Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

Anyone looking to get into Among Us can do so for free on mobile devices, but the wildly popular multiplayer game is better played on PC.

Although it released over two years ago, Among Us exploded in popularity in 2020 thanks to the game becoming popular with major Twitch streamers. After the surge in popularity, Among Us sequel plans were quickly canned in favor of continued support for the original. Part of the reason for the game's recent explosion in players can be attributed to the low cost of entry. Playing Among Us on PC and Nintendo Switch is rather cheap, only costing $5, which will presumably be the price on Xbox as well when it comes to that platform later this year. Almost anyone with a tablet or smartphone can play Among Us at no cost, though, since the game is free to download from the App Store and Google Play Store (although it will have ads).

The accessibility of Among Us has helped it become an easy game to play with groups of friends or relatives, which most would argue is the definitive experience, as opposed to playing with strangers in a public lobby. Among Us is a digital hidden role game, a genre that is fairly popular with tabletop card games such as Werewolf and Coup. The genre revolves around an uninformed majority attempting to determine the identity or identities of an informed minority. In Among Us, this gameplay structure takes place in a number of sci-fi locales such as space stations and players, must determine who the Crewmate-killing Impostor(s) is.

Although Among Us being free for mobile devices makes it easily accessible, it also comes with a caveat that is detrimental to the hidden role game type: there's no in-game voice chat. PC has the luxury of other applications fixing this problem (not to mention PC has Among Us mods as well). When playing with friends, just invite everyone to a Discord chat and make sure people are silent or muted when outside of the game's intended discussions. This is possibly the reason the hidden role genre hasn't seen much success in the video game medium. The way the game operates and how it's dependent on player discussion makes it easy to play in person, but difficult to translate into a video game.

Among Us Is Best Played On PC

This advantage in the PC version of the game also may contribute to part of the game's surge in popularity. Twitch had a record year in 2020, and Among Us became a very popular game to stream. Popular streamers would group up and play together, attempting to sus out the Impostors in a dDiscord chat. The necessary silence between discussions allowed streamers plenty of time to engage with their audience, voicing their suspicions on who the Impostor might be, or just chatting more than other games might allow.

It seems like everyone has played Among Us at this point - probably because of the fact that the game is free to play on mobile. Gamers on mobile have to deal with some annoying ads, but at least they can hunt for Impostors and complete tasks with their friends for free.

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus Among Us' hats can say a lot about the player that wears them and may influence who dies first. Here's every hat in the game ranked from cute to sus. One of the best ways to appear innocent in Among Us is by dressing for the occasion. While judging someone by their appearance is superficial, it could also be a player's saving grace. This graph will examine every hat in Among Us and rank them according to how cute, boring, silly, and sus they are. In a social deduction game like Among Us, players usually don't have a lot to go off outside of appearances. This becomes even more true for players who primarily play in public lobbies where voice chat isn't an option. A player could be given the benefit of the doubt immediately depending on how they choose to dress. While dressing cute could help an innocent crewmate stay out of the spotlight, it can also allow the Impostor to prey on the unassuming minds of their vic...

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are Among Us' dastardly Impostors terrorize crewmates with various forms of killing and sabotage, and fans have theories about their origins and motives. The Impostors that give Among Us its name and central gameplay hook are, by design, a mysterious bunch. On the surface, they're nearly identical to Among Us' colorful crewmates, but Impostors exhibit certain strange and terrifying properties. Due to the game's lack of overt story, it's unclear what exactly Among Us' Impostors are, but fans have a few compelling theories. Unlike normal crewmates, Impostors have the ability to slink through vents, which - unless crewmates are small enough to do this, too, but simply have no need to - suggests they have some kind of shapeshifting ability. This would also explain Impostors' ability to open up a large mouth at the waist of their spacesuits and stab victims with sharp tongues. It's possible Among Us' crewmates also ha...

Why Among Us 2021 Roadmap Hasnt Released Yet

Why Among Us 2021 Roadmap Hasnt Released Yet A 2021 map for Among Us updates is still missing in action, despite a promise early this year - which may be because predictions are impossible. In a January blog post, Among Us creators InnerSloth promised a content roadmap for 2021. The idea was to "be more transparent" about what features were launching for the social deduction game, and in which order. As of mid-May, however, that roadmap for Among Us still doesn't exist, and given both the time of year and the likely explanation, it may not arrive at all. Among Us first launched in June 2018 as a mobile-only title for iOS and Android, only reaching PCs in November that year. It was largely sidelined until early 2020, when Twitch and YouTube streamers helped shoot it to massive popularity. This resulted in a Nintendo Switch port in December, and plans for both Xbox and PlayStation versions by the end of 2021. In terms of original content, the biggest release so far has been...
