 Among Us is free on mobile and just $4 on PC. Although the hype has died down a bit, it's still a popular game in 2021. Let's start with the gameplay itself. Among Us has basic gameplay one or two imposters for 10 crew members since the start of the game. Both roles are fun to play, but crewmate does get boring and repetitive after a month of play. Even after airship is introduced, it's already gone boring within a month of the update. Many still play mainly because their friends do. I tried playing solo once and it's just not as fun. Playing solo in other games is totally playable because you have voice chat as well as ranked play. And Among Us, a game where voice chat is the reason why it's so popular, solo doesn't have that. That's why it's so boring playing solo. With friends it's one of the best games however because it requires a lot of teamwork and it's just as fun playing the imposter. It's fun to see how your friends react in high pressure situations and try capping their way through. Half the time solo people just say where and who. When one of your friends start playing, you're likely to start playing as well. And I think that's what happened to Among Us in 2021. It went down in popularity when a group of players found it boring and repetitive. This caused the domino effect where now it's not half as popular as it once was in 2020. Yes, the new maps like airship has some unique features and some new tasks but eventually people will get tired of this game like most games. I think if Entraslav added voice chat they can make it peak or even exceed its players in 2020. Just a simple option would make it so much more enjoyable because it's not only about finding who the imposter is, it's also entertaining to see how they react which makes it a whole lot more fun and easier. Another thing I would like them to add are harder tasks and more tasks. I would like to see the test change and rotate as well as make them harder. I don't feel like you're really escaping anything if half the time you're just dragging a buyer. I did hear that they would be increasing the player count up to 15 and I'm actually really excited for that. Just because there hasn't been a huge change to the core gameplay in forever. I would also like more game modes. It's all just a simple imposter and crewmates. I feel like they could stick with the theme of escaping but put a twist to it. Most youtubers at Among Us peak loved it but after more and more leave just again makes a domino effect and many only play it once in a while. After uploading an Among Us video more than like 10 times it does start to get repetitive even with other youtubers. So in 2021 Among Us is certainly not dead. I feel like with voice chat and friends it's one of the best games you can play for absolutely free. Without friends it's just really boring but with voice chat in public games I think this game could go crazy. I would say why not try it even for solo players because it's literally free or only $4.99 on PC and it's really not a bad game if you just want to pass time even while just playing solo.
