As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money.
So I banned my kid from it. He used it a little bit socially with a few friends of his. What online or local multiplayer games should I help him to replace it with? (He’s 10, so please don’t recommend Diablo 4 or anything else that has quite that much gore)
He and his friends have an Xbox Series X|S at home.
Edit: keep your judgemental shit out of here. His whole social group (5 kids he knows from school) got banned on the same day. Me and the other parents are trying to be nice and replace it with better quality games so it isn’t just a punishment.
Edit2: Thanks guys. I got him Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge
Does he like off road trucks? Spin Tires. My 5 year old loves it.
Minecraft
Minecraft is turning to shit, do mine clone 2 instead, or whatever Minecraft alternative strikes your fancy. Microsoft is bleeding that brand dry.
Factorio provided you want a group of kids that you never see again that can all program their own PLC devices
If shooters, beer visuals, and light swearing (think damn, shit, the voicelines are pretty rare and can be disabled with mods) are alright for your kid, check out deep rock galactic. its on steam as well as xbox, and is a 1-4 player coop mining and shooting game where you collect minerals and shoot the ant looking bugs trying to eat you. its incredibly fun and ive sunk over 2500 hours into it without feeling for even a second that any of it was predatory.
Roblox content generation is hella preditory though. Just make sure they know that they probably wont be able to get any real cash out.
Just going to drop this here as something to watch for any people who may not believe you:
