Best Roblox Games That Let You Make Choices

Roblox, the popular online platform , has provided developers all over the globe with the tools to create amazing and unique games. Among the vast number of these creations are captivating story-driven games. And within this genre, are choice-based titles.

These narrative games allow players to shape the story the way they want to, allowing for an already fun story to become more immersive. Giving the player the ability to make their own choices can enhance the gameplay and replayability. These examples are some of the best that Roblox has to offer.

Updated on December 27, 2023, by Rhenn Taguiam: With the recent Roblox Developers Conference setting up the platform for more immersive 3D and mobile communications experiences, fans of Roblox may be intrigued to check out what the platform is currently offering users in the form of games its roster of developers have created. While Roblox is already known for unique game concepts, devs and designers may shine best in Roblox games that let players make their own choices, challenging game creators to devise ways of combining open-ended gameplay and immersive environments. Among must-try Roblox experiences of this category include a disaster survival sim, different open-world city simulations, a large school sim, and a fantasy MMO that looks nothing like the traditional Roblox title.

25 The Survey

An Ominous Survey That Offers Different Endings Based On Philosophical Answers

The Survey, a single-player game made by Daxua Studio, has over 43 million visits. It is a horror experience inspired by Start Survey, made by PixelDough, which is available for free on PC. Similar to the original, the player finds themselves in a dark monochrome room with a computer. This short game focuses on a strange interaction with a mysterious survey, prompting the player to answer a series of questions about their life and morals.

While the ominous questions of the survey are linear and the gameplay is simple, there is replayability. Should players answer the questions truthfully, or should they leave the room? There are currently 5 endings waiting to be revealed.

24 The Trolley Game

Save As Many Lives As Possible In Different Trolley Scenarios

The Trolley Game, made by Koobillion Games, has over 2.4 million visits. It is based on the well-known ethical dilemma “The Trolley Problem” and “Absurd Trolley Problems” by Neal.Fun. The original problem was first posed in the 1960s, and since then, has seen multiple video game adaptations.

This Roblox version is no different, being short and inquisitive for players. The player will be given ethically difficult scenarios about an oncoming trolley with different individuals who are stuck on the tracks. Not everyone can be saved, though. What decisions are made and who the player will save is up to them.

23 Get A Snack At 4 AM

Try To Get A Snack Whatever It Takes

Get A Snack At 4 AM, made by Stixxal, has over 80 million visits. As a re-imagining of the developer’s older game, Get a Snack At 3 AM Simulator, this choice-based game takes a more simple and humorous approach.

The player wakes up in the middle of the night feeling hungry, and they must traverse their home and local neighborhood in search of a good meal. In this single-player game, fans can use items, interact with NPCs, hunt for hidden objects and easter eggs, and discover every possible ending.

22 Natural Disaster Survival

Use Everything In The Environment To Survive A Disaster

While the main objective of Natural Disaster Survival is to overcome a natural disaster simulation, gameplay in this Roblox experience encourages freeform survival against the game’s 12 disasters and 22 preset maps. Whenever a round begins, players only have 40 seconds to prepare for survival before the game actually reveals the disaster they’re about to face.

Unlike other minigame compilations, the pre-reveal prep time combined with the random disaster concept transforms Natural Disaster Survival into a more flexible experience for its participants. Since disasters chosen in each round are randomized, players are forced to adapt to their surroundings to be among the survivors.

21 World//Zero

Roblox Fantasy MMO With Flexible Gameplay, Class System

Fans of the isekai anime genre may appreciate the fantasy allure of World//Zero, an MMORPG that spices up Roblox gameplay across dozens of dungeons scattered throughout various worlds. The game is an awardee of the Bloxy Award for Best Use of Tech (2019) and Most Immersive Experience (2020), both of which describe World//Zero’s use of vibrant locales and integrating its mechanics with its expansive combat mechanics.

As with other MMOs, World//Zero characters can choose a starting Class that may evolve into other Classes. However, players can seamlessly transition across Classes upon unlocking them per Tier, further diversifying a player’s experience. The game’s wide selection of abilities and skill ceiling attached to combat makes it much closer to a full-fledged MMO instead of a typical Roblox game.

