Among Us lives up to the hype created by its delayed explosion in popularity, for the most part. It's a style of intense, refreshing multiplayer experience that simply didn't catch on digitally before recently. Its well-earned following speaks to just how enticing murdering and deceiving your friends can be, as well as Innersloth's endearing art, approachability, and clever minigame design. I don't have any sus that this will be the last game of its breed to make a splash, since we’re already seeing its influence on even mega-games like Fortnite. But it’s the breakout hit for the genre, and it's a great first impression.

Among Us is free on mobile devices. If you're buying this for your child, just download it on a phone or tablet. This is another one of those "make the price of the game the same as a full PS5 game and trick parents into paying for it if they don't realize it's free elsewhere" kind of deals, ala what fortnite has being doing for the last few years. Pretty much a scam tbh.

Got this for kids as they already played it on mobile, so we had to get it when it came out on the switch!It's good fun but doesn't have much replay value IMO, it's a pretty straightforward game and hence the low price. If you haven't played it yet, I'd recommend to download it first for free on mobile to see if you like it.
