Our last game Super Mario Galaxy scored a 4.71, enough to qualify it for the top 10! Can our next game match that same success?

*Gif of me picking out among us*

Well, let's see. This week we land on a gaming staple of 2020. Let's take a trip back to the days of COVID and depression. It's Among Us.... the game! Inner Sloth did what it could to deliver a cool game for $5 bucks! How did they do in your eyes? Does it deserve its place among the stars? Share what you're thinking and we'll see you next week!

I dont like it. Its fundamentally a board game you play digitally and thats why i think during covid it hit so well. Take lockdowns away and this never takes off

[screech]

I liked it at first. Playing with friends was super fun.

Then they changed the chat function from a text box to a wheel of preloaded responses. I get why (because there was a bunch of racist shit in every chat) but if you didn't figure out the wheel and answer fast enough, everyone just assumed you were the imposter and voted you out.

So I'll give it a 3. Had some fun times before the whole thing switched up and became way less fun.

This is true, too. I think there's definitely a niche for it, but celebrities probably wouldn't be streaming it on Twitch (I think Felicia Day still does?) without COVID keeping everyone at home in 2020.

My 5 is pretty generous as this game needs some extra help from modding in voice chat or using discord to make this remotely playable.

I did really like playing though, but it does cause heated arguments between friends, and not getting imposter 10+ times in a row is boringgg so for those reasons I should probably lower my score but I won't because of the amount of fun I did have with it when it was good.

[Lock Jaw]

Never played it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Gave it a 2.

Played a total of 2-3 games at most but Among Us ended up being the type of game where I enjoyed way more watching videos of others playing and goofing around than actually playing the game myself.

My nephew enjoyed playing this game a ton during the pandemic before he got bored or moved on to other games.

[ClockShot]

Never played.

[Big Vic]

Among Us scores a 2.75!

[Destor]

A bit over-rated but not too over-rated

[M-A-G]

Well, the boards seem to be doing better than usual. Do I dare return to this next week?

[Destor]

Wait.. WAS BIG VIC AN IMPOSTER ALL ALONG??????

[M-A-G]

He sabotaged the server then snapped the neck of whoever was trying to fix it.
