I played this game in 2018. Don't remember anything at all, but i played it in 2018.
I enjoy this game, it's fun to try and deceive your friends, get away with kills and lie on the spot.
But that's just kind of it. There's not really much to it all, it's really just a party game. A bit more fleshed out than a jackbox minigame, more memorable than a ragdoll beat em up, but that's kind of it.
You could argue that's all it ever should be, but the fact that there's barely any new content ever for it doesn't really make me come back top this often.
It's a good game, just not really something I'm queuing up in public lobbies for. Only for when I'm with friends and we are like, REALLY bored.

The cultural impact of this game is insane. But I guess something during the covid pandemic was going to have to do it, and it was this one.
In all seriousness it's nice to see social deduction game get popular. Although it hasn't really resulted in more social deduction games or at least not deeper ones. Most games did add a social deduction game mode but that was it (and most of the time they had just as much depth as Among Us, if not sometimes less.), never really fleshed out into something more. Which sucks, I would love to see a game take a serious attempt to enhance or expand the genre.

This game has done irreparable damage to the internet, but at least it's understandable why. Despite launching in 2018, it only really caught the internet off-guard in the following year. The fact that it was mostly free and available on mobile made it even more popular. As such, it was inevitable that everyone would try it at least once, and it was no different for me.
This is a social deception game, and as such, I very much recommend playing it with friends over random people. I won't explain how the gameplay goes, everyone knows it. There's no story too so that makes it even easier. The whole gameplay loop is fun but can get repetitive very quick, especially with the low amount of maps and extra gimmicks they've added over the years. Even then, while not as popular as it once was, this game is still played a lot and is still relevant to internet culture.
It's a good game, that's undeniable. But it gets samey, and a lot of times you won't have a good time playing it with randoms. It's still a go-to pick for a game to play with friends every now and then, but I think I had enough.
SCORE: 7/10
