Along with all the different characters colors, you can also customize them at a cost. Each item costs anywhere from SGD$1.49 to SGD$3.99 which I would say is pretty affordable considering most skins gave a hat included with it and some hats come in bundles of 8!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maps

There are only 3 maps as of now and a fourth one is currently in the making. The three of them are:

  • The Skeld: A space ship
  • Mira Hq: A space base
  • Polus: A planet base

Currently, my favorite map is The Skeld. The first map I had played on. I have played it so much that I might even know the map in the back of my hand!

In conclusion, Among Us is a great game. BUT, the only downside is its numerous number of bugs such as the most common one I encounter which is the blank game bug. Every time I load on, I have to exit at least 3 times to get the lobby to show the games available. But despite that, I still continue to play it game after game because of the excitement of winning or loosing each game!
