Among Us

A clever take on the "whodunnit" genre while a tapping into what makes meme culture so relevant and universal

Not all of the gameplay translates perfectly to the DualSense, as it’s clearly been designed around either touchscreens or mouse-and-keyboards. It’s not a big deal, though, and once you find a good lobby with a friendly group this is one of the better party games you’ll find on the PS5. It’s just finding said people can be a bit of an exercise in trial-and-error, so be aware that you will be at the mercy of the release’s unchecked community unless you have a guaranteed group of pals to play with.

Among Us is an instantly accessible and super-addictive casual gaming experience that serves up some hilarious whodunnit hijinks in short bursts that are perfectly suited to portable play. There are a few niggles here with regards to controls that make communication fussier than it really needs to be, but this is a fine port that finally enables Switch gamers to jump in and see what all the fuss is about with this most unlikely of gaming sensations.

Finally making its way onto PlayStation, Among Us is still the very best that the social deduction genre has to offer. Using some inventive workarounds to support controllers, this game loses little to nothing in the port away from its natural home on phones and tablets. With a group of strangers, it’s easy to have a great time with this game. With friends, Among Us comes alive in one of the best multiplayer experiences on the market today as you attempt to stab your pals in the back. Both figuratively and literally.

We applaud the devs for realizing the potential of the game mode and we look forward to seeing how its official launch will modify it yet again. Inner Sloth aren’t stopping there when it comes to updates. As well as releasing new maps over the last year, at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase they revealed an increased lobby size of 15, new characters, as well as the delightful opportunity to honk the horn of the airship

Among us is a nice cooperative fun. It requires a combination of your gaming skills and you must be able to communicate with others, read between the lines, think logically and lie perfectly. We really appreciate the novel idea for this computer game, however, we cannot forgive the developers for neglecting this game. It could still be at the height of its glory if they had taken more care of it, as we have seen new content very late. Also, we don't recommend playing without friends you get to know, as it's not the best experience without them. We also appreciate the work of the community, they help keep this game going through various parodies, songs, fanart, and even movies. Among Us is highly recommended, but again we put it on your heart to never play it alone, just have a few friends.

Everything runs smoothly, the online connectivity works surprisingly well for a Switch game, and even the lack of a Switch keyboard can be mitigated by playing the game on handheld mode. All in all, it’s a competent port to probably the only console Among Us makes sense to be on.

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

The sleeper hit of 2020, Among Us, hits the Nintendo Switch for even more party fun.

Among Us is a game made for those who have a lot of online friends or followers. If you don't fit that description then you can have fun but will more than likely get irritated while playing with random players who obviously have no idea what they're doing.
