol's RNG. I know some devs there from working with other projects previously and I know they were not ready to have Sol's RNG get this popular. The devs there are the same young adults like me and they are not in some big game company. That being said, Sol's RNG was not "planned" or "built" to purposely attract millions of players with highly addictive gameplay when it was first developed. I assume they were simply unaware of what would come afterwards when they first created Sol's RNG, as they might've simply trying to create a fun luck-based simulator game. I do not really know the details. Anyways, I believe generally for any popular games it's completely reasonable for the devs to continue developing the game since realistically you cannot really give up a popular project simply because of it's controversies. Some people are actually enjoying Sol's RNG without really finding any problems with their gameplay (which I personally don't believe) and I believe the devs didn't have a lot of choice but to keep bringing new contents to make the players to keep playing the game since they simply wanted them to have fun and wouldn't want them to be disappointed. Every devs have at least some pressures coming from their player base. Now the reason why Sol's RNG is so controversial would be their highly addictive and almost 0 gameplay feature, which is the biggest homework left for the devs of Sol's RNG to solve. I believe the devs should acknowledge more on how the gameplay for their game is like and try to prevent the players being too addicted, such as adding a daily roll limit or something. They should really come up with some creative ways to make their games less addictive.
It's ironic how games are meant to be addictive but also carries this burden to be less addictive.
For those who are lazy or hopefully just simply too busy to read this, here I have the entire text summarized with ChatGPT:
I worked as a translator for Sol's RNG, a Roblox game, and became briefly addicted despite my initial skepticism about its simplistic and highly addictive nature. The game involves players standing in a spot, pressing a roll button, and waiting for rare auras with no real benefits. I quit due to the negative impact on my life but returned to translate without playing. Addiction is a disease, and it's crucial to recognize and address it. I don't blame the developers, as they likely didn't anticipate the game's popularity and its addictive potential. They should consider adding features to reduce addiction, like daily roll limits. Games are meant to be engaging, but they also need to manage their addictive aspects responsibly.

What a W you've earned
It must've been hard to leave your discord jobs for a while and the community also. I feel you, i'm also struggling with the addiction of playing something (Roblox or whatever game), i have that feeling that i must play something to gain myself satisfaction. when i do (play some crap game for hours), i don't get the satisfaction i want, and i start to realize how i've wasted my time playing all this crap instead of doing better activities like i used to do (workout, house work). Man... i got to the point where i'm lazy to even get out of bed. The first thing i do in the morning is to check my messages (not even messages from real ppl, just game based stuff like Clash of Clans, i got so addicted to that game that i got into Legend League basically top 2000 in my country in like 2 weeks. So i wake up, and i have two thoughts in my mind... sleep more or play this crappy game for farming loot even tho i have enough for the future upgrades, and ofc i end up playing that game for like 2-3 hours when i could've slept and get to work right after.
When im thinking, i used to work so hard before that i could do my workout routine at any hour 11pm -12 even if i was broken of fatigue after a long day of work (Plumbing and stuff where sometimes you have to dig a drainage ditch of a few good meters for hours for a whole day continuously). Now im just lazying around thinking if all that hard work was real, seeing the state of me now

Hexaria also has plenty of gamble to be fair
Just feed your Children pls
The funny part is that these "blank rng" aren't even about gambling since gambling has cons while in these games you only gain auras and don't lose anything.
You lose your time unless you leave it AFK, to which you’re not losing anything but its incentivizing developers to keep making these RNG games for more money which leads to the degradation of games
It's why i found the popularity of Deepwoken so refreshing
you don't see complicated and harsh games on front page and you most likely never will again, Deepwoken surprised me so much that there were actually people who've never tried such a game for the first time and soon after enjoying the game.

