How do you feel about Among Us?

Definitely not since it's about figuring out who's the "bad guy" out of a group of people. It looks like the minimum is 4 players.
I haven't played it. I most likely won't play it. It's another game trend that will pass me by with just kind of a eyebrow raise and a shrug.
Honestly it makes me a bit wistful for when I played a lot of TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town) which is a Garry's Mod based version of Mafia that is more fully fleshed out and came out 10 years ago. I do enjoy the simplicity of Among Us, which makes it nice for popping in for a few games, especially the option to join on my phone.
It's hilarious. I've gotten several large groups together to play it, and had lots of good times. Though when someone actually gets angry, it certainly can ruin the fun.
Love to play with friends, not intereseted in playing with strangers. Even from the first session I felt that it has a limited shelf life, since at some point we will all start knowing well how others in the group play. But it's been so far always hilarious.
It looks interesting... if you have friends. So I have to rely on streams to have some good laughs.
None of those options really describes how I feel. I wouldn't call the game amazing, but it is pretty good. I don't play it everyday, but I'd certainly be up for playing it every now and then.
So I picked Meh. Seemed the closest to how I feel.

Fun for a few rounds occasionally. In the poll I would fall between amazing and meh. I just think it's good.
We had fun with it for a few hours and we never went back to it. To me it's far too repetitive and there's not enough tools given to any of the roles to make for an interesting experience in the long run. It's not bad though, it was an enjoyable experience but not one i really want to go back to.
Yeeeeee, was about to say the same. TTT is probably my favorite "version" of these types of Hidden Role games but Among Us being the big thing right now absolutely is great for scratching that itch again. I loved TTT and this is just another good one for the pile (I also enjoy the hidden role tabletop games but obviously harder to do when many of your friends are all over the internet or around the world).
Definitely a very novel and fun concept. It's not often a game appears where the whole way to win is to be able to talk and lie to other real people.
But, you spend around 80% of games as a crewman doing menial tasks, and the crewman role is nowhere near fun enough to sustain that much time.

Being a crewmate becomes a blast if you play with people you know and a voice chat. You can now argue more easily and basically try to act like a detective. You have to find a balance between doing your task but not seeing much of what's going on and watching people (/cams) but appearing suspicious.
If you are playing with randos, yeah it's pretty uninteresting
Is there a difference in the game? Like levels missing or things behind a paywall?
I havent noticed any difference. There is a 5 second ad after every match. I find myself playing the mobile version more often unless I'm playing with friends.
My girlfriend who is a remote teacher has been playing it with her students on Friday as an incentive to turn all their assignments in on time.
That said, her students are ECSTATIC to play it with her on fridays and she's seen a significant improvement on her submission rate because of it lol.

The one thread where if the title began with "Am I alone or..." would have made me laugh instead of cringe. Missed opportunity, oh well. My kid has been playing a Roblox knockoff of it, without the sudden un-micings in angst.
I used to love TTT, but i do find that amoung us having a focus on tasks encourages people to actually spread out and stay silent.
Alot of TTT can devolve into people just staying together in places not doing anything. Of course everyone having the ability to shoot and kill each other by accident can change that, but sometimes you get annoying groups of people
Never tried to play with someone in the same room, but it must be crazy haha
I wonder if it feels like Poker and the crewmates try to figure out facial expressions to spot the impostor...
I LOOOOVE watching people play it, but I've never played it since multiplayer games are not my thing. I think is a really fun game to watch people play, it's hilarious.
I personally love it because I play with my core group of friends. Most of them are not (video)gamers, but we do enjoy play The Resistance board games a lot, and well Among Us is kinda that but online.
Me moving out of my hometowm due to a job + Pandemic was the perfect set of conditions for us to play this game.

Very entertaining game to watch stream. Don't have much desire to get a group together myself though.
