Among Us is a brilliant multiplayer experience and one that’s sorely needed given the current climate. While I wouldn’t recommend playing this against randoms online, if you can gather nine friends and set up a voice chat, then you’re guaranteed one of the best gaming experiences of 2020.
Among Us is a superb multiplayer game that is great on Nintendo Switch. It's easy to pick up, but difficult to put down.
We needed an experience like Among Us to cope with the events of the previous year, and its emergent possibilities ensure that we'll continue to enjoy it for many months or years to come. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 26]
A good port of an excellent game that works perfectly despite requiring a Nintendo Switch Online subscription and isn't missing anything that the mobile or PC version doesn't already have.
Flaws aside, Among Us is a clever game that deserves its time in the spotlight. It works a surprisingly complex concept into a simple and accessible package where matches are quick, fun, usually hilarious, and sometimes even intense.
Among Us is an instantly accessible and super-addictive casual gaming experience that serves up some hilarious whodunnit hijinks in short bursts that are perfectly suited to portable play. There are a few niggles here with regards to controls that make communication fussier than it really needs to be, but this is a fine port that finally enables Switch gamers to jump in and see what all the fuss is about with this most unlikely of gaming sensations.
If you want nothing more than a party snack, this is it – especially with the cross-platform gaming. But in the long run it lacks variety.