Tower defenders used to actually be quite popular for a tower defense game however with a lack of updates and the devs not listening to the community the game was dropped by many to go play other TD games
Speaking if other TD games, they appeared in greater amounts which made it harder for it to get players. Even if the update and community issues were fixed it would still be dead but by about 400-600 players instead of below 100
also some updates is what made the game less fun for me, because certain towers are not as effective as I would like. Aquamancer got nerfed and the placement hitbox got way too large…
Also I remember giving them tons of feedback on how they should improve the king ai. Because I remember the king being stuck on small spiders despite his targeting being on strongest, and if i tried to move him, he would still attack the same weak as hell spiders instead of actually moving. Then I die because he decided to not target those 500k hp minibosses at the front.. I came back to the game a few months ago and the king still has the same problem…
Another problem I have with tower defenders is how targeting works, there is many cases where towers can attack the same enemy and completely overkill it, so that is why I always have to change targeting just in case.
Tower defenders 2 :skull
Toilet Tower Defense is an absolute joke, I don’t know how people can play that game
Not having mobile support is also a big thing smaller games miss
yeah, i have seen that myself.
They are Two games not one
I remember playing Starscape in around 2019. I have vivid memories of just flying around, mining ores and going lightspeed. That's what I love about the game. There wasn't dopamine rushes like getting a legendary clan, but more of just playing the game and enjoying the seconds.
Fr...
The graphics is not even that good... Yet... I still enjoy simply floating through space, looking at a planet with 2 rings for minutes...
Heck, I even had fun reading stories about how others had fun... To randomly find a marker while exploring around... And reading about the time when players flood a space station with grenades, when the playerbase fought the biggest war, or when a player randomly found a secret unmapped dead star at the edge of the galaxy while mining in wild space...
The fun experience in this game just comes so naturally...
@@MuhmmdSyhm starscape is much more than that you will find out LOL enjoy the beginning while you can
@@LactoseTolerant50 I mean, of course... My reply is still in the topics of the simple things that happens in the game, and about enjoying the seconds... Of course there would be more complex things that went unmentioned...
I remember being a part of a clan in Starscape and we would go on mining trips. The rush finding good anaomlies like AA and AN or AL was insane (hopefully those are the right terms been a hot minute).

Keth should be given an award for making one of the best optimised game on roblox (some guy played starscape with 100 players in Gatinsir. Keth started blowing ships up with his spectator-X and he only experienced some lag)
I NEVER thought anyone would even mention Starscape on TH-cam if I were to be fully honest. It’s one of my favourite games, but I think the reason it isn’t popular is exactly like you said. It takes so much time to actually progress at all (but that’s not a bad thing). However, six-year-olds don’t have the attention span to actually stay on a game for longer than 20 minutes if it doesn’t have bright colours and stimulating visual effects/loot boxes.
not to mention most little kids also play on mobile where you cant play Starscape in the first place
Which is fine because Roblox is a children’s game
@@sovietonion4487Roblox is a game engine , like unreal, Roblox isn’t a kids game, there’s a lot of kids games sure but Roblox has a TON of really good games that are not targeted at the insane masses,
@@sovietonion4487actually it is 13+ and explicitly stated in the terms that it is not suitable for young children though there is a side with 9+ games. Most games however, have a teen rating and some even have a young adult tag. Im only saying this because of your obviously broad generalization.
Same people who like games like this where u have to grind r the same ones who say blox fruits is garbage cuz it takes a long time to get good at it
there's also another super underrated game i've been playing a lot. it's called dingus. it's a game of where you have to be hidden from the hunters by acting as a npc (there's other npcs too) (hider explanation) and do quests that are random. now there is a quest that are highlighted in red. those quests mean the npcs DONT do those quests. meaning you have to be as stealthy as possible. (hunter explanation) now, for the hunters. you have to find the REAL players. if you shoot 2 npcs, then you can't play (once, blinded). the npcs don't run. they don't do the red quests nor jaywalk. the npcs also don't go through areas that hunters can't go through. there is NO competition, NO currency (NOT EVEN ROBUX!), and just a game. lots of people don't know about it. you don't buy anything. you just PLAY. is so recommend dingus. there is also running from the internet (abbreviation, rfti) which is also super underrated. (i explained about it in a different comment)
I am a game developer who always creates unique games that do not fall into the categories you mentioned earlier. I prioritize my creativity over popularity and I am willing to pay developers to help me achieve my vision. I believe that the Roblox community's strict rules against gambling and the focus on specialization are the reasons why good games often go unnoticed. Players are more interested in popular categories rather than unique and creative games.
However games like My Hero Academia Battlegrounds might not good and got many dislikes because of the priority to take down anime adventures.
Also please please it's not my fault if the game was not that good or either too lazy. Two reasons is that I have school and second I still don't know how to script like a pro.

