Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 12, 2026)

Played with a group of friends, Among Us is amazing, say 129 reviews, and its 752,530 Steam reviews put it at 83.2.

👍 Strengths

Gameplay ranks 168th of 1396. 96 reviews enjoy it when bored or needing to blow off steam, and 12 credit the developers with additions that keep it worth playing. Tech & Support ranks 241st of 1399. Players also enjoy the detective work and deception at the heart of each round, and the smooth cartoon visuals. Content Volume ranks 353rd of 1351, and a few players praise rounds that test real detective skill.

👎 Where it falls short

Public lobbies are the problem. 61 reviews describe a toxic community, the most upvoted citing harassment, hackers and slurs, with reports ignored. 19 say matchmaking ignores skill and creates lopsided lobbies, and others describe heavy lag and disconnects. Pricing & Fairness ranks 983rd of 1399, and some wish for built in voice chat to play with friends.
