    The game keeps kicking me out saying I don’t have the latest version, but I do. It also takes forever to find a game.

When you do get in you’re stuck in the little spaceship for way to long while other people try to find the game. And then you can get kicked out still for “not having the most recent version”. Paying $5 for this game is too much. Plus you have to have Nintendo Switch Online which is dumb. The people are rude on it as well. Getting into the game and then demanding you switch the parameters. This game is terrible.… Expand

    Don't buy it. I bought the Nintendo Switch version. The first time I started it, it created an account that I can't delete or change. I accidentally ticked the wrong birth year and online play is over. The birthdate cannot be changed, the game has activated parental control and requires email verification and my credit card number in order to charge $0.30. Are you kidding me? What's worse,Don't buy it. I bought the Nintendo Switch version. The first time I started it, it created an account that I can't delete or change.

    The game gets boring very quickly. The tasks are repetitive. Most of the time you "discuss". Actually, you exchange mini-words and vote. So most of the time you are waiting. Be it during votes or in the booth before the game starts. The game is massively overhyped!

    Latest update screwed up the game with wheel chat. Sadly it's unplayable now, just got the game on PC thought that maybe they only ruined mobile game but alas they did same with PC version. But they have a "good" reason do get to your data now, with the account system.

    So many people are hyped for a casual mobile game, which gameplay is repetive and bores quickly. I may understand that the developers tried and even cried with happiness when their game received the title of "best mobile game of 2020", even though it was released in 2018. But still, this game is overrated, and it became popular because the streamers promoted it.

    Guys, I love indie games. By indie games I mean good ones like Hades or Forgotten Anne. Not this meme material **** And many people are worshipping Among Us as the best game of 2020. I played this game for a few days and it was dissapointment. There are so many cheaters here. The whole gameplay is nothing but just a guess game. I expected a good detective story, but instead we got oversimplified version of Werewolf.    … Expand

    Innersloth 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.    … Expand

    We needed an experience like Among Us to cope with the events of the previous year, and its emergent possibilities ensure that we'll continue to enjoy it for many months or years to come. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 26]

    If you want nothing more than a party snack, this is it – especially with the cross-platform gaming. But in the long run it lacks variety.

    Among Us is a superb multiplayer game that is great on Nintendo Switch. It's easy to pick up, but difficult to put down.