Fantastic frontier is probably one of the best games on roblox rn, easily top 3.
never cook again
kid named trapping bosses behind trees for easy kills
Bro Fantastic Frontier is so good it has been up there since release, the thing is the devs stopped updating it a while ago, but they did quadruple the amount of gameplay just with the updates alone. That game is so good i wish they would just do a standalone game on steam or something, they would have huge sucess.
My top 3 are
Nb. 1 Starscape
Nb.2 Tower defenders
Nb. 3 Entry Point
Fantastic Frontier is amazing idk why these dudes here are saying lol

Spectra did say the update is almost as big as the current game
Didin't he said x3 Times bigger than the actual game?
Or that was the people prob
I feel like there are also some commonly overlooked reason why people flock to the popular games.
Generally speaking, unpopular games either don't update often enough, they lack replayability/post game content, aren't beginner friendly/steep learning curve, they graphically look bad/outdated/too minimalistic, or (this is the biggest pet peeve of mine) they force you to use their character/avatar appearance.
Like do these devs not realize that perhaps alot of people spend quite a bit on their avatars and would appreciate being able to keep their look ingame?
Some games do give you a customizer for the game's own avatar though, if you can't live with that, it's a skill issue
In my opinion, it wouldn't be very fun if i was playing BRM5 and i saw an e-girl sitting next to an abstract amalgamation of colors and shapes.
I like using vanity the games offer a lot more

there's also another super underrated game i've been playing a lot. it's called running from the internet (abbreviation, rfti), it's a game of where you have to hit the enemy with different weapons (similar to arsenal but it's much more fun) and there's lots of maps and game modes. some of the game modes are (king of the hill, players vs players. players vs bots, free for all (abbreviation ffa) which is i think all? but i'm not sure.) it doesn't have much gamepasses that people are interested in, (nor do they use it) people are more focused on being first, being the one who won the game. there is also a practice area of where you can practice to play the REAL game. much much people don't know about this game (it's better than paintball and arsenal combined). the max players this game gets is up to 290. this game has been my favorite for a year. i've never really gotten bored of it. now being first isn't always what's in most of the player's mind. they just want to play and have fun in a game they like. i so recommend rfti. theres also dingus which is also super underrated (i explained about it in a different comment)
Im just so annoyed at how starscape never took off, imagine if it had a full fledged team of developers working full time on it.
I think it had but the owner wants to do it himself cause then he has full control over the project
Back in the day it was very popular with large communities etc, then Keith decided to take a break for a while. The game stagnated and fell off, but now he came back and it's starting to pop off again.
there was that arc of the game for a while but keth decided for fire all the veteran devs and hire some "teenagers" which he later also kicked out of the game dev team, then he started just being a solo dev on a game that huge with so much potential and space politics which would bring some other people than just teenagers to the game

