Among Us is a popular multiplayer deduction game that has gained lots of attraction within the past year. There are now four different maps to play on, new updates on the way, and constant tweaking to make the game as smooth as possible. The premise of the game is simple and allows anyone to join in on the fun, but some players have jumped online to state their unpopular opinions about it.
There is no doubt that Among Us is a successful game, but everything is subject to unpopular opinions. Many fans have taken to Reddit to express their less than popular takes on the game.
10 No Progress
The game is repetitive, from having a range from one to three imposters, completing tasks, and catching the killers, there are no new rules to Among Us to keep players on their toes. However, some are saying that there is no progress.
The game is played, imposters or crew either win or lose, and they move onto the next game. One redditor suggested creating levels to the game, or possible points to gain for winning. This could help players gain a better sense of accomplishment.
9 Being Crewmate Is Preferred
Most people play Among Us in hopes of becoming the imposter. However, not everyone enjoys that pressure. Imposters have to be sneaky, lie, and pay a lot of attention to their surroundings. One redditor says they prefer being a crewmate because it’s less stressful for them.
They can still be on the lookout for suspicious movement, but there are no large amounts of pressure during meetings and no reason to lie. Most people would say they enjoy being an imposter, but there are some who prefer being a crew and completing their tasks to help out the team.
8 Swiping The Card In Admin Isn’t Hard
A lot of Among Us memes stem from the classic card swipe task and how hard it is to complete, but not everyone on Reddit thinks the task is difficult. The first few tries are hard, but after that, some are able to find the task simple and can achieve it after the first attempt.
Players comment that the card swipe meme and jokes are overused, and how other tasks are harder to complete, like the safe task. Nonetheless, the popularity of the difficulty of the card swipe overpowers the other hard tasks.
7 Some Of The Killing Animations Are Scary
When a crewmate is killed, an animation appears of them before they die, and some have found it creepier than it should be. While it is only animated characters, one of the animations is the imposter sticking out their tongue, which is very sharp, and it breaks through the crewmate’s helmet.
Some admitted that they find this quite gruesome for a game that is played by children. There is a variety of killing animations, and while some don’t bother to pay attention to it, others are freaked out.
6 Doing Tasks As A Ghost Is Not Worth It
Many people complain about being killed off first, but some players grow bored as the others get to play while they are dead. The game allows the ghosts to still complete their tasks, but some people find it pointless unless the crew is set on a task win.
Many people leave the lobby if they get killed off first. Some suggest giving ghosts different jobs or roles to keep the game exciting for them, but for now, they are stuck waiting for the game to be over.
5 Nothing Stands Out In The Game
There are plenty of murder mystery games out there, and even though Among Us has gained such an audience, some find nothing special about it. Besides the new animation and cute little characters on a spaceship, there have been deception games made like this, such as Town Of Salem or Mafia City.
Some players wanted a creative twist to the game, but unfortunately, there wasn’t enough of a difference to make it stand out for them.
4 Community Is A Hit Or Miss
If a player is joining a random lobby to play, there is a chance that the other people may not mesh well together. However, sometimes some lobbies can click and play well together. There have been some players that leave lobbies because of others, but there are also some that end up sticking around and sorting out a lobby together.
In the same thread, a lot of players say that public lobbies are the worst, especially when they use quick chat instead of voice chat, but others say it just depends. The community is important, and each lobby contains people from all around, which means a wonderful lobby can’t be guaranteed.
3 There Should Be Timeout Bans
A lot of times players will leave the game if they end up being crewmate. This happens so often that it makes the imposter get an easy win.
One person suggested creating timeout bans so players won’t only join lobbies to be an imposter. Some think the ban should be a few minutes, while others suggest longer. Some say this will help with keeping players in the game and make the lobbies last.
2 Lots Of Accessibility
In the same thread, it’s argued that the game is simple enough to learn quickly. There are not necessarily certain skills players need to have. Tasks are easy to understand, imposters can kill in any way they want, and players are able to join public lobbies.
While some want more difficulty in the game, some appreciate how simple it is to teach their friends to play. It is also an accessible game to play on mobile, meaning even more people can play who only have a phone. Some people say the rise of the game came at the perfect time when everyone was inside, and it was a great way to connect with others, whether it’s getting on a call with friends or meeting new people.
1 Can Cause Some Minor Fights
Lots of people play the game with a group of known friends, but the concept of lying and trying to win can reveal sides of people that others didn’t know before. Some can get so into Among Us that arguments and bickering can arise.
Even in public lobbies, there are some players who can get upset when nobody believes them or votes them out. It’s only a game, but sometimes players and friends can get so into it that they forget. There usually aren’t too many fights, but it can show different sides to people and see how good of a liar they are.
