Needless to say, playing a game based around insulting your friends may not be for everyone, and with less variety in it’s gameplay and the fact that the core concept becomes a tad dull after half a dozen rounds, “Mad Verse City” is perhaps the compilation’s low point, although there is still fun to be had.Īs the obligatory drawing-based title in this year’s compilation, “Patently Stupid” provides players with the opportunity to create a problem for other players to solve with an invention. Those not battling can offer up encouragement (or disparagement) via cheers and boos. Using your phone, you’ll plug gaps in a verse and your robot’s vocoder-infused voice will repeat it back. This time around, that award goes to “Mad Verse City” – a game where mechs that look like Transformers battle each other… using rap. In fact, this is the only title in the compilation that doesn’t feature a “Family Friendly” mode.Įach Jackbox Party pack features an outlier – a game so bonkers it stands alone, in visual aesthetic or in content. While things can get competitive, your opponents are likely still going to be nicer to you than the host of the show, who’s backhanded compliments and verbal savagery will remind you that this game is not for kids. There is plenty of variety to be found from one round to the next – in a single match, you’ll be matching items on your screen, categorising items, voting on the next question or dealing with polls from the audience. Framed through the lens of “Binjpipe”, a nefarious Netflix-style corporation that is now running the show.
A trivia game unlike any other, it can be played solo or with eight people, with a focus on streaming to an audience that can also take part.
THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK PS4 REVIEW UPDATE
Now in its fifth iteration, does this Party Pack do enough to warrant everyone logging on? Reviewing such a hodgepodge of games is tricky, so I’ll be speaking about each individual part of the package.Īn update to the game that started it all, “You Don’t Know Jack” is as fun as ever. Working on the quite accurate notion that anyone in the room has access to a smartphone, The Jackbox Party Packs are bundles of pure distilled fun – albeit with some missteps here and there (designing T-shirts in the third party pack wasn’t quite as fun). Since 2014, one name has become synonymous with party games – Jack.
