    Accessible enough for everybody, Among Us coaxes out everyone’s inner psychopath and Sherlock. With short addictive bursts of gameplay that's long enough to satiate, this sleeper hit has/will become a staple in your games library and gaming nights to come.

    Anyone who can rally up some friends simply needs to give Among Us a try and feel the brilliant tension that builds up within the group as trust deteriorates and everyone becomes suspicious. [12/2020, p.42]

    Among Us successfully transfers the devious gameplay of in-person cloak-and-dagger games to video game form. Murder and deception on a whimsical cartoony spaceship is so much fun that the only real question is what took it so long to catch on?

    Diving into Among Us, I see the charm despite its simplicity, and I can't help but to love the way this game makes me look at everyone as if they are super sus. Among Us is what it is, and unapologetically so. This year may be bad, but having fun experiences definitely isn't; Among Us provides a much-needed reprieve from reality without taking itself too seriously.

    Among Us is the perfect party game to play in short bursts or in a livestreaming environment. With an addictively entertaining premise, simple controls, and a brilliant execution, if you haven’t played the game yet, you need to right now.

    Unique mix of easily understandable mechanics, well-paced gameplay, depth and fun. Among Us for everyone! [Issue#307]

    Among Us can definitely provide you with pleasant evenings of manipulation and treachery with friends. It has ingredients that will appeal to the greatest number with an already popular concept. However, the formula may run out of steam quickly if it does not incorporate new features. Also, let's hope that the developers come to grips with the particularly annoying server bugs. The room for improvement is wide, and there is no doubt that InnerSloth will be able to change the game by honoring the proposals it provides.

    People keep playing Werewolf Online while it sucks to play online. Among Us suits better.

    It is accessible. It isn't a negative experience. It is a good enough game to recommend.

    Игра, о которой забывают настолько же стремительно, насколько стремительно она становилась популярной несмотря на свой возраст. Тем не менее об этой игре стоит сказать пару слов, потому что невероятно простым образом разработчики предоставили для игроков такой инструментарий, который позволил развлекаться миллионам людей независимо от их игровых предпочтений и вкусов. В каком-то смысле эту игру даже можно назвать феноменом, который позволил раскрыть некоторым игрокам свои новые способности. Например я даже не думал, что смогу нагло врать и не краснеть (на самом деле, не краснеть не получится), но ещё интереснее было исполнять следователя и ловить импосторов на лжи. Тем забавнее моменты, когда при всей твоей искренности импостором считают именно тебя. В общем, действительно очень любопытная психологическая игра, в которую я каждому посоветую поиграть со своими друзьями. Вполне возможно, что такие игры и через 10 лет будут вполне актуальны, потому что подобные игры будут актуальны всегда, когда будут актуальны социальные взаимодействия и эмоции, испытываемые во время подобных игр.

    Not as badly executed as other Trouble in Terrorist Town ripoffs but still it doesnt give anything special that would make it a unique game.

    Innersloth are the most neglectful, laziest game developers ever. Among Us is still a glitchy mess, even several years after its release. TheyInnersloth are the most neglectful, laziest game developers ever. Among Us is still a glitchy mess, even several years after its release. They have made millions of dollars from the game and could easily reinvest some of that money into hiring programmers to fix glitches, but they haven't. They don't care about their customers at all.

    Among Us is also plagued by cheaters, and Innersloth doesn't actually do anything about it. I know because I have "reported users for hacking/cheating" for blatantly obvious cheating only to find those same exact users still using the game the next day. Their website claims "bad faith reports… will result in enforcement of consequences," which is their excuse for ignoring this problem. They haven't banned me for "bad faith reports" and they haven't banned cheaters for cheating, by the way. That's just their excuse for doing nothing.

    I sent an email to them via the Contact Us link on their website about this, and they haven't replied. I bet this review will be ignored by them too, but you should heed my warning. Innersloth and Among Us are terrible. Wait until another game developer makes a game like Among Us but without glitches and without cheaters. Then buy that game instead.
