Each month, Prime Gaming--formerly known as Twitch Prime--gives away a bunch of free games and in-game loot to Amazon Prime members. It's a great, and often overlooked, program that you should take advantage of. And for the next eight months, Roblox players can secure unique in-game items to customize their characters.
Roblox is the ultimate virtual universe that lets you play, create, and be anything you can imagine. Join millions of players and discover an infinite variety of immersive worlds created by a global community! Live out your greatest cops-and-robbers fantasy in Jailbreak, a massively multiplayer open.
Kicking off the partnership is the Banandolier, a chest sling with decorative bananas, of course. The Banandolier accessory is available to claim until September 10, so make sure you grab it while you can. After claiming the offer, you can enter your promotional code on Prime Gaming's Roblox page. One new Roblox accessory will be featured each month through March 2021.
Roblox has only become more popular since its initial launch in 2006; earlier this year it was valued at $4 billion. More of an online platform than a traditional game, Roblox gives players the tools to create their own worlds and make their own fun.
Roblox joins an already impressive list of popular games that have free in-game loot via Prime Gaming. In August, subscribers can get items for Apex Legends, Grand Theft Auto Online, Destiny 2, Doom Eternal, and more. There's even an item bundle available for Ubisoft's new battle royale Hyper Scape, which just kicked off its first season.
On the games front, Amazon Prime members can grab a whopping 23 free games right now. Normally, there are only a handful of monthly freebies, but lately there have been numerous bonus games added to the program as well as a large lineup of classic SNK games that are free until the end of the year.

A Review of Roblox
If you can, imagine an online gaming world that combines Legos with Minecraft. This, in essence, is what Roblox is. A free game that you can download for the PC, this particular software package is quickly becoming one of the most popular games around. Although it's marketed more toward kids, many young adults love playing this game. You have a bunch of different worlds that allow you the creative freedom to build practically anything your imagination can muster. Of course, this isn't like a touch-and-go app; it's a legitimate game download. So the first thing you'll have to do is sign up with the service. It is 100% free to sign up, and there are free play features, but there's also a premium section that gives you a whole lot more to do.
The basic idea behind this game is to allow the user to be the architect. You can build up an entire world, brick by brick, and after you install the game, you can instantly begin stacking bricks and creating whatever you want. Not only structures and suchlike, but also entire worlds. You can build and exist within your own custom universe with this game.
What the Game is and How it Works
Roblox itself is a development company, and this release is its namesake. It's available in English only at the moment, and was built to be compatible with only Windows OS, so Mac users cannot download and enjoy this game. After you install Roblox, you will be prompted to create your custom character. From there, you can choose an existing world to customize, or you can create your own. The graphics here are great and it has a very cartoonish feel to it. Of course, this game is marketed toward kids, to help them improve some of their functions, so adults may find it to be a bit too bright and whimsical. Even still, it's very much like Legos, and since they're online and not on your carpet, you'll never have to worry about stepping on them again!
This is still in its early phrases; i.e. it hasn't been patched yet and so you may end up experiencing some lag and a few glitches. Though for kids playing this game and stacking their bricks, it's a great alternative to other games on the market today, and there's no clean-up to worry about when they're finished playing. One of the coolest features here is that kids can also share the worlds they create. After they've completed their online worlds and structures, they can find other friends who also have the game and the universe can actually becoming shared. So it's not as static as you may think.
