What is the Jackbox Party Pack and how do I play it?:
Each edition of the Jackbox Party Pack contains five minigames. To play, only one person needs to own the game. That person needs to either stream it on a monitor if you’re playing with friends in the same room, or stream it via Twitch / Discord Screen Share etc. Players then watch the stream while entering answers to prompts via the website jackbox.tv on their mobile device or pc browser.

Ooh boy, here we go. A party pack with a MIXED review? Well, lets dive in!
YOU DON’T KNOW JACK: FULL STREAM: (1-8 players)
The game with High culture and Pop culture collide! Not to sell out to Binjpipe or anything, but I had a bunch of fun with this game. Being my first dive into the YDKJ games, I had fun with most of it. The questions are weird, the few times I had other people in game the screws get super wacky, and Dis or Dat is a pretty fun question type. Which leads into the worst thing about it: question types. Most of them are good, except for one. The flickerpiss nosecum gibberish question. God damn I hated this so much. It was just super annoying, and after 20 of these fuckers, I FINALLY got one right. (Wont feta bread slugs fight: Don’t let the bed bugs fight) And another problem I had is that most people don’t really do JackBox for the Trivia games anymore. I mean Trivia Murder Party was pretty good, but that’s as far as most people will go with short attention spans. Good thing it supports 1 players, since that’s the majority of my time playing this game was with myself.

Use Your Words
Fun partygame, if you have people who can write funny.
How does it work?
Use Your Words is a partygame, in which players have to subtitle a foreign movie, write headlines for a photograph in a newspaper, or finish a sentence. Indeed, use your words! Participants can join via a website, so they can use any device such as phone, tablet etcetera. This is most fun at home, but online is also an option during some event where we all have to stay at home.
Unlike games like Jackbox, the presentation in this game is subtle. It depends greatly on the players if it’s fun. If people aren’t very witty, it can become boring. It helps a lot if someone takes a role of showhost, someone to read the answers out loud and comment on them.

Great game and extremely fun. i see alot of people complaining about house answers, but they actually add alot to the game. alot of them are actually really good and the deduction of points is only a problem if you are being hyper-competitive instead of just trying to have a fun time. they add variety and aren’t predictable as to what one is the house answer most of the time (note, in many instances the house answers have quotation marks, which makes it very obvious in those instances). they add another joke to the mix and its normally a pretty good one too. i also enjoy the pacing of the game. parties aren’t about doing as much as you can as quickly as you can, they’re about hanging out and having fun. the explanations fo the minigames is helpful in case someone hasn’t played in a while, is new, and to help get people in the right mindset for the game rather than jsut thrusting them into it suddenly. i can see an argument for a skip button, but i don’t feel its necessary, the game is great as is and has given me no problems. i may not have played that much of it yet, but its a regular even anytime i go out with my friends. it is extremely fun and very much worth the $15 i paid, actually tends to be more fun than cards against humanity most of the time.

Board Quizz Adventure
board quizz adventure is a trivia game with maps where players start on opposite sides and they have to reach the village before their opponent. steam’s remote play together technically makes it work online, otherwise it’s only local multiplayer, no ai opponents. the developer said they might add them, hasn’t happened yet.

I’d say positive, because I like the concept. But by nature of two players frantically answering separate trivia questions, I felt like we didn’t really talk or interact much. You’re too busy reading and answering to really joke around with each other. Maybe a mode that forces things to be turn based would be better?? Then you can take your time a bit, be more strategic, and better understand how the other player is doing.
Another thing, is 2 times we were both completely blocked, and the game doesn’t have checks in place to just end the level at that point. That would help

Few words about the game
Collider is a great, colorful arcade game with non-stop energetic gameplay, from the very beginning of it. You get to choose from one of 5 different game types, each with its own unique rules and variety of amazing music in background. Singleplayer is good and challenging as it’s quite hard to achieve good scores alone. Multiplayer however is epic and terribly addictive, I can’t wait for another opportunity to play with someone else, it’s just too good!

Diner Bros Inc
Great couch-coop game with a lot of variety in the fast paced mini games.
Remote Play Together also works great. Keep in mind that only one player can use a keyboard though.
A great extra feature would be a party mode, where the high scores are shared with the normal save game, but you start with the first small set of mini games. In that way, new players can get acquainted to them and gradually unlock and enjoy more mini games.

Amazing party / couch co-op game. Pretty fun to race after highscores when playing solo, and certainly good laughs when playing in groups. It is also a pretty good game to introduce to the younger kids who are just starting to get into videogames, as the minigames are quite intuitive by themselves.
However, this game is not for everyone. If you’re looking for complex stories or gameplay mechanics, then I’m afraid this is not for you. If you are, however, looking for simple and fun gameplay, give it a try, you will probably love it.
