This was exactly what it said on the label. 5 stars for that less one for the off-hand mention of age verification. I have standard tech-head Mike Masnik-like concerns with age verification measures (data leaks would be much better if they included photos and were mostly children), especially once government gets involved (famous implementor of reasonable and up-to-date data regulations). So I don't like when they are brought up as an obviously positive development.
Probably over a decade ago now I used to play Roblox. Middle school to early high school. Loved the tycoon games, I would spend an inordinate amount of time sailing around an island chain on little boats "mining" different resources, loading them in my boat, and selling them to other islands to get a bigger boat.
I was surprised to learn the main game in the later seasons of Mythic Quest was based on Roblox and essentially a beat for beat comedic retelling of the issues inherent in the platform. I really did not grasp the reach and influence of Roblox until that show and even not until someone pointed "oh this is exactly Roblox." It's wild how it just sort of exists in the background for most people.

Roblox is a scary place honestly

I'm sure my parents were utterly confused