Got a good game that really cost some skills to play: Arcane Odyssey. Arcane odyssey is a RPG/adventure game where you have magic or use fighting skills or master the swordsman. You wake as on a island and decide to explore the island. Then you find that you whole memory is gone. While you sailing to a small town further it has been raided by Jaw pirates. After defeating the Jaw pirates you go to sleep and wake up next morning whit a quest to defeat magic user in the southern jaws. When you arrived at the southern jaws you have to defeat your first boss. After you defeated that boss you return to the small town and the next thing you want to do is go to a other island and this is where the adventure starts. Choose the path and be a hero to have order in the cursed seas or be a villian and bring chaos to the world and seek power! the adventure is yours in arcane odyssey.
That game is good whilst being hard at the same time and the updates take pretty long
Would play odyssey if I was on PC but Im on mobile
Its a cool game but the pvp is fucking ass its literally just blox fruits pvp but somehow more annoying
I feel like World of Magic was kinda better than Arcane Odyssey
@@smopal6418I agree the game is so incomplete rn, has no content and is ass!
Mega Mech should also count as an honorable mention for underrated games, because the devs poured their money, hearts, and souls into making a game that is visually stunning and has decent progression. Their situation is exactly like Starscape's in that they unfortunately actively lose money and fail to retain a lot of players. Definitely look into it.
Used to play it , it was fun game
I mean it's pretty much a copy of the game War Robots but I would still say it's on the better side of roblox games
I reember that game...
That exactly happens with tbz.Lack of devs make the overhaul update and the whole game discontinued.Also poor players,there are like 87-200 Players.Such a good tdg.
I dont know if it was also for no money but keeping players has to be the thing that make lose the motivation of devs.Never thinked of how unfair is the hopes of having a good game.For now,a good game is useless,you have to make a lot of money.
Starscape fell off cause of roblox itself, when they didn't give the dev team creator funding and instead gave it to some shitty sim or something (can't remember) that legit fell off in a few weeks
I wholeheartedly agree that the more underrated games struggle especially with initiating new players. Arcane Lineage, for example, not only has a very irregular leveling system that wouldnt be intuitively easy to figure out at all for even seasoned rpg players, but it also features quests that dont even tell you the objectives you need to complete. While there is a tutorial npc, he is also unmarked and could be potentially missed when you spawn in due to his positioning relative to the player. The devs put in time to make pretty interesting game design decisions, but they fail to make basic additions that most games have been doing for decades, and that most mindless and predatory games are excellent at doing. Especially with how simplostic they are to learn by comparison.
Arcane lineage is bad
i had to spend so much time searching up things that when i got to play the game for my necromancer build i didnt want to play because i died 2 times because of a bug
but i love it
Good intro and comments about the gambling system but many other aspects were glossed over or not mentioned.
Popularity of a game is based on a few factors: the ability to attract new players and player retention once you have them.
From an attracting new players standpoint is it:
1) Easily accessible/playable?
2) Is it attractive for TH-camrs to cover?
3) Is it related to a popular trend or have a built-in fan base?
4) Is a social game?
5) Would players recommend friends to it?
6) Does it have general audience appeal?
7) How is the game rated by others? Many games have gimmicks to like the game and join their group
A deeper dive into 1) is that games will often copy other popular games. While they often won't be as popular as the original, the entry point is low because players will already be familiar with the gameplay.
Then there's player retention:
A) Does the game have holding power such as good gameplay or high replay ability?
B) What are the hooks? (as mentioned a gambling mechanic might be one of the greatest)
C) Can the game be played afk? Having a large player base afk gives the illusion a game is being actively played more than it actually is. It's just being played by an autoclicker. To make the trend even worse there's a new rejoin code getting added to many games to keep mobile players online without an autoclicker.
D) Does the game have regular updates?
E) Are the players given incentives to compete for top spot or to keep climbing the ladder?
Starscape, my beloved. Thank you for acknowledging this masterpiece. Seeing the only game that *I personally* find fun is somewhat satisfying (i have been playing games on steam because roblox is kinda bad nowadays)
Ngl starscape’s gameplay is kinda similar to Albion Online
this makes me remember that two days ago, i was checking for random games, clicked one game and decided to check on its "recommended experiences". i only found skibidi brainrot games and all were above 85% of the like ratio
now, im not trying to say that people who make those games are bad, but what i also thought about after watching this was that if there is a trendy character in the internet where like 80% of the fans are kids, they will just put that popular character in their thumbnail or make a game focused on it (and some lack effort). and we seen it with digital circus and grimace shake (mostly on simulator games)
just wanted to point out a pattern that i see
True there is no good skibidi toilet game bec people know that 95% of people who watch it are kids who watch lanxy box 12 hours a day. Wtf is wrong with parents
Item Asylum is an RNG game but isnt considered gambling as the items are free to get in private servers (except perfect run items like: Grand Volley and painted sword (the ones i got currently))
And i played gambling games like sols rng and i found myself getting bored easily
True
the difference is sols rng is just spinning (literally gambling) to get titles that have no benefit. item asylum is actually a game, it just has a random loadout every time you spawn
@@SupposedlyChase So pretty much just Arsenal but it's goofy
@@lazyshadow5027 yep, ia is a meme game

Talking about underrated games, Entry Point will always have a special spot in my heart. Playing it with friends pre-SCRS and Black Dusk era was the most fun thing ever. Maybe even one of the best stealth/action games on Roblox. But now the playerbase has kind of decreased ever since Cishshato said they would stop working on it
Zombie Rush has stood the test of time. I’m honestly surprised nobody talks about it enough. To me, it’s still in the top 10 of one of the best games on Roblox. It’s pretty simple, not too complicated, and still gets frequent updates. It’s not as big as it was back in 2017, but it still gets a good amount of players. Again, I’m honestly surprised as to how it doesn’t get talked about enough. I’m honestly happy the devs have stuck around after all these years.

