Among Us - Game Review
1Once upon a time Among Us took the internet by a storm, but is it really that great? I would argue no.
4-15 players drop down on a map of your choosing. The crewmates will perform pointless little tasks to pass time while they wait to die. The Impostors will sneak around and kill all of the crewmates one by one. The objective of the game is to be the last team standing and try to vote others out using your limited knowledge.
Among Us is a great streamer game, and a great game to play with your friends, but is a terrible public deception game. The reason it's so bad to play in general is because the community are just children who don't know what two plus two equals, and they will be unintentionally destroying every stage of the game since they are not smart enough to play properly. In their defense the game does not provide players with many tools to deduce who is good and who is not; and the majority of the time it will come down to luck and guessing.
To make Among Us even worse than it already is, there is a weird sexual nature surrounding the game, and if you don't believe me, simply take a few minutes to look at some of the usernames of players and the names of lobbies further down on the list. The game almost feels like a breeding ground for real life child predators to entrap their prey similar to Omegle & Discord. The game is also borderline pointless and non functional on consoles, which I am guilty of buying by the way (for trophy hunting purposes). I think the Impostor gameplay actually plays very well, but being a Crewmate is extremely boring and it sucks that all your hard work put into completing tasks will almost always be irrelevant and is just a means to place you into vulnerable positions for your attackers to slay you.
Among Us is one of the worst deception party games on the market. The only reason it's popular is because of it's memes and cute designs.
