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

    Couple of issues with this list:

    • OP said their son in his friends use Xbox Series X/S, so that effectively removes Krunker and Minecraft Java Edition. That said, I believe Minecraft Bedrock Edition is available for XSX.
    • Stardew Valley is great, but the son’s social group has 5 people. Stardew Valley only supports up to 4.
    • Cities Skylines does not have multiplayer.

    Can’t speak for Dorfromantik, because I haven’t played it, but the rest seem like great choices.

      Easy solution for Stardew Valley. Unfriend one.

      Joke aside, Factorio multiplayer would be nice to teach some logical thinking, but it’s only on PC
