Robloxcontains thousands of different experiences to ensure that no matter what you’re in the mood for, there’s something for you to enjoy. Among these creations sits the work of some dedicated fans who have sought to recreate their favorite games in Roblox’s style.
These remakes strive to capture the aesthetics and mechanics of their source material and do so to impressive effect. This allows you to try all kinds of notable titles from the comfort of Roblox’s browser.
Genre
Horror
Lethal Companycaptured the attention of gamers everywhere thanks to its mixture of horror, humor, and intrigue. All wrapped up in the package of an engaging extraction-based title, it has proven to be an indie hit. One that is amazingly recaptured in Roblox, allowing you to explore those metal corridors looking for loot the same way as you may in Lethal Company.
Brought over from the original title are a set of deadly monsters. These opponents are just as mysterious and tough as you would expect, forcing careful play in order to walk out with your quota while avoiding all kinds of unsavory deaths.
Multiplayer Shooter
Fortnitehas ascended to becoming one of the most recognizable video games of all time. Thereasons for its rise to fame are numerous, ranging from its collection of crossovers, its free-to-play status, and, as seen in Strucid, it’s engaging gameplay. Fortnite’s combat includes a mixture of traditional shooter elements with building mechanics, allowing you to create defenses on the floor or secure a more offensive position for yourself.
Strucid is designed around these core components. Rather than just a battle royale, the game brings with it numerous different modes that allow you to hone your Fortnite skills outside the game. The building and resource collecting is one-to-one to what can be accomplished in Fortnite and the myriad of unlockable weapons allow you to practice using Fortnite’s arsenal.
Call Of Duty’smultiplayer is easily the strongest part of the series. The addictive rhythm of running around, gunning down foes, dying yourself, and starting the whole process over again has held theattention of gamers for decades now. And now that same military action has been brought over to Roblox in a way that highlights the capabilities of what creators can accomplish.
Frontlines takes inspiration from several Call Of Duty titles. Its maps echo back to the old days ofBlack Ops, while the weaponsmith feature is taken from the modern installments. What this creates is an exciting blend of new and old, not to mention animpressive graphical showcase.
The hit indie horror title, Granny, made big waves with its simple yet scary premise. Trapped in a house with the titular Granny, you must solve puzzles in an attempt to escape her clutches. All the while, she, or other similarly monstrous threats, try and track you down. The Roblox version of the game brings with it the same aesthetic and goal as the original but builds upon it by adding a multiplayer element to the mix.
This version, which plays more likeDead By DaylightorThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre, adds a new layer of horror by randomly selecting a player to take the roll of the monster. This way, gameplay is much more dynamic, forcing survivors to think outside the box if they want to have a hope of escape.
Sandbox
A timeless classic,Minecrafthas maintained it’s status as one of the most popular games of all time. The constant updates throughout the years have kept the game fresh, ensuring that players new and old have something unique to experience. But sometimes it can be nice to return the simple days, before Phantoms and Wardens, as a reminder of what Minecraft used to be.
Roblox’s version of Minecraft has that covered. A simple game that plays like Minecraft with far less of the mobs, this version of the game is more focused on allowing you torealize your creativityrather than embarking on an adventure. With the simple materials around you, Roblox’s Minecraft offers you the chance to build your finest creations on public servers where your fellow players can admire your handiwork.
Analog horroris a medium of storytelling that utilizes older forms of media like VHS to create a sense of unease for the audience. The Backrooms is an excellent example of this. The game version utilizes haunting liminal spaces and terrifying monsters to keep you on the edge of your seat. And now, the mysteries of the Backrooms can be explored right from Roblox.
The gameplay of the Roblox version follows the same beats as the standard game. You and your friends explore the titular backrooms in an attempt to make sense of this strange setting. Along the way you can find other explorers and clues, all the while avoiding the dangerous creatures that lurk within.
Five Nights At Freddy’s, Bendy and The Ink Machine, andPoppy Playtimestand together as some of the most well-knownexamples of mascot horror. This genre focuses on turning child-friendly mascot characters into dangerous horrors that you must avoid. Poppy Playtime, for instance, tells the story of the player being stuck in a toy factory after hours with the deadly inhabitants of the factory giving chase.
It’s an effective horror title that has been translated excellently to Roblox, which also happens to come with the bonus feature of multiplayer. Playing the episodes with a friend can help ease some of the tension as well as make the puzzles more manageable. But at the end of the day, the recognizable creepy designs still make for good scares, even if you decide to bring a friend along for the ride.
Multiplayer Action
Garry’s Modhas long since stood as the pinnacle of what modding can accomplish on the PC. Utilizing the Source Engine, the very system powering games likeHalf-Life,Left 4 Dead, andCounter-Strike, Garry’s Mod offers a total sandbox. Allowing you to play with a variety of physics and models to come up with whatever your heart desires. Creators have managed to use these tools to make games of their own, some of which like Prop Hunt, have become popular even outside of Garry’s Mod.
Zombie Survival, on the other hand, is a classic Garry’s Mod experience that has been faithfully ported over to Roblox. Even using the headcrab zombie models and weapons from Half-Life 2, this game feels like a time capsule back to the older days of PC gaming. Where janky physics could lead to a bed frame and a cabinet acting as an impervious wall separating you from the zombie hordes.
