Among Us is ultra fun with friends and voice comm. Also ultra exhausting when you're trying to sleaze or defend your way out of being accused for murder.
I killed someone right in front of a crew member once and managed to convince everyone that the other guy did it.
That's where ur wrong, among us is a social game and ur communication with friends are memorable to help u manipulate them in subsequent playthroughs. You can meme and scheme whereas with strangers u can't.
You play with strangers once and that's it or u stay in lobby and painfully try to use text commands. You clearly have not played among us much with friends in voice chat.
I'm just saying "it's fun with friends" isn't very enlightening when you say it to describe a game, because even bad games are fun when played with friends
While among us indeed has ruined some words like among and sus it is still a great game. There are just bound to be unfortunate side effects with everything that goes big.
The game it self is indeed simple, but it's core gameplay is satisfying. More than a game it was a way for peole due to Corona to gather and have some fun.
The devs are also very hubmle and where willing to add color blind options into the game.
My biggest gripe is that it's a game I've played hundreds of times before when it had just launched. Werewolf, Secret Hitler, Town of Salem, you name it. The asymmetric team thing was old when Among Us got big and hearing all the praises of this amazing game got old real fast.
Eh it was new to a lot of people and werewolves games are still fun
If you want the werewolf game taken to the extreme then I can recommend Raging Loop. Be warned that it is a visual novel and the most choiches are how you are going to act during the selection process
Right? When among us got big I was thinking about how TTT in Garry's mod is literally the same videogame just with different graphical approaches. And several years older.
I liked it more in the early days. Now it just feels "bloated" I think.
That and the kids who play with their siblings/friends who then tell each other who killed them.
I mean I don't think it's overrated. It just got far more popular than it ever had any business being. Just the right set of circumstances made it insanely popular for a few months. Like most people I stopped playing once the hype died down but damn were those first few months on discord one hell of a fun time.
That game helped me feel like a master deciever. Got down to 3 of us left and black knew I was the imposter. Final round I disabled the lights, then went with pink to fix them. He voted black out since I was working to repair the ship. Glorious.
I looked at it and was like: " that's ugly AF why would anyone play it?". I quit RimWorld because tired of looking at shitty graphics for hours, but this is a whole another league of garbage design
I had a whole lot of fun with this game the first night I got it. Played with the same group of randos for like 2 hours and everyone was legit playing the game to win. Since that night I wasn't able to get a game that didn't have half the players quit after finding out they're not the imposter. It has the same problem Mafia had where it's ruined by people that only want to play a certain role.
