An okay social deduction game. Charming amogus characters, decent minigames, and a very simple to understand gameplay loop. This game is incredibly accessible, available pretty much everywhere and costs almost nothing. No wonder it took off.

While the game is fine enough, the main drive to this game is really how accessible it is. There are many better games in the genre with more depth, variety, bigger scope and overall more gameplay than Among Us, yet many find themselves keep playing this one. Why?
Everyone has it. Trying to get friends to play Project Winter or Trouble in Terrorist Town has you trying to set up a server, or get all your friends to buy a game so they can mod in the game they want, or has them try to play a first person shooter when they have barely played video games before. Among Us skips all of that. No need to explain the rules, no need to learn how to play a video game, no need to own a good PC or even be a gamer. You can just play.

That is why I found myself playing this game so many times during the past couple of years. But is the game itself great? Ehh, it's alright. Lacks depth and if you "play to win" instead of playing to have fun it quickly becomes an unbalanced mess with no way for the impostor to really do anything.
