If you do not want purchase prompts at all, Car Driving City is the only option here, and you accept ads in return. Then compare Google Play ratings, which run from 4.1 for Old School RuneScape to 4.7 for several others. Roblox lists its version as varying by device, so the number you see on your phone may differ from what other players report.