20 Arcane Odyssey

Fantasy MMO Meets Naval Battles

Arcane Odyssey, an early access game by Vetexgames, has gained over 66 million visits. Take part in sea battles, compete for power, and set out on quests. Only the strong will survive in this harsh, magically corrupted world where many will perish. Fight other players or join forces with them to control the waters, seize islands, build castles, and gain notoriety.

Players can either perfect their magic, or completely give up on it in favor of learning fighting techniques, weapon mastery, and other skills. Even though the game is yet to be fully finished, players can still climb the naval ranks and choose whether they want to be friendly or feared.

19 Vesteria

Fantasy MMO With Freeform Leveling

Players who enjoyed their fair share of MMOs such as RuneScape and Albion Online could recognize Vesteria as a Roblox MMORPG that gives a traditional fantasy take on the sandbox concept. Becoming free access in 2021 after its 2018 release, players of Vesteria become adventurers of the world of the same name. However, unlike sandbox-style MMOs like RuneScape where players go free as soon as they finish the tutorial, players get a more fantasy RPG experience with the game’s technical Class System and freeform leveling approach.

Starting as either the tanky Warrior, the damage-heavy Hunter, or the glass cannon Mage, players eventually get to specialize in one of three Subclasses of the role they chose. With the game offering different ways of leveling up and traveling the realm, Vesteria encourages players to team up and explore the game’s 37 locations, all offering varying degrees of difficulty.

18 Backpacking

Enjoy Mini-Games, Camping Simulation In A Massive Open World

Gamers who enjoy the outdoors can grab their friends and explore the wilderness in Backpacking. Launched in 2018, Backpacking is a camping simulator that lets players team up as a camping group and travel across vast locales without worrying about traffic, pollution, and other annoying campers. Compared to other open-world games, Backpacking lets players enjoy exploration without the pressure of defeating monsters or doing PVP.

When players launch the game, they can collect in-game currency called Marshmallows that they can use to purchase vehicles and various camping materials. After loading their camper, they can ride it to vast locales such as The Waterfall, The Peak, or The Lakes - all simulating real-life camping locations. In Backpacking, players can retreat to a much more carefree version of an open world by setting up camp and doing activities such as cooking, fishing, or avoiding the occasional bear.

17 SHARAROOK! Creatures Of Sonaria

Customize A Beast To Survive A Massive World

While avid Roblox players know Sonar Studios for developing Dragon Adventures that let players hatch and grow their dragons, Creatures of Sonaria takes things further by allowing gamers to become creatures in the vast open world of the same name. Launched in 2021, Creatures of Sonaria will enable players to create, customize, and control a beast among the game’s 200+ species. Operating as a survival experience aside from being an open world, Creatures of Sonaria has mechanics similar to Dinosaur Simulator but amped up due to featuring unique flora and fauna.

What’s perhaps interesting about Creatures of Sonaria is how its survival system works with the game’s overall environment. The world has seven seasons, different plants, and smaller animals that work with the respective diets of each creature. Players may even acquire other creatures to morph into, though much of them are received randomly via the game’s gacha system. Players looking into a game similar to Pokemon may appreciate Creatures of Sonaria, especially if they’re interested in roleplaying as a creature instead of a trainer.

16 Blackhawk Rescue Mission 5

Simulate High-Octane Spec-Ops Missions In A Massive Open World

It’s not always that military action crosses over to the open-world genre, and Blackhawk Rescue Mission 5 does this for Roblox fans. Set on a remote island in the Bering Sea, Blackhawk Rescue Mission 5 players take on the role of operators sent to conduct various missions, be it against enemies on the island or against fellow agents.

Unlike action games in Roblox, gameplay in Blackhawk Rescue Mission 5 takes place in a fully open-world setup. On top of being able to acquire various vehicles and weapons, the game emphasizes player customization in both appearances as well as weapon accessories. That way, players not only get the chance to use the Roblox equivalent of guns based in real life but also accessorize them to accommodate various playstyles, similar to The Division 2. Players can group into teams of up to four members and engage in the game’s active PVP scene or enjoy the game’s selection of spec ops-esque missions.