I am a very heavy critic of front page games on Roblox, since a crap ton of them have over 100k players yet the games themselves have no depth, are pyramid schemes run by the devs who usually never get punished legally.

Fantastic frontiers is a great game I wish it was still popular today. W video
i used to grind a lot of hexaria and i loved the game. the only prblem i have with it is after a while its more just repeating the same op strats on bosses to get more op cards used in more strats with more bosses. its also very grindy with low drop chances and very hard for solo players as most of the bosses are near impossible
Fun fact pilgrammed used to be a popular game it used to average around 10 to 23k players on its release the reason why pilgrammed died out is that if you did everything beastiary mirrors etc there wont be anything more to do

@@xanthiusdrake2775 cruisers are supossed to come along with player stations because youre supossed to ONLY craft them at your station or your faction's and the main reason is because keth is crying that he doesnt know how to balance the player stations for defense and offense, he doesnt want 100 people defending a station and leave no space for attackers and just eating 5 of them this is why he doesnt want to release them yet, plus cruisers will be so big that they will only be reliable for fleet battles and maybe pve
@@Panzeh Which I say that is all bullcrap, the game can handle having cruisers just fine, besides Keth cheated and gave himself one while doing some combat. Also they don't really need a specialized shipyard, they are still small enough to dock at stations just fine, they aren't as big as people think, it's the battle/heavy cruisers and battleships that are really big.
Also Keth needs to finish adding the new turrets, they have been sitting there waiting for far to long, and he needs to change blasters, they are just a reskin of repeaters.
Imagine this:
You may choose to either play the first game or the second, both about mathematic
The first game only require addition and multiplication skill, and you get coin easily.
But the second? There's no such thing as currency here, there are only badges and achievements.
Furthermore, to be good at the second game, you actually have to learn mathematic and spend time in it. The game guide and encourage you to learn about things such as functions, domain and range of functions, geometric constructions and proofs, derivitive and integration in calculus, linear algebra, introduction to real analysis, number theory, groups, rings, and fields, algebraic system(or galois theory) functional analysis, topology and metric space, just to name a few with the order of study. This takes a lot of time, and of course, the problems are quite challenging.
However, the second game is miles more enjoyable. Why? Welp, the first game only provide momentary satisfaction, but it won't provide player anything meaningful. The second game is totally different, it actually provides player motivation for learning, broaden player's world view, and let player leaves with something useful beyond the enjoyment and sense of satisfaction.
For instance, a game that talks about a story is not that interesting and meaningful(although its still miles better than those popular games on roblox somehow), but if the story contains a small portion of those fundamentals of intellegence that you will see in Shakespeare plays(such as Legend of Heros), or a meaningful life experience, thats completely different, and this is part of what makes a game great.
Of course, a game don't have to be great, being decent or playable is alright. But there's the flaw, are games on roblox today actually playable(this statement is only for those gambling afk games)? At least I won't call leaving a computer running 24/7 without even having the most negligible involvement or thinking 'playing' a game(no meant for harm or hostility, I am just providing my opinion).
All i want to say is that, the type of game that is popular reflects what the society of that period is like, afterall:
Anything made by human is itself a game of humanity.
Also, just an extra seemingly unrelated thing. Many people living in modern age cares too much about gaining and losing and etc, playing game is suppose to be entertaining, but where are the entertainments in those game now? Entertainment is to let people relax and reflect on the content(such as the plot and meaning of the story, the solution to a question, potentiao solution to a proboem we face, or historical significance and reasoning behind a historical event, etc). But many of the game today? They focus on luring players toward darkness, a region of the ocean in which the force of wave points whirlingly inward. They won't provide light and hope to players, they deprive them from players.
For one would never be satisfied by those momentary satisfaction, they will only left the pain of losing it in their memory, and devote for it to return, and become willingful to be trapped inside the cage which they created themselve.
Hopeful those problem and issues will vanish in the near future.

It has a lot of AFKability with certain gloves being very AFKable and sometimes being practically required to AFK to get (Bob, Fish, Voodo, etc.) but it still has great mechanics and is a quality game, plus it still makes you earn those AFKable gloves because a lot of them require you to put yourself in a vulnerable position where you can be griefed by other players.

