Overview:
This has become one of my new favorite games! I have been playing it almost every night to wind down before bed. The music is very relaxing and with dark mode it’s easy on the eyes for nighttime. If you like the aesthetic of Mini Metro and Hexcells I think you will enjoy this game.
Game Modes:
My favorite game modes are Classic and Blitz. I also really love Zen when I just want to play a casual game. I really appreciate that I have the ability to select the type of game I would like to play based on my mood. You aren’t stuck to just one game mode like some other puzzle games. It helps to make the game more dynamic and also addictive! You can play super relaxing game modes or if you are more into fast paced challenging games you have that option as well.

Paper Jam!
This is a great game. However, Developer, please give us a “Pause” button, so we can take a break during the longer rounds. Right now, you are not utilizing the “Menu” button on the HTC Vive controllers, so please make this a pause button so we can get a drink or use the bathroom during game play.
Also, please consider adding more variety. Perhaps other Word games to supplement this game. Currently, while fun, it gets old during one sitting. So I only tend to play a few minutes per day before getting somewhat bored. You could implement Crossword Puzzles, Scrabble against A.I., perhaps local and online multiplayer Scrabble, et. al.

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
This is a nice-looking Boggle inspired game translated to VR. However, I just can’t recommend it due to a bug which effected gameplay, the word choice in the game, and the puzzling scoring system
So the bug is that sometimes when you try to touch a letter, nothing will happen. You can’t select the letter at all. This is a game-breaking bug which will often lead to losing the round. Now, I did find a work-around and that is to click on submit. Usually that fixes the issue. The problem is that you are submitting a wrong answer. A simple game like this should not have this obvious bug that seriously effects gameplay (at least on the Oculus Quest 2 using link cable with Touch controllers).

LetterBound
LetterBound is a cooperative spelling adventure that can be played locally with up to four friends. The game features a full length campaign, a competitive battle mode, a host of unlockable content, and an educational mode for parents and teachers to practice spelling with their children. The game world is inspired by 1920’s newspaper printing factories but will take players on a larger journey through a world that features trains, skyscrapers, zeppelins, hover cars and more. Due to release in the first half of 2021, LetterBound harnesses the spirit of beloved word games and marries it to the fast paced gameplay of modern day couch co-ops. It’s the perfect mix for those who love playing word games with loved ones on their couch. Whether you’re a word maestro or trying to improve your vocabulary, LetterBound will surely bring a smile to your face!

Cinemoji: Halloween
Another addition to the Cinemoji series, and the new game is as fun as it’s predecessors. CM Halloween keeps the improvements made in CM Oscar, which is very good. For me this is the best game until now, cause, as a fan of the horror genre, this game is like a tresure chest, with LOTS of infos and movie tips.

Very good and fun game, with addictive gameplay and a LOT of levels. Plus, it gives tons of movie tips too - its perfect!

The Cryptologist Room
Terrible controls, clunky movement, unclear objective ( objective says enter answer in the book, but what are we answering?) I spent 3 hours in first room and hours of research on LOTR and cannot figure out what the question is much less an answer. I like puzzle games and cryptograms but the first puzzle has no clear direction. not fun.
– Real player with 5.3 hrs in game
I tried the first puzzle and it racked my brain! An excellent switch from the horror games I’ve been playing. The graphics are excellent and the puzzles are really challenging!
The only downfall I see is that there are many spelling errors (i.e. asnwer, rigns). It’s a small thing, but it’s noticeable when you have to analyze practically everything in order to progress. Otherwise, highly recommend so far!

There are no bad games here.
Champ’d Up is a real treat for people who love to draw, and even people that only draw black and white stick figures can join in and stand a chance. So much unintentional humour - and a lot of fun to be had by trying for some humour if you can guess your opponent’s prompt and make a deconstruction of it. You get to keep your drawings for the next game if you play with the same players, too! Compared to Tee K.O., it feels like a better flow because you draw two things at a time and every drawing is used at least once, possibly more because there’s four drawings and six rounds per person (and again, they can be used in the next game.) Also includes the best part of Bracketeering with none of its bad.

No disclaimer about the fact that I’m European this time around. This Jackbox Party Pack has a Filter for US-Centric content, to make it accessible to the broader audience around the world. Definitely a welcomed addition. You might still note that all of those games were played with the aforementioned option turned on.
Do I recommend the Jackbox Party Pack 7?
- YES, GET IT AT ALL COSTS!!

The Jackbox Party Pack 8
Another great party pack. Each of the games is fun, my friend group gets the most laughs out of Job Job. With some of the games, you can go on the Jackbox TV site afterwards and order a ridiculous NSFW T-shirt with a line from one of the games you’ve played. If Jackbox has gone over well with your friends, Pack 8 won’t disappoint.

I was once with a jew and 7 muslims when I entered a bar in Bismarck, North Dakota. In case you didn’t know, this is the capital of South Dakota. And so, it was in this snowy summer day in Montana that I heard a client who looked drunk as fuck(lmao I’m rofling thinking about it), and he started explaining to me why the radical left partakes in speedrunning. Sadly, I did not get to hear his whole speech. I did, however, catch the end of it: “[…]in a petersonian sense, to elevate the alternatives in the sexual marketplace, open parenthesis, the fastest hedgehog, close parenthesis.” I did not understand a single word he said, and I still do not. I think he was on heroin, as well as substances such as: weed, marijuana, MJ, cannabis and the devil’s lettuce, among other things.

This game has no instructions. When one plays the words do not go into the word list. There is no indication if one has already tried a word.
