The Best Games Like Among Us

Among Us came down like a bolt out of a clear sky to save people stuck at home during the COVID-19 lockdown. Thanks to its social deduction gameplay features, AU allowed the players to play the online version of Cluedo, guessing who is the imposter among the crew through careful questioning and general distrust. Social deduction-focused gameplay features can also be found in other games, and in this article, we are going to look at the best games like Among Us.

Among Us? Social deduction game?

Ah, yes. Some of you might not know what Among Us is all about. Allow us a second to explain. In Among Us, each player controls a different member of a spaceship crew, responsible for maintaining the vessel's systems during a deep space voyage. One of the players is an imposter - an alien creature whose task is to eliminate other players and take over the ship.

Herein comes the social deduction mechanic. Other players must find out who is the culprit by convincing one another that they aren't the imposter. The game is known for driving a wedge between friends, whose bonds are shattered, leaving only mutual distrust. We're joking, of course, but players who get upset by betrayal or just can't lie should approach the game with caution.
