Everything I've seen from Roblox just seems so rough across the board. Poor UI, poor graphics, poor gameplay. There's a sense of freedom that is quite refreshing kind of like Gary's mod. I'm just so surprised that with such high adoption, none of the money is going into make anything remotely polished.

There are numerous polished games on the platform, but the most of the players are younger kids on hand-me-down mobile devices, so the most popular games tend to be easy to run casual games. Here are a few examples of what you're looking for:

The fact that these are Roblox games are blowing my mind. Wow!

Polish is a double edged sword. Its other side is decisiveness, which is diametrically opposed to engineering freedom.

It's a hard problem, though I agree there is some low hanging fruit that Roblox seems ignorant to. I think the biggest reason for its success is an extreme lack of competition. Nearly every time someone makes a good enough (use friendly) sandbox engine, they wrap it in copyright and market it wholesale; and that makes decisiveness (polish) a high priority.
