7/10
There's an imposter among us!
20 February 2022
This game was super popular back in late 2020-early 2021. Everyone was playing it. And there were lots of fanart, fan animations, gameplays and memes about it online during that period. I got the chance to play it back in January 2021 and what can I say? It's not a bad game.

It's a modern version of a popular card game mafia where we have crewmates that have to do tasks and solve a mystery. But the mystery is about an imposter and who exactly it is. The goal of the imposter is to sabotage the spaceship and kill others. But they need to be careful, because if they get caught, they will lose and crewmates win. The graphics are simple but well done. Each character looks like a funny colorful bean that is similar to the minions in despicable me, which makes the customization easy. There are also hats, suits and pets, which players can purchase in a store, though that requires real money. But no need to worry, there's plenty of free hats to you can wear to distinguish yourself from others. The gameplay is fun, because of it's unpredictability. Unless your the one who is the killer, you don't know who is it. But you can find evidence like dead bodies or vents or fake tasks, to make sure that they are sus (short version of the word suspicious). I enjoyed playing this game a lot during the first half of the previous year. However, sooner or later, you'll get tired of playing the game. Because most tasks would repeat over and over again, which will make the game seem more boring, especially if you are a crewmate. And the chances of getting the imposter is pretty low, so if you are one, consider yourself lucky.

Since Among us is an online game, it will include online interaction like chat. And there are lots of people who play the game. As a result, some of them can get on your nerves. Some only play the game just to find a girlfriend or a boyfriend, some would insult others and use swear words, some would have inappropriate nicknames and even some of them would leave the game because they got the crewmate role ten times in a row. But others are actually nice and play the game fair, by respecting others and even helping by doing tasks when you are a ghost in it. So it also depends on the players on how the game will go, smoothly or horribly. I will recommend this game, even though there is a big chance that you already did. Have fun!
