Somehow managed to put off playing this when it was popular, and now I'm just kind of baffled as to how it was so popular for so long. Obviously playing without a big group of 10 people in a discord call does take the kick out of a social deduction game (especially when my fellow comrades are a guy who barely speaks English and a couple 10-year-olds) but I just don't think the actual core of the game is particularly satisfying either. It's extremely easy to cheese and the 'meta' is so set in stone that there's no wiggle room to really have fun and experiment. Every single round feels the exact same.

The PC port is also really cheap. You'd think a game that raked in god knows how much last year would at least have high-resolution menu buttons and controls that aren't just the mobile ones copy-pasted, but hey, I guess that's too hard.