Vesteria is possibly my favorite game ever on Roblox. It's so unique that I personally believe it doesn't deserve to die.
vesteria is an amazing game fr
vesteria was goated, i stopped playing it though... i just felt like grinding all the way to XX rebirths i think it was? i just didnt feel like it fr.
I'm glad doors atleast got the recognition they deserve and gives me hope
I hope more awesome games like that gets the recognision like doors did
I would love if doors finally stopped killing me for not having NASA internet and PC
but before the lag issues it was a great game
@@trickygamer555 For real the lag,i play it since it came out and i NEVER even reached the courtyard until 2 days ago,where by LUCK i BEATED DOORS FOR THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE SEEK LAGS ME FROM NOWHERE AND ALSO THE UGLY GRAYISH TRAIN (Rush) If you dont believe me i had 250 deaths before beating the hotel,and most of them was by lag and door delay,i suffered getting the hunt badge because of lag that doesnt give me a second to tell me if a blitz spawned,some days before the hunt ended i got it and i was really happy.Also when i beated doors my heart was like a profesional gd player beating an extreme,i could never beat super hard mode and survive the drakobloxxers on their time because of the lag Issue 😔
As a Hexarian and Vesterian (Now an Arcane Odyssey player + Pilgrammer + Entry Point, and more), I have seen the deep lore of Hexaria.
It's so deep, I began theorizing on ONE character after trying to go to Snowville and look at the three rooms in Jessie's place (WHO. THE. HECK. WAS. JENNA?).
The Mage Incidents were also dark (Path of Fire's new lore is dark, since the hate against dark magic users is strong, and we get to see why Hellfire is unobtainable). I am awaiting more Astral lore, not just the Pyromancy lore.
*_And I still get beaten up by a crazy Touhou man, who probably drank too much love juice._*
Arcane Lineage bonus: Actions have consequences, and I like to make wild guesses on who this "god" you see when you die is.
I blame our degenerate gen alpha kid audience for actually playing some of the most raw dog games ever.
they also follow the gen alpha trend (they like skibidi toilet, so they are inclined to play games featuring the skibidi toilet. hence, toilet defense exists.)
@@AgentMango1and the owner was a actual good content creator
@@AgentMango1 oh and don’t forget about blox fruits, i play it and i can officially say it’s so boring
@@sleepjoob fr as a dev pov the models are garbage and its so bad its just a rpg game also not all gen alpha watches skibdi toilet
@@InfinteGoofballEditz They mentioned 'kid'
I think there is a case that loomian legacy is actually a really good game, sure it can be not very f2p friendly but it is still great for a pokemon like game you can play for free and the pvp is just so good imo it is so satisfying when you sweep the entire enemy team.
Yes I agree loomian is really good. Another cool game from that category is the doodle world, it gets updated almost everyday with new doodles, skins and quality futures I really recommend it if you like Pokémon like games.
rip_luffy usernames are gonna be mad at the thumbnail lol
I play a very underrated fps game called arms of solitare (used to be ace of spadez) which gets at maximum 160 players online. The game is really fun and the environment is destructible, really recommend it
Fantastic Frontier is one of the best games on roblox but we dont play it anymore due to its not geting updates
I played Fantastic Frontier once or twice, didn't like it, I did end up liking games like Starscape, Arcane Odyssey, and other (not as good but still great) games though
And that’s fair, everyone has their own preferences!
Starscape and Arcane Odyssey both has heavy ship customisation... Maybe you just like ships (not the romantic ones)...
An actual honest thumbnail I ever seen
Blox Fruits isn't trash, it just has a toxicity problem and the quests get really repetitive
(Also the spam)
But tbh I'm just waiting for upd 24
@@binojvarma i would say its mid but not bad.
(This is coming from bf player whose max btw)
I was just tryna watch a random video but u talking abt the gambling and addictions and how your brain wants more of it because of the adrenaline and dopamine made me realize i have a weed addiction thanks im getting help now
I spent $160 on blox fruits in one day. Not saying this to brag, because I regretted it immediately. I don't even play that game as much as I do other games. All for some permanent fruits that a friend said I should buy. So I bought them, then grinded to the final sea where my friends were. That game is so boring. You sit there clicking the same buttons over and over. Completing the same missions over and over. The same could be said for most games on roblox today.
it was quite addictive for me around the year 2023...i remember the time when i used to mindlessly grind 100-150 levels a day and spinned/owned most of the fruits except 5-6 ones. But the account got terminated tho.
Game always been mid knew that from release but kids got addicted and made it popular
And made noskill combat think theire good
@@Greedysm I think grinding for 10hours is not addictive plus yeah sure spamming is op but with enough skill you can make any build good
@@chess_is_crack spamming takes noskill
And the games combat is literally just landing 1st attack and rest is clicking 1 2 3 4 in row kilking the opponent
People just run and fly around with their dodges spamming far until they actually land something and then do somwthing braindead
@@Greedysm ye bro that's what combo means💀 plus you can always check what fruit your opponent has so you know if he's a Spammer or not
Deepwoken is an exeption, it has over 10k players active daily
Deepwoken is home to absolute brainrotted teens that sit in their greasy and sweaty gaming chairs 16 hours a day 💀
Good video man. Video idea ive never seen before, sure its prob already done but i havent seen it (may not be done before) but its a very good video
Pilgrammed is underrated af.
True
Ikr had me playing for hours
As a pilgrammed player who has played for 500+ hours I agree.
Banger video, haven’t watched the full video, but banger video 😍😍
hey cutie

