Abstract

The development of digital technology has driven changes in entertainment consumption patterns, especially among the younger generation. Roblox has become one of the most popular online gaming platforms, with a wide range of user opinions recorded on Google Play Store. This study aims to classify the sentiment of Roblox user reviews (positive, negative, neutral) and evaluate the performance of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm with TF-IDF weighting and automatic labeling using Lexicon InSet. Data was obtained by crawling 10,000 reviews during the period of April 2–May 23, 2025, and after the preprocessing stage, 8,950 data remained for analysis. The classification results show that the sentiment distribution consists of 41.3% positive (3,703 reviews), 41.8% neutral (3,739 reviews), and 16.8% negative (1,507 reviews). Model evaluation using a confusion matrix produced high performance with 87.03% accuracy, 87.29% precision, 87.03% recall, and an F1-score of 86.67%. WordCloud visualization shows that positive reviews emphasize creativity and interactive features, while negative reviews are dominated by technical complaints such as lag and errors. These findings prove that the combination of SVM, TF-IDF, and Lexicon InSet is effective in sentiment analysis and provides valuable input for developers to improve application quality and user protection. Further research is recommended to adopt a hybrid approach based on deep learning and aspect-based sentiment analysis to generate more insights.
