Among Us is free on Android and iOS, and it’s only $5 on Steam. Among Us is a simple game that anyone can pick up and play, and with people spending more time than ever inside, a worthy replacement for simple tabletop games. Whenever someone finds a body or calls an emergency meeting, your group has a chance to talk and vote someone out. The imposter’s job is to stealthily move around, killing off crewmembers in isolation while sabotaging different rooms on the map.
The kicker, though, is that there’s at least one imposter among the crewmembers. For crewmembers, the goal is simple: Complete all of your tasks, and your team wins. You play as a crewmember with a list of short tasks to complete, including dumping trash, diverting power, and uploading files. If for some reason, you haven’t heard of Among Us, it’s a social deduction game for up to 10 players. Now it’s one of the most popular games on Steam, peaking with nearly 500,000 concurrent players. With the class system, each squad member has a role to play in combat, encouraging parties to communicate and work together to win.Īmong Us was released in 2018 and for the majority of its life, it drew around 500 to 1,000 players a day on Steam. Each class regains health by performing a different action (the Trickster class, for example, regains health from getting close-range kills). On top of that, Outriders has four unique classes.
That makes it easy for friends to drop in regardless of their level. The world tier system in the game allows you to adjust your difficulty, and you can drop into any story point from the home screen. Although you can play through Outriders alone, it’s best with friends. All of these systems combine to create one of the most frantic shooters of recent memory, with the core gameplay looped backed up by RPG elements and exciting loot. Outriders brings together several elements from the studio’s previous games, combining a Gears of War cover system with Bulletstorm abilities and a Destiny 2-like loot system. It comes from developer People Can Fly, known for its work on Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgement. It Takes Two is co-op done right, and it shows just how powerful a cooperative experience can be when it’s built for two people. Each character has access to a new ability with each level, forcing players to work together to progress the story. True to the name, every puzzle and enemy encounter takes two people to beat. Still, It Takes Two stands out with its gameplay. The story is touching, and it isn’t afraid to dive into the darker parts of its subject matter. From there, it’s up to you and a teammate to make your way back to the house and, hopefully, fix your marriage in the process. The couple’s daughter cries on dolls she made, transforming them into miniature knitted creatures. It Takes Two follows a struggling couple as they deal with an impending divorce. It Takes Two is the latest from Hazelight Studios, which made a name for itself with exclusively co-op experiences like A Way Out and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The studio’s latest attempt is its best, and that’s saying something.
