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.

Do you love social deduction games like Mafia, Werewolf, The Resistance and Secret Hitler? We do too! But we noticed some shortcomings in the genre. They are sometimes hard to set up and inconvenient to play. Some games need too much room or a big table, some require a moderator with godlike precision, some require to close your eyes for minutes, and quite often the game is ruined because someone forgot to do their part correctly or a newbie player asked the wrong question and revealed their secret. We have built Republic of Jungle to address to these issues and distill the fun of social deduction games into a more enjoyable and convenient experience. Inspired by Jackbox Games, we have built a platform where players can use their smartphones (or any device with a browser) to play the game. This way, the game does all the moderation for you, guides the players throughout the game and adds a fun narrative on top. More importantly, we have unique mechanics specific to this platform because they are almost impossible to implement in a traditional tabletop setting.
Killer: Infected One of Us
I think this game is too incomplete for it to be released. There is a lot of bugs and things missing. I understand why the release happened, to get content on what needs to be added and such. But there is simple things that this game should have stayed in beta testing. Not only do I see many problems, it is also is a pay to play when in 25 minutes of “playing” I cant even stay in a lobby with friends, nor can I actually stay in a game. I do not know why this game was created based off Among Us and yet there are simple things needed that would just make 10x times better release if they did at least one more month of testing and fixing and adding in little details for friends to actually stick together. I am not saying its a bad game, I just think it should have stayed in the incubator just a little longer.

Hi, I’m a streamer producing content in Turkey. At the same time, I want to produce content related to this game on my Youtube channel called “Barding Games”. I shot my first video with a team of 6 people and we didn’t have any problems. The scenes, tasks, locations are very creative and beautiful, but when it comes to playing with 12 people, some of us entered the game invisible at the beginning of the game and we could only see them with tiny pixels. No matter what we did, we couldn’t solve the problem. (we closed and opened the game, restarted steam, etc.) Another issue, the difficulty of the missions is too much to be discussed. If you insist on playing the game, you solve the tasks after 6-7 games. However, people who are new to the game and trying to observe never understand the tasks and have difficulty continuing the game. The tasks that we spent minutes to do are endless. Even when the infected person is sluggish, we find it difficult to complete tasks. instant monitored streamer of 3000-4000 in Turkey, I saw they were trying to play in twitch.tv; While watching their past broadcasts, I realized that they could not be patient with the second game. Although the game has great potential, it needs immediate change. Please hear our voices and improve the game. We want to play this game.

Unfortunate Spacemen
This game has everything a among us player wants plus sooooooo much more.
First of all this game is free and I mean free not loot boxs or pay to win mechanics, there are somewhat overpriced cosmetics but they are purely cosmetic and ad no gameplay advantage.
There is a story mode which is not bad, a survival mode that’s pretty meh, and shapeshifter the reason everyone plays without going into a long wall of text One of you is a monster and everyone’s name is hidden as a color. Instead of scaresolution for example you see blue the monster looks human until he transforms and the twist he can change color.

Unfortunate spacemen is where you play as one of many unfortunate spacemen/women stuck on a station with a shapeshifting monster that’s out to screw you over one way or another. (there are other gamemodes, however the game and this review will revolve mostly around the shapeshifter gamemode)
Pros:
-
Very large amount of replayability, it has a justifiable amount of maps and weapons that show up in random spots, as do the objectives.
-
Fantastic OST, the recently added menu music is something I can’t help but jam out to (I miss the old music though :( )

As someone who has nearly all the achievements and an ironic amount of playtime at the moment of reviewing, I feel as though I am legally obligated to review this game.
I’ll spare you the history lesson here, as you probably know what Among Us is. I’ll just talk about the new update and my experience with it. The new update includes 4 new roles, 3 of them are for Crewmates and the other is for Impostors. Scientist, Engineer, Guardian Angel, and Shapeshifter. The Scientist can access the Vitals from anywhere, and any time. Engineers can vent, just like Impostors. Do note that the abilities of Scientist and Engineer get disabled if the Comms Sabotage occurs. The Guardian Angel is given to you upon being voted out or being killed by an Impostor. It allows you to break the game by shielding Crewmates and disabling an Impostor’s Kill Button for an entire round. The Shapeshifter is an Impostor-Exclusive, and allows you to become any Crewmate that is/was alive during a current round. Anybody from a previous round cannot be shifted into.

Fear Surrounds
Very fun, but if you’re an English player, use your phone for Google Translate, because global servers are empty. Only Chinese players are on the game. Even with the language barrier, this is a fun game which is always suspenseful but fun. I wish there was a better English tutorial because I am clueless about the rules of the game.
The graphics are outdated, but they work very well. I prefer them being low quality. It adds that 2000s PS1/PS2 horror feel to it. The only thing I dislike is the blinding whiteness when you look at another player with a flashlight, and the goofy animations. Other than that, this game is well worth the price and I encourage anyone to try it.

so far for most of my play time is finding a match and when I do the time it takes for people to talk for 2 minutes or 120 seconds is long and I think I get the idea of why but feels like you might as well leave to do something especially on your phone. I think of games like among us with how it is not that long since if you have 13 players you will be waiting until 26 mins (2 minutes for each player to speak) to vote. So far after this I can’t seem to find any matches for global and only on arena and when I try to find a match people just level requirement to join. So far from my experience I can’t recommend this game even through it didn’t cost much to buy. Something needs to be done to encourage more player growth I am not sure what they can do. but I do see potential for this game. just doesn’t seem to be doing that well where I can recommend anyone playing this game. After playing more I got kicked out of a match that is not good for a only multiplayer anyone who has played rainbow six siege back during the vote to kick wars know this is not a good idea since out group and in groups occur and people can ruin a match the fun for you when especially your in church in the game. I can only play in foreign lobby so I can not participate in discussion during the church due to language barrier. This is not fun and good for foreigners or anyone trying to play the game neither is recommonding discord a solution since I can’t get successful for it on another game.
