Roblox takes the creative spirit of Minecraft two steps forward, mostly because instead of a video game, it is a video game-making software. You can take the innovative tools in Roblox and create expansive worlds and turn them into your own games.

A software that is free to use, with a few microtransactions here and there, Roblox is the perfect free platform if Minecraft is not an option for you.
