My other half downloaded Roblox for my 4 year old (much to my dismay) and he wants to play it all the time!
I think he's too young for games like that, but don't know if I'm over reacting. What's peoples thoughts

Delete it.

At 4 he has absolutely no need to be playing it. Has your partner set up decent restrictions? Is he monitoring things whil he's playing?

Delete it. My kids downloaded it in lockdown, while I was ignoring them trying to teach other people's kids. It caused nothing but grief. Much too young too. Kids that age need to be outside, not in front of a screen

I wouldn't recommend this for a 4 year old as some of the games are about murdering people etc. There's also plenty of older kids and adults that play it so some I'd the chat can be a bit rude. My 7 year old has but she normally plays it with me and I've told her which games to play. We were playing a drawing game on there the other night and some people were drawing some rude images. I have to constantly check which games she is playing but thankfully she sticks to age appropriate stuff. There are some games on there that would be great for 4 year olds but I wouldn't leave them unattended with it.

Get rid of it. If OH wants to game with a 4 year old he should buy a switch and some of the many family friendly games to play with him.
