    I love this game, I really do, but the lack of moderation has ruined it for me. 1/3 lobbies I join I get sexually harassed in chat 1/4 lobbies have hackers, 1/3 lobbies people are calling others slurs. I've stopped reporting people because it doesn't do anything, there's more of them in the next lobby. There's honestly no point playing this game anymore unless you have a large group of friends to play with.

    As crazy as it may sound, this game stopped me from bed-rotting during the pandemic. My father had just passed away and getting out of bed became an extremely difficult task when I didn't even want to wake up. It's silly, but sometimes it just takes something really silly for existence to hurt a little less. And, if the digital version of Mafia helps your world feel lighter, then so be it.

    Among us is another one of those make-or-break friendships. I'm not surprised at how big this game blew up, with it's simple mafia game set-up. But how the memes and words like "sus" came out of it was a surprise to me. It's easy to get into, and splits low-skill floor and high-skill floor experience of players so you'll enjoy it whether as a casual player or as a competitive player! The 2 main things I like about …

    This game is really peak and almost never gets old. Sadly the player base is mostly dumb rather than skilled. Public lobbies are almost always a complete failure because of this one crew are who sells the whole game. Especially in expert tagged lobbies are more low lvl players than high lvl players. Still a really good game and I recommend it to anyone

Players who liked Among Us talk about great for playing with friends in private groups; those who didn't talk about public lobbies are full of braindead or toxic players. Which matters more to you?

Critics, per Wikipedia

Among Us was well received by critics. On the aggregator website Metacritic, the PC port received a 85 of 100 score based on 9 critic reviews, while the Nintendo Switch version received a 79 of 100 score based on 9 critic reviews, both them indicating "generally favorable reviews". It was also considered one of the "Best PC Games for 2018", being ranked 17th, and as the "#38 Best Discussed PC Game of 2018". Since December 2020, IGN considered it one of 2020's best reviewed games so far. Elliott Osange of Bonus Stage considered that the game is "silly fun", but felt that it is more fun "to be an Impostor". Craig Pearson of Rock, Paper, Shotgun had the same opinion, found playing as an…

    By complete coincidence, a sample comic from WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase appears to be notably close in its plot to popular online game Among Us, featuring an imposter among astronauts and the verbatim use of the phrase "among us", a decade before that game was released.

Anti-Cheat is abysmal / non-existent.
