Among Us vs Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace
Among Us
Among Us is a social multiplayer game that lets you play with 4-15 players to look for the Impostor among the Crewmates. If you have ever wanted to test your sleuthing skills and play a “whodunnit” game, then you're looking at the right game!As part of the crew, it’s your job to finish tasks to prepare the ship, stop the Impostor’s sabotages, and find out who the Impostor is. You can report dead bodies you stumble upon and call emergency meetings so you can discuss with the rest of the crew, and vote to eject the suspects. Fair warning, though, be sure not to vote out your fellow innocent crewmates! If you’re an Impostor, it’s your job to kill off the crewmates quickly so they won’t be able to escape. However, you need to make sure to do so discreetly so you won’t be voted out and be able to frame bystanders. Thankfully, you can sabotage the ship, move around vents quickly, and lock doors to trap unsuspecting victims.
If you’d like to change how your crewmate/impostor looks, there are a variety of colors to choose from and costumes to wear as well.
Overall, Among Us is a pretty exciting game that will boost (and test) friendships. Dive into it today and play the part of a murderer or a detective with Sherlock-esque skills!
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is a story-driven, party-based adventure RPG complete with unique gridless turn-based combat, and a creepy Lovecraftian theme. In this game, you get to control a ragtag team of investigators with varying experiences and talents. The goal here is to track down the mysterious cultists who are involved in the murder of Professor Tillinghast during what seems to be a sacrificial ritual. Will you be able to find out what’s really going on and who’s to blame for the murder?As someone who has not played the board game version of Arkham Horror before, this turn-based adventure RPG is a pretty great introduction. I absolutely love the horror-themed storytelling here and the voice acting is simply brilliant. Since I’m an avid fan of turn-based RPGs, the gridless gameplay here is unique enough to help it stand out. That said, the game is unfortunately marred by several glitches, especially the annoying camera glitch which can only be fixed by reloading a previous checkpoint.
So, to sum up, Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace may not be triple-A level, but it’s a solidly fun game in spite of its bugs and is still worth the purchase.
