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?

Kids shouldn't be allowed internet access

had someone lie about being imposter on their mom that has cancer, thats how you know its gone too far


Obligatory comment about the pandemic

Incredibly fun social game, if it bit bare bones

Best experienced with a group of friends on a discord call, trying to use the text lobbies sucks ass. While easy to get a group in 2020, nowadays it’s much more of a pain

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

Ah the classic. The game that defined 2020. Got a bit repetitive and if you didnt have friends in a vc it sucked, but if you did its phenomenal.

"Te juro por mi ascendencia que fue el rojo" (era el verde) - ahh game

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.

Among Us é fruto de uma época, uma carência de relações interpessoais que fizeram a recorrer a novos métodos de comunicação, caso se tire o contato humano por ferramentas alheias, Among Us falha em qualquer âmbito no qual se arrisca.

pretty fun with friends, haven't played it in years but it's nice that it still gets updates

I’m what they call a professional gaslighter

amogus

Genuinely can be fun with friends as long as they don't get too serious about it, updates have been fun but I haven't actually played it in like I dunno two years???

All jokes aside, it’s a very fun multiplayer game
