Among Us review

Among Us is a multiplayer social deduction video game. It was first launched in 2018 but became popular only in 2020. The developer of the game is InnerSloth. Among Us is like the game of “Mafia” but in space.

Gameplay

At the beginning of the game, every player gets a role: either they are a peaceful astronaut or an imposter. The game lasts for 30 minutes. The peaceful astronauts have to do some tasks around the ship, and the imposters have to pretend to do the same tasks and to murder the peaceful astronauts. The game includes an in-game chat, and players have the possibility to vote for some suspects.

Graphics

The graphics of the game are not what you’d expect. They are very simple. But the 2D format with its cartoony aesthetic has some indie game charm. The graphics and animation of the game have the atmosphere of the mid-2000s games and we find it pretty nostalgic.

Replayability

After playing the same game with the same people, you’re most likely to get bored at some point. If you already know everybody on your team too well and can say when the person is lying immediately, it won’t be interesting to play. But you can always play with some other team. It can be your friends or just some random people online.

Conclusion

“Among Us” is an interesting game that is worth trying out. It is free and can be found on Steam.
