Stopped reading at the part where he says obbies are bad. Obbies are a classic roblox genre that honestly isn’t even that popular these days. But the core platforming mechanics are actually fun and theres actually very difficult techniques.
Math difficulty chart obby is actually peak though, you have to do math problems after each platforming section, starting from grade 1 all the way up to highschool calculus with the jumps becoming increasingly hard.

“the core platforming mechanics are fun” is subjective, but I generally agree with Patrick that platforming in Roblox is awful. I feel like if you think that is fun, you haven’t played a real platformer.

I have played real platformers, many mario games. There not being momentum in roblox movement requires precision, harder obbies have smaller platforms to jump on.

I’ll give you that maybe it’s just “different”, but I also feel like no one would give obbies even a passing glance if they weren’t free-to-play. There may be depth there, but I think most would agree that it doesn’t feel good to play.
