Obbies

Why Most Of Them Suck

 * 1) Basically, mh:crappygames:shovelware on Roblox in a nutshell. They are entirely focused on quantity over quality, meaning that they usually only have a large amount of extremely easy and generic levels that are sometimes copy-pasted on another level. Not just that, they are also mass-produced on Roblox, meaning that you'll usually see garbage obbies when searching for them on the site.
 * 2) * The games also feel extremely lazy, like if they used the baseplate template, just removed the platform and added other platforms that are texture-less to form an obby. This is basically what most obbies look like, their backgrounds are mostly the default sky image from Roblox Studio.
 * 3) It gets worse when some levels are entirely unbeatable, as players can either get stuck on a spot, meaning that those obbies are uncompletable unless you can buy a pass to skip the level with Robux.
 * 4) Many of them have lazily-made names and icons, which mostly consist of the annoying "Escape The [item] Obby" with icons mostly consisting of a path leading to a character's mouth.
 * 5) Speaking of "Escape The [Item] Obby" names, they are misleading, since generally in reality, you aren't being chased by an item mentioned in the name, allowing you to backtrack and beat levels at any time. They can also be outright non-sensical; for example, Escape Gumball Parkour Obby! just suggests that you are basically escaping the protagonist of a TV show aimed at children. So, what's the point of that idea? And sometimes, they even use objects such as Zoom, which is even more non-sensical since they aren't actual living beings!
 * 6) Speaking about the "Escape the [item]" obbies again, they don't have any plots whatsoever, defeating the purpose of escaping such items mentioned on those games.
 * 7) Even though some obbies atleast do not just have simple platforms with solid colors and get some decorations, they are still pretty ugly, having a limited amount of polygons and poor textures that look like a game from the fifth generation of consoles.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Of course, there are some obbies that are actually good, such as mh:perfectionrobloxgames:Tower of Hell. It's a game that generates random obby levels submitted by various users on each tower that lasts 8 minutes until the game generates a new tower.
 * 2) Some bad obbies also do have effort put into them, like having nice environements instead of using generic platforms and the default sky background, while they do mostly take place inside of a box. It's nice to see that their developers did atleast make their environements from scratch, while they might still flip some textures.
