Now, it's among one of the most popular Twitch streams ever. The stream lasted three and a half hours, well beyond its originally intended runtime. We saw that play out in real-time during AOC’s stream yesterday. Just look at similar but more complicated games like Murderous Pursuits that never caught on to see how that's the case.Īmong Us is an approachable experience that anyone can quickly become obsessed with. If it wasn't simple, the game would've never achieved the same level of success. The developers have even acknowledged in an interview with Kotaku Australia that this formula is what made the game eventually catch on with streamers during a year where we are all quarantined away from each other.Īmong Us taps into the same enjoyment that competitive social games like Mafia had, except in a more modern, software-based form. More traditional gameplay happens in short bursts, mainly serving as the catalysts for heated debates and discussions between friends. Players spend most of their time within meetings. Additionally, it means that people that for people who have never played the game like AOC, it's fairly easy to learn the ropes and get swept up in the heated debates Among Us brings.
AOC AMONG US PC
This allows the game to transition nicely to both PC and mobile phones, the two gaming platforms with the broadest appeal. While games like Valorant succeed by appealing to people interested in high-level competitive play, Among Us’ simplicity makes it one of the most appealing and popular games of 2020.Īll players can do in Among Us is move around, kill, call meetings, and complete very simple minigames that often boil down to clicking something onscreen. Its success, and to a broader extent the success of Among Us as a whole, comes down to how easy it is to pick up and play. Overall the reception to the stream has been positive.
