Very sussy
upsidedownwolf23 September 2021
It's an alright game but it's honestly kind of repetitive. The art style and strategy involved is the only thing it's got going for it. Also why do I have to insert my CREDIT CARD DETAILS to freely chat on mobile, can't I just send an email?

There's an imposter among us!
nataliabatsko20 February 2022
This game was super popular back in late 2020-early 2021. Everyone was playing it. And there were lots of fanart, fan animations, gameplays and memes about it online during that period. I got the chance to play it back in January 2021 and what can I say? It's not a bad game.

It's a modern version of a popular card game mafia where we have crewmates that have to do tasks and solve a mystery. But the mystery is about an imposter and who exactly it is. The goal of the imposter is to sabotage the spaceship and kill others. But they need to be careful, because if they get caught, they will lose and crewmates win. The graphics are simple but well done. Each character looks like a funny colorful bean that is similar to the minions in despicable me, which makes the customization easy. There are also hats, suits and pets, which players can purchase in a store, though that requires real money. But no need to worry, there's plenty of free hats to you can wear to distinguish yourself from others. The gameplay is fun, because of it's unpredictability. Unless your the one who is the killer, you don't know who is it. But you can find evidence like dead bodies or vents or fake tasks, to make sure that they are sus (short version of the word suspicious). I enjoyed playing this game a lot during the first half of the previous year. However, sooner or later, you'll get tired of playing the game. Because most tasks would repeat over and over again, which will make the game seem more boring, especially if you are a crewmate. And the chances of getting the imposter is pretty low, so if you are one, consider yourself lucky.

Since Among us is an online game, it will include online interaction like chat. And there are lots of people who play the game. As a result, some of them can get on your nerves. Some only play the game just to find a girlfriend or a boyfriend, some would insult others and use swear words, some would have inappropriate nicknames and even some of them would leave the game because they got the crewmate role ten times in a row. But others are actually nice and play the game fair, by respecting others and even helping by doing tasks when you are a ghost in it. So it also depends on the players on how the game will go, smoothly or horribly. I will recommend this game, even though there is a big chance that you already did. Have fun!

Very Simple and Fun!
yulsmelon20 September 2020
I've played this for long periods, watched YouTube videos about it, and it's always entertaining! I recommend this game and it's only $5 on Steam. It's very fun and simple. (It can destroy friendships too)...

And this game is about manipulation. It's very fun. I fully recommend this game. 10/10 stars

A successfully designed game.
DansLeNoir13 November 2020
Nice strategy and roleplay game but as in every online game, players can make the game unbearable with meaningless movements. It is not desired to end at all with quality players.

Starts to become less and less fun as the time passes
danieliusstojanov28 June 2021
The game itself is fine, simple concept, nice artstyle and not overly complicated gameplay.

The main problems are the community and the glitches.

Community is mostly god awful. Almost every round you play with toxic 5 year olds or guys who just randomly kick or ban people. Sure, there are some nice people and it feels great when you are actually in a decent group, but it happens very rarely. Also plenty of hackers that usually join and proceed to spam everyone with insults, fly through walls and end rounds in seconds, making the game not fun. Those hackers usually cannot be kicked by voting or by host because they just aren't shown as a kick option.

Next, an even bigger problem is glitching. Not sure how it is on PC, but on mobile it's pretty much unplayable a lot of times. Sometimes you get randomly kicked out of lobbies or not being able to join lobbies at all. People are marked as dead in the vote menu, even though they are alive (this glitch only happened like twice in my entire playtime) or the impostor kills literally everyone, but the round does not end. After the match ends you sometimes get a black screen and the only option for you is to close and re-open the game. Among Us is buggy as hell, even though it was completely fine around a year ago.

The only way to have fun is in a private lobby with friends, but you still aren't save from all the bugs and glitches.

Honestly, it is sad to see what this game is becoming. It was sooo much fun around a year or two ago, less bugs, nicer playerbase, but now it has basically become a meme, a bad parody of itself. I suggest you playing it. It's only a few dollars on Steam and free on mobile, just see the cool artstyle, the concept and who knows, maybe you will meet some nice people out there.

Missed the free chat, hate the quick chat
thesterlingweaver28 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
And also I usually play with idiots in this game, like, when I'm the impostor and I murder somebody in front of another impostor, they vote me like they are a crewmate, if you do that, you are a idiot. It's fun, but it's the other people I play with that is the problem.

Among us, the good, the bad, and the sus.
jyemoore18 March 2022
Despite the memes making me mentally insane for a short amount of time this game is fun as fuck, a pretty decent community + good game play = great game man. But i do have problems; people piss themselves and leave the game if they are not imp, people spam the living FUCK out of emergency button and Mfs get mad at little things like what colour you are. But still 7.3/10.

I highly really recommend this game . It's really so much addictive and thrilling both as becoming a crew member and also as imposter.

The most overrated game in history
pedrobelotecruz10 April 2021
The gameplay mechanics are extremely flawed, people don't take it seriously an nothing works properly. It only works if you play on private matches, otherwise, it is really bad.

Boring now, but not a bad game.............
owenpont-7080331 December 2021
This game is pretty boring now. I played it non stop for about a couple weeks maybe 1 or 2 months. But then it started to bore me. Then the updates came. And still the game was boring and actually I think it got worse. Amoung Us is a game you can't play more than a couple months before being extremely bored playing it. But I don't think its an awful game though, it is an honestly good game. But I just found it boring after awhile.

Its fun for a bit but it does get boring. I spent around 20 hours and it's a decent and really cheap game. If you have friends to play it with then I don't see any reason not to try it.

OVERRATED!
mahonezarrabi24 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is literally the most boring game in the history of boring games!!! I don't understand why everyone likes this. Play Minecraft instead! This is how Among us works: there are up to 10 players, 1 of them is the imposter. He has to go around killing everybody! Everyone else has to find out who it is!

It's a good game and all but extremly overrated and gets boring after a few rounds and you run out of things to do after a couple of rounds on each map

Th e impostor stole my credit card information
ewalker-559141 June 2022
This game affects you both in-game and out. The gripping, thrilling experience of completing the many difficult tasks while also evading the deathly grasp of the impostor creates an incredibly terrifying yet also humorous experience. During one match, one of my fellow cremates (or so i thought) expertly manipulated the deep mechanics of the impostor, and used his exceptional intellect to eliminate me whilst I was completing tasks within the electrical system room. This game has so much nuance and such a high skill ceiling that there is always something new to learn.

really good game but you will lose all your friend
nourytourangeaualexandre18 August 2022
Ok Ok Ok let me explain. Among us is a really simple game who blow up during the pandemic. It INCREDIBLE. This game has a lot of good gameplay for PC and Xbox (mobile it a bit harder) and really good concept. But my advise is this. If you play in public lobby there gonna be a lot of cheater, hacker and 0 iQ people. But If you play with your friend, after 2h of play you don't have friend anymore ( I'm joking)

Nice game Gg innersloth.

Inspired
10086cn12 April 2021
This game seems to be inspired by Death by Dinner Party, an episode of American Dad that was released just a few months before this game. Very weird, huh.

Overhyped
crazy-chicken-man2 November 2020
It's extremely overrated. Literally nothing original. Just another murder mystery game. If you like it, give me one good reason other than "It's fun" or "the memes." At least people weren't shoving Fortnite in my face. People hate Fortnite for being boring and repetitive, but that's exactly what Among Us is.

EDIT, FEBRUARY 20, 2021: Knew the Among Us toddlers would vote no and say my review wasn't helpful without even reading it. If famous youtubers didn't play it it probably wouldn't even be as popular as it is now, probably not known at all.
