What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
June 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $1.24. 66 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 66 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The nearest things to it, Unfortunate Spacemen (free, scores 65) and Feign ($4.99, scores 74), are both worse buys on this math.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 32,688 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, finite spend); the score docks it lightly for that.

What players say
Can be played on any pc and gets as much fps as ur refresh rate has (expect ur pc is a literal potato)
The gameplay is simple, but somehow every round turns into a full courtroom drama. One minute you're doing tasks, the next you're defending yourself against three people who have collectively decided you look suspicious. The addition of more roles is constantly making the game better. Adding proximity chat as well makes it twice as fun in my opinion. 10/10 would get falsely accused again
YA ITS FINE AND GOOD AND ENJOYABLE BUT THE PLAYERS ARE TOXIC AF ... and that makes me toxic ... play wise, not like- verbally abusive or saying evil things kind of toxic Strategy wise... I become the devil. I will facilitate my own demise to get revenge on an imposter... a rude crewmate... anyone who would cross me. I loved this game during covid when it first came out, and it was simple and fun back then. It still...

Among Us scores 80/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/945360/among-usThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 10, price as of Sep 24.
A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
