Among Us, a cultural reset game that defined the early years of Covid lockdowns.
So, how is it? It's pretty much an evolved form of a typical murder mystery game like Werewolf or Mafia, very simple gameplay but it's downright addictive at times. You go around and do tasks and find the Impostor if you're a Crewmate or you try to kill everyone as an Impostor; I feel like this game strikes a great gameplay balance between the two that you can even adjust if you don't like the standard settings.
So, hey, sounds like a good game, right? Well, yeah, it didn't become a massive cultural phenomenon for nothing.
Then why the 2 stars?
Colorblindness Rating: C
Ever since the game came out, I've had a ton of trouble distinguishing between light blue and white. Then a new update comes around that adds even more colors; this time, now I get confused between light blue, white, AND light pink!
The devs themselves even know this, because they added a Colorblind Text feature. Great, problem solved, right? No! All it does is add a little label below their names telling you their color, which, while it does help a smidge when doing callouts, it doesn't help when the maps always have the Lights sabotage, which makes it hard to tell what color ran past you and you don't know because the label isn't visible!
I guess the devs tried, but couldn't they have at least tried a little more?

Very well thought out detective type party game. It is one of those games that does end up just getting more boring the better you become at it, figuring out cool ways to prove people are impostors or crewmates is cool until suddenly everyone becomes competent and plays the game super meta making the game sort of monotonous.
It does end up becoming one of those games where you have to enforce your own rules in your group to keep the game fresh for everyone

É um jogo falho tecnicamente e até para oque se propõe existem outros títulos melhores, no entanto as experiências, as relações e amizades que esse jogo fez eu criar e perder são coisas que para sempre marcarão minha memória.
