    Es un excelente juego de Deducción Social del que ya se habló de lo bueno que es.
    Las únicas cosas que no me gustan del juego son su poco contenido(respecto a cosméticos, mapas,etc), y
    sus inestables servidores(es comprensible debido a que el juego no esperaba tener tanto éxito y popularidad).
    Pero eso no le quita lo excelente y divertido del juego.

    I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.

    I absolutely adore this game. If you .play this game with 9 other friends on Discord it's the best experience you can have playing a game. It's better than Uno, monopoly and Mario Party

    the game is really fun to play especially when you're playing with friends.
    one of my friends said that it would be good to customize the way you kill the crewmates

    A great game, have everything necessary to be different a the rest, it's an example that the graphics is not the principal thing that every creator need focus, is how entertaining the game could be

    A friend of mine gifted me copy of Among Us to try out. It is essentially an online whodunnit party game, and I personally quite like the whodunnit genre. It is a solid game that is also cheap, but is catered for a specific audience: players who can use voice chat and have friends to play with.

    If you play the game relying solely on text chat, you will probably get bored after a while
    A friend of mine gifted me copy of Among Us to try out. It is essentially an online whodunnit party game, and I personally quite like the whodunnit genre. It is a solid game that is also cheap, but is catered for a specific audience: players who can use voice chat and have friends to play with.

    If you play the game relying solely on text chat, you will probably get bored after a while if you are not often the impostor (the killer). The reason for that is, as a crewmate, all you do is go around fulfilling tasks and hoping you don't die. These tasks can get mundane after a while, and unlike the impostor, you aren't working your brain out to try to figure out intelligent ways to assassinate people.

    One thing that really bothered me is that if you host a server, it's bound to die after 1-2 matches. By that, I mean that no new players join. It's probably because of how the game handles the servers: they do not reset and bump old servers back to the top of the server list. This is an annoying inconvenience that could've been easily rectified by the developers.

    For a casual party game that only costs $5, Among Us is a bargain. But don't set your expectations too high. It is priced that much for a reason, and it is not meant to be played for long sessions. It's not that special of a game, and it feels like it only got popular because it is piggybacking off the recent hype behind Fall Guys, another online party game.

    In essence, if you are not part of the target audience for this game, it is probably not worth playing. It won't be nearly as exciting or engaging to play.

    Divertido para jugar con amigos, aunque es un tanto limitado respecto a contenido en el juego

    Es de lo más divertido jugando con amigos y lo es aún jugando con randoms, le falta un poco de contenido pero es entendible en un juego hecho por solo 3 personas

    Solamente es aceptable cuando juegas con muchos amigos y nisiquiera eso lo hace un buen juego ya que 3 partidas y ya te aburres

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un juego básico, solo tres mapas, personajes simples y no muy complicado, y aun así es un juego que logra ser muy entretenido, de alguna manera es un buen juego, proporciona una experiencia con amigos muy increíble, simplemente muy bueno a pesar de ser simple, este es el ejemplo que no ocupas los mejores gráficos para ser el mejor juego.

    Tienes que ser un amargado social o alguien si amigos para odiar este juego

    Solo es bueno cuando jugas con amigos y si son más de 8 por lo menos y no siempre hay 8 para jugar y si juegas con extraños es aburrido.

    Pros -

    Gameplay - Really enjoyable and simplistic allows the game to be understandable for new players, with strategies in place to trick crewmates and find impostors. Would love to see more roles in the next installment similar to Town of Salem (but not as complex as it either). Graphics - Quirky style of drawing / animation / graphics (idk what this classifies as). Maps - Greatly

    Gameplay - Really enjoyable and simplistic allows the game to be understandable for new players, with strategies in place to trick crewmates and find impostors. Would love to see more roles in the next installment similar to Town of Salem (but not as complex as it either).
    Graphics - Quirky style of drawing / animation / graphics (idk what this classifies as).
    Maps - Greatly diverse maps allow for interesting gameplay while not straying too far from what the game is about (Although I would love to see more maps).
    Crossplay - This game is free on mobile and crossplay with PC players.

    The sheer amount of content and updates with merely 3 people making this game amazes me. Although there are more cons than pros, I believe this is truly a great game that is very enjoyable with friends and public lobbies. Highly recommend to play. Can't wait for the 2nd game to come out.

    Cons -

    Matchmaking: The servers are (understandably) really poor due to the current influx of players. Difficulty connecting to lobbies. When joining public lobbies, the players are filled with non-English speakers when in English servers which make it impossible to communicate with one another. Private lobbies having 4-letter codes sometimes have me join a duplicate lobby with the same code (Although I understand they are trying to change this as I am writing this).
    Connectivity: My friends and I have consistently gotten a minimum of 280+ ping. This sort of game I find I don't need low ping, but when it gets to 400-600+ ping, it becomes difficult to play the game. I hope in the next game there are servers available for Oceania to see if it alleviates this connectivity issue.
    Buggy - There are not too many bugs to worry about but the few that are there make it difficult or impossible to play. One being when an impostor vents and a meeting is called as they swap vents, a crewmate will see the impostor enter the vent even though they never left. Another bug has the crewmate report a body right as they get killed. The worst bug I have experienced a couple times is where after the first round everyone but the host's game freezes making the game unplayable (I am unsure of the reason of this bug).
    Toxicity - There is no report system for players being toxic or hacking in the game. I personally have not experienced hackers but I have experienced toxic players who refuse to do tasks and such.

    Among us is a very simple game, but its simplicity is what holds you and makes you play for a long time.
    It uses a concept already known that is about people who have to complete missions and an assassin has to stop them, but the way he does it is what makes him so good.

    Among us is a good game with really good mechanics and game design, but is highly recommended to play with friends

    Fun concept and even better with friends. I'd say it's worth the price and the maps are good, but the online services are terrible at the moment. It can be frustrating to host and join a game, but other than that it's a simple and fun game.

    It's an okay game, its not really a fun game to play by yourself and there isn't much content but it's a decent timewaster when bored and have nothing to do.

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

    Cosmic traitor among you!
    Your task is to find and kill him.
    An interesting idea and graphics, and just feel the style of Henry Stychkmin.
    Simply put, BUY THIS GAME that the Henry Stychkmin Collective turned out to be EXCELLENT!

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

    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?

    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]
