Must Play

Town of Salem

lempamo
thermoplastics
Top Pro

Fun bluffing based gameplay

•••
The main aspect of the game is that you never know if anyone is lying to you at any particular time. This also goes for the player as well, as you can lie to anyone anytime. Which makes for quite the guessing game that asks of the player to use their deduction skills. When doing this with large gro...

Dedicated player base

•••
Tons of people are playing Town of Salem and its different game modes, so you won't have a problem finding people to play with.

The game keeps you playing, it's actually original

•••
You can't find a game where you are this involved with other players anywhere else on the internet.

Top Con

A lot of renegades

•••
There are players that like going on their own and killing innocent people without any clue or strategy.

lempamo
Top Con

Uses Adobe Flash

•••
Most browsers are starting to deprecate Flash as a plugin, (unless you have a browser like Google Chrome, which uses its own fork of Flash) you won't be able to play this game without having to purchase it on Steam.

Top Con

Gamethrowing

•••
Sometimes, players act against their goals to win. For example, a member of the Mafia may end up purposefully revealing the whole Mafia. At that point the game is practically over. Luckily, you can report people who are gamethrowing within the game itself.
thermoplastics
Top Con

High learning curve

•••
It may be best to read up on this game and familiarize oneself to the rules and mechanics as well as common abbreviations. One particular aspect to learn about would be the 29 different roles found in the game, as you may be any one of them at the beginning of a game.

Top Con

Turned pay-2-win after Kabam acquisition

•••
Vaults (permanent storage) and character slots are locked through coins. Coins cannot be earned and are only obtained through real-world money. This game is difficult without storage space to save items looted which requires players to create and manage other accounts known as 'mules'.
Devon Pawlak
Alex
Top Con

Glitches back to the Nexus often

•••
When confronted with a large number of enemies, the game will send me back to the nexus, not giving me a death message or anything. I can play for 45 minutes or longer, going in a single direction, and this happens.

Agar.io

thermoplastics
Top Pro

Fun and addictive

•••
The mechanics of navigating the screen area aren't all that easy to understand, so it's as much about figuring out the limitations of the board as it is about running away from the big guy.
thermoplastics
Top Pro

Players can customize their cell

thermoplastics
Top Pro

Deep gameplay

•••
While looking overly simplistic there is a good bit of strategy to the game as players can split their cell in order to confuse or surprise attack foes as well as spit out excess cells in order to change ones size.
thermoplastics
Top Con

Random respawns can lead to instant death

•••
The game often sees players respawn right next to a large enemy which leads to them instantly dying, this can be frustrating when it happens a lot to a player.

Frustrating gameplay
