It’s not really about the gameplay, it’s actually about the conversations you have (getting people on your side, proving innocence, etc.).
I think a lot of the reason why people dislike it is that they are either playing it in a weird way or watching a stream. I found out recently that there are a huge amount of people who only play by using the text chat, I tried that once and it was so fucking boring. As well, some people play with total strangers, which also sucks because it’s pretty much just all business and no fun.
Watching a stream sucks because among us is an interactive game, and just watching it instead of playing is boring.
Overall, if you want to have fun with the game I would say play with friends, know the game, but at the same time use it as an excuse to have fun conversations. I’m a big fan of party games, and usually party games don’t blow up like amoogus did, so there are a bunch of people who don’t know how to play them right
