Strengths and weaknesses
Among Us
- Free and quick to learn
- Great with a group of friends
- Purchases are cosmetic or ad removal
- Ads unless you pay to remove them
- Public lobbies can be chaotic
Among Us is still the easiest way to get a group of friends arguing in the best way. Four to 15 players run tasks on a ship while one or more impostors sabotage and pick people off, then everyone talks it out and votes. New roles like the Judge and the Influencer keep rounds unpredictable. It's free, with ads you can remove for $1.99, and it shines with friends far more than with random lobbies.
Full Among Us review
Roblox
- Endless variety for free
- Friends follow you across games
- Anyone can create and publish
- Robux offers and loot boxes are everywhere
- Lots of personal data linked to you
Roblox is less a game than a giant arcade of games made by its players, from obbies and tycoons to horror and role-play. You hop between experiences with one avatar and one friends list, and anyone can build their own. Quality swings wildly, Robux offers are everywhere, and the App Store lists ads and loot boxes. Chat now needs an age check, which helps, but parents should still set controls.
