Design by Paola De La Iglesia and Alessa Arguello

Roblox isn’t just one game; it’s millions of games created for the purpose of entertainment and to help you escape from the real world. In this article, we will review five of the most popular games as of 2025 and tell you which are worth your time and which you might want to skip.

First up, “Steal A Brainrot”: In this game, you collect money to buy meme-inspired creatures called brainrots that generate more money while stealing brainrots from other people’s bases and defending your own with traps. You also use your money to buy new in-game gear and to rebirth for permanent boosts. There are special events called “admin abuse,” during which the game’s creator, named Sammy, spawns the rarest brainrots. The game is fun, and we like playing with friends and taking their best brainrots, but once you reach a high level, the game gets boring because there is nothing to do. We rate this game 3.5 stars.

“Omega Obby”: In “Omega Obby,” you complete a rainbow-themed obstacle course by running, jumping, and passing hundreds of stages. As you progress, you can win trails, pets, and tiles. The goal is simply to beat as many levels as you can to show off your progress. This game is fun, keeps you on your toes, and is entertaining when playing with friends. Each level is something new to look forward to. We would recommend playing this game if you want to slowly complete an obby with your friends. We rate this game 4 stars.

“Grow a Garden”: This is a fun game where you buy seeds, grow your plants, and sell them. Your plant’s value is based on the rarity of the seed, size of plant, and existence of mutations. Mutations are weather-related or can occur when a special event is going on in the game. It will randomly select plants in your garden and make them worth more. Overall, “Grow a Garden” is an exciting game that is also best to play during admin abuses, which, sadly, don’t happen that often. A lot of the time you find yourself running out of things to do. We rate this game a 3 out of 5.

“99 Nights in the Forest”: This is our overall top winner! It’s a game where you have to survive 99 nights in a forest. You face challenges like saving a group of kids, keeping your fire lit for protection, building a base to protect yourself from attacks, upgrading your tools, defending yourselves against a killer deer that comes out at night, and so much more. The fun thing about this game is that it’s entertaining and, over time, the map changes with new features and rewards so you don’t get bored. But beware, this game is time-consuming. We recommend giving it a try with some friends. We rate this 4.5 stars.

“Adopt Me”: This is a game where you hatch eggs, grow them, and take care of their needs until your pet is fully grown. With the money you earn from completing tasks, you can buy new eggs and trade with other people to get your dream pets. You also get to design your home and, over time, buy a new house and furniture to your liking. There are multiple mini games throughout the year, usually coinciding with the seasons and holidays. For example, right now it’s Christmas and the mini games are Christmas themed, including an Advent Calendar with accessories and pets on each day. Your pets age as you take care of them, and if you collect four of the same pets that are all full grown, you can combine them to make them neon, which raises their value by a ton. Overall, this game is great to play with friends. You can start a family and take care of your friends’ pets as well. We rate this game a 3.8.
