Gameplay 5/5

Among Us offers you versatile attractions and mini-games inside the game. You have to perform the daily routine of spacemen on the spaceship, explore unknown land, or dwell around the main headquarter which is called Mira HQ. There are three maps respectively. Depending on your role in the game, you have different goals.

Selected participants assigned the role of Impostors must mimic the behavior of Crewmates to avoid drawing attention. In the process, Impostors are tasked with disrupting the Crewmates' tasks, initiating destructive events, and severing the oxygen supply. They may silently eliminate Crewmates individually, provided they do so without having their true nature exposed. Crewmates who fall victim to Impostors continue in the game in a spectral form.

Crewmates have a list of tasks they have to do during the day. TThey must maintain vigilance over their fellow space crew members and remain wary of all. Once they decide they know who the Impostor is, they have to gather the meeting and vote.

Controls 5/5

Designed to unite friends during distance, this game thrives on its multiplayer party essence. To facilitate seamless gameplay for users across the globe, the developers intentionally implemented straightforward controls. The visual layout remains largely uncluttered, save for a few essential commands such as reporting a discovered saboteur or eliminating another player. Its ability to operate across different platforms and easy-to-understand gameplay mechanics contribute to its popularity among players from beginners to experts. Moreover, the game's simple 2D graphics ensure smooth performance free of technical issues.

Lasting Appeal 5/5

Among Us is a never-ending game. Its plot can be repeated multiple times. Besides, the game offers 3 maps, which are fun to explore. You can change friends with whom you play or restart the game and receive a different role. The evergreen scenario will be interesting for both adults and children. Once you are tired of playing the “good” guy, you can wait till you receive a “bad” character to play. Mini-games can easily distract you from the mission you have.

Difficulty level

Navigating the game will come to you effortlessly. It will take only several minutes. However, it may be harder for the whole group to concentrate, especially if they are having a party there. It is better to practice your skills alone for some time.