i had playing tower defenders in the past, but i forgot what was the game called, ty for remembering me about it's existence
Gambling 💀 vesteria should be popular then.
ong grinding 1 week for an item just to curse it and destroy
Kinda why I stopped playing it
boom boom
@@xayoookrul931 all for that damned green
@@elijared100 lol i never got green I had like 200-300h in game but my luck isnt it. I could farm all day just to get only 20gxd
Play hours.
Edit: chill out y’all, I already played those game in the replies.
It’s sigle player o would of it had a real multiplayer eclipses is also really good and abyssworld. But all these games have 200 players at best
Play entry point.
@@Kaboom3739eclipsis (if that’s what you’re talking about) is really good but nobody plays it so i cant queue
@@epic3286 it has 50-100 average players on weekends nowadays
Entry point is one of the best games on roblox
yk its kinda sad that such good games dont get the recognition they deserve
Arcane Odyssey, Balista, Pilgrammed, and so much hidden gems
For people here watching, what are some good tower defense games? I personally like Battle Pets, it’s unfortunately lost a lot of its players though so I worry it wont get updates
Doomspire Defense, Tower Blitz, TDX, SCP tower defense. The og, Tower battles.
99 percent of gamblers quit right before there big win

btw i did watch vid b4 doing this this
Usually I can tell when people are bots, but with you I'm not 100% certain.
most players are kids and pre pubs, them dont like slow progress and interesting experience, just anime bandit beat games.
@@trickygamer555 this made with ai

The fantastic frontier is one of my favorite games,
and the main reason there are barely any new players except for veterans players is because mainly they game is GRINDY,
almost all of the enemies for starters are deadly, and the game isn't exactly the type of game a kid would even player,
it is isn't for casual gamers and is more so punishing, you could easily get lost if you don't know the map
arcane odyssey also deserves a spot
The execution guards wondering why everyone screams the one piece is real as their last words
ngl with arcane odysseys case it kind of deserved its downfall
;)
im playing it rn its so comforting
my most used ship got destroyed in a purple system 😭😭😭
Yeah, the PVP is practically dead because the only play style "pro" players use is just using long range cannons on a fast ship. This ruins both PVP and PVE because it limits where you can go, alongside permanent loss of a ship if you die in wild system, THE MOST IMPORTANT AND FUN SYSTEM IN THE GAME
I only played Starscape once, but it was so good...
@@RAMOBUS i never got a good enough ship to go to purple systems 😭
kids cannot comprehend complex and better games
short attention spans (their parents let them use tiktok too much)
since when would a small child be playing realistic shooters?
I remember playing vesteria years ago, not knowing how to progress, and leaving. Kinda proves your point.
Deepwoken is better then arcane lineage
yes
But 400 robux to pay is uhhhhhhh...
Its paid game and it got enough recognition unlike arcane lineage and that game is free so deepwoken dosent have the same suffering
Pilgrammed is better than deepwoken
Im broke no thanks
