Editor's Review

Among Us is a fun online game where you play with friends or other players. You are on a spaceship with a crew. Most players are crewmates. One or more players are impostors. The crewmates must finish tasks to keep the ship running. The impostors must secretly kill the crewmates and sabotage the ship. The game is about talking and finding out who is lying. After a dead body is reported or an emergency meeting is called, everyone talks and votes. They decide who to throw out of the airlock. If the crew votes out all impostors, they win. If the impostors kill enough crewmates, they win.

Getting started is very easy. You download the game and open it. You can join a public online game or create a private one for friends. The controls are simple. You use a joystick to move your character. You tap buttons to do tasks, report bodies, or call meetings. The game explains the basic rules quickly. The main screen lets you choose to play online, locally, or freeplay to practice tasks. The game interface is clean with a map, task list, and chat button. The chat is where the real game happens, as players argue and defend themselves.

The key mechanic is deception. As a crewmate, you must watch other players and complete your tasks. As an impostor, you can move through vents to travel quickly, sabotage the ship to cause chaos, and kill crewmates when no one is looking. You must act normal and lie in chat. The game has in-app purchases. You can buy pets, hats, and skins for your character with real money. These are just for looks and do not affect gameplay. The game shows ads, usually short video ads you can choose to watch for free cosmetics. Among Us is available to play on both the Google Play Store for Android phones and the Apple App Store for iPhones and iPads.
