Enemy On Board
This is my new favourite game. Currently I have over 500+ hours on this game so I can give my review with some experience.
PROS:
1. Game is short, can finish a game between 2-10 minutes.
2. There is a lot of social deception in this game. Similar to other games like Avalon, Secret Hitler, Among Us, Project Winter, you will need to work together to win as crew.
3. This is an Early Access game, and the developers are adding new content all the time.
4. There is a high skill cap in both reading people and combat in the game.

Before I say anything else I want to make it clear, I wanted to test the new controls out before leaving a review for it, that’s why I made a different review for the old patch.
Before the WASD update review: I liked the game with its unique movement system in the genre, the game had it’s own charm in that it wasn’t just mindless combat or just heres some randoms figure out who the non innocent are then vote them out. Crew could actually fight back against aliens and while there was moments where the crew or my partner were counting on me to 1v2 or 1v4 I managed to overcome it and feel good in my accomplishment. Overall it was 9/10 for me, fun, interactive and unique in the genre.

First Class Trouble
This game’s community became trash the moment they made it cross platform. It was a great community of like minded players 9/10 sessions were very fun, social and generally pleasant but ever since they opened it up to the xbox community it’s just full of toxic players, people teaming and each lobby is nothing but homophobic and racist slurs. I have 135 hours on record but now it’s time to uninstall. What a shame.

This game is great at its core. It was unfortunately recently ruined by cross-play.
As others have stated, you’ll likely get matched with people with no mic or people who are in a Playstation party together, so you’ll rarely hear people speak. Since it is such a language driven game, you cannot play a proper match without communication.
It’s still fun if you can get a group of 6 together, but the solo or duo queue is incredibly difficult to deal with. If you turn cross-play off, you’ll wait for 20 minutes for a full lobby, whereas before you were in a full lobby within seconds.

Eville
Betray your friends- and lie your way to victory. In the multiplayer social deduction game Eville you find yourself in a village riddled by a series of murders. Some say it might have been you - or was it? Convince others you’re not a murderer to stay alive!
Inspired by popular social-deduction party games such as Werewolves this is a new take on the concept with realtime gameplay and interaction. Take on the role of a Villager or Conspirator and do your deeds when no one is watching. Place wards to observe other players or tread through the village to visit any house and go on a killing spree. It is your task to communicate with other players and prove your innocence. Use your unique role abilities to your advantage and make sure your team survives.
Devious murders are taking place in the once peaceful village of Eville. Each day the Villagers can decide on suspects and execute them until all evil-doers are found. Each night however the Conspirators gather and decide to murder another innocent Villager until they take over the village. You play as a random role and have no idea who is on your side. Use your abilities and social skills to find out!
Objective: Stay alive and discover the conspirators!
-
Win by executing all conspirators
-
Call in meetings, vote out and execute the Conspirators

Use the underground to traverse through Eville in secret

Rich discord integration (coming soon)
We take the community’s input very seriously. Listening to the feature requests and feedback from our fans is important to us, that’s why fans can have a direct line to us, via our discord community channel; where they’ll be able to discuss the development of Eville with us. Quite often game developers suffer from tunnel-vision, and we’re no exception. Having a springboard to bounce ideas back and forth with, can be quite refreshing. At the end of the day, our goal is to create a fun experience, and having the community’s direct feedback is essential to this process.

Dread Hunger
PROS:
Addictive
Great unique art style
Polished mechanics despite being in early access
Immersive level design
Kind and caring community (great for making new friends)
Developers listen to the community
Every match is different from the last
CONS:
Limited tools to deal with trolls and grifers creating scenarios where people will rejoin after being kicked (occasional griefer/troll)
Deception tools are very easy to counter when with an experienced crew making it a choir to play as a thrall encouraging a PvP style of play

I do wish there was a yes and no option to recommend. If you have 7 other friends with you then yeah I would recommend this to you. If not then enter at you’re own risk of some pretty toxic people. Meta gaming. ect. Not all the time but a good majority. You may say well just kick them but they can keep joining back. there is no ban option and the few good group of people out here had to make a list of griefers and toxic people to avoid and kick because the devs have not given us the tools to do so in lobby and all. I say once you get kick it should be you can not join back that lobby. There is not much good communication between the community and the devs since they mainly care about the few streamers who play there game. Which I see from a company money making point of view can be good. Keep the streamers happy and into the game to keep streaming there game and possibly get more buyers. But it sucks for the rest of us who have to put up with all the glitches still in the game and getting bad responses from the devs. They balance the game around potential griefers instead of outright dealing with the griefers/ giving hosts the tools to deal with them. Wile focusing on other thing’s instead of this big issue the game is currently having. Anyone will hate having thrall and to have some Meta gaming people ruin that by giving info from the game through discord instead of through the game like it should be. I’m danm well sure I have had this happen with Streamers and I have had other say they had this issue as well and problems with some streamers on here doing these kind of thing. Having very little ways to combat this ourselfs as players even if we have video proof nothing get’s done about it and that’s why I can’t support this game till this issue is resolved which I really hate. I really enjoyed playing this game and still do when it’s friends.

The Mutineer
A really funny party/local game! Play with an audience for entertaining results. Recommended if you have friends to play with, if not remote play and solo are still an option!
– Real player with 37.9 hrs in game
Just… Fantastic and extremely underrated.
This game may not seem like much when you first test it out, but as you continue playing you realise the depth and sheer strategy and mind games this game possesses and reflects on to the 2 of you playing.
And since you only need one other player, remote play is actually very smooth and easy to carry out, since you don’t have to worry with the burden of trying to stream to multiple people at once. Also, the game isn’t demanding for the stream at least from my experience, so the people you play with should have a really smooth experience for the most part.

Accident On the Simple Rd
I was waiting for a match for an hour. And no one came, so I was all alone until one person joined. But they left cause it wasn’t enough people. I’m not going to say I don’t recommend it. I still want to play it.
– Real player with 4.2 hrs in game
The game is simple, fix the bus or catch the maniacs. There is an accident though, there are not enough people playing! There are not enough people playing at a time. The map is too large for only four people, I haven’t seen the bus repaired even once! I wish to see the bus fix ending.
Edit: The bus fix ending is truly anticlimactic, go for the bus fix ending at your own discretion
