  • gameplay481 mentions

    Gameplay in this game is generally praised for its fun and engaging mechanics, offering a unique blend of strategy and social interaction reminiscent of classic murder mystery games. However, many players report significant issues with bugs, connectivity problems, and frustrating mechanics that detract from the overall experience, particularly on mobile devices. While the core gameplay is enjoyable and easy to pick up, the frequent glitches and server issues can lead to a frustrating experience, especially when playing with friends.

    • “It's a really fun game to play; the game mechanics and grind system are enjoyable.”
    • “The gameplay is great, the art style is charming, and really the only complaints about the game I have aren't in control of the developers and are just toxic people being toxic online.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and intense, which I think is good.”
    • “Gameplay itself is very fun, but it is buggy on mobile, lots of black screen hangs and really long loads.”
    • “I downloaded this game after a year in the hopes of getting a better gameplay experience only to realize that the game is forever stuck on the loading screen.”
    • “The new update just sucks; it is very difficult to find a lobby and the gameplay is just beyond my imagination. The screen half blacked out when I started playing the game.”
  • graphics391 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the cute and simplistic art style that enhances the overall gameplay experience. However, some users report issues with glitches, lag, and a decline in visual quality over time, which detracts from their enjoyment. Overall, while the graphics are generally considered charming and fitting for the game's concept, there are calls for improvements and updates to address technical issues.

  • monetization343 mentions

    The monetization aspect of "Among Us" has received mixed feedback from users. Many players appreciate the absence of intrusive ads during gameplay, noting that ads typically appear only at the end of matches and are often short and skippable. However, some users express frustration over the increasing length of ads, particularly the recent introduction of 30-second ads, which can disrupt gameplay and lead to disconnections. In-app purchases are primarily for cosmetic items, and while some players are willing to pay to remove ads, others feel that the current ad experience is manageable despite occasional glitches.

    • “It's a great game, no ads or anything. You can earn rewards from playing games and buy things on the app like pets, hats, and skins, and the game is very fun.”
    • “Overall, this is a really quality game with no ads; it is great fun!”
    • “I love the game; it's so fun! Also, I love that it has no ads at all. Thank you so much for making Among Us!”
    • “Paid to remove ads, I log in now with the game obviously updated on a new model and my account was wiped with nothing...? Paid users shouldn't lose things.”
    • “My problem is the new 30 sec ads on the free mobile version makes it to where I get kicked from lobbies because the game will start while I'm stuck watching an ad.”
    • “I didn't really mind the ads, but sometimes I would get ads and I wouldn't be able to close them, so I would have to restart the whole game, which sucks because it's hard to find a good lobby sometimes.”
  • humor68 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players finding it hilarious and entertaining, especially when playing with friends. Many reviews highlight the funny interactions, quirky graphics, and amusing kill animations that contribute to a lighthearted atmosphere, making it a great choice for casual play.

    • “This game is hilarious and fun!”
    • “It's super fun to play, and whenever I play with friends it's hilarious when one of us is the imposter.”

  • story53 mentions

Suggestions for improvement include better optimization for lower-end devices, a low-performance mode, and addressing bugs that disrupt gameplay, particularly during critical moments like emergency meetings. Despite some positive feedback on performance, the consensus is that the game requires substantial optimization to enhance the overall user experience.

    • “The game runs smoothly, easy graphics, nothing too crazy.”

  • replayability19 mentions

    Overall, the game is praised for its high replayability, particularly as a party game with engaging mechanics and a fun atmosphere.

Despite some frustrations with glitches and gameplay changes, the overall sentiment remains positive, emphasizing the game's ability to evoke strong emotions and foster connections.
