The value story
The value story
67 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 30 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
Its score puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The nearest things to it, Unfortunate Spacemen (free, scores 65) and Among Us 3D: VR ($9.99, scores 32), are both worse buys on this math.

What players say
The ultimate test of friendship and trust ! The gameplay is pretty average but honestly, dressing up your character in cute outfits is the best part of it 👩🚀💅🏼

Really good game, honestly I have too many hours in this game. It's simple but every game is different so it has a lot of play-value, great for playing with friends and just a lot of fun. :)
I played this game thinking I can be a master debater and manipulator, but the lobby just randomly decided 3 seconds in the game to vote red, I punched a hole in my wall through my monitor. This ain't chess its racism.

Among Us scores 80/100 on the BANG Score (worth it) as of Nov 8, 2026. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/945360/among-usReviews set the ceiling, and the size of the player base moves the BANG Score inside it. How it works, and where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Nov 3, price as of Nov 7. A number here look wrong? Tell me and I will check the inputs.
