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!!

Super Sketchy Party
It’s as sketchy as the title make it seems. It’s just so bareboned, it doesn’t make people want to play. Sure, it’s early access, but they really should have made it much more attractive.
It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just badly explained and there’s much better, and funnier alternatives. My friend was completely bored on it, and we decided to quit during the first game and we switched to a certain stand-alone similar Jackbox game that kept their attention for far, far longer.
There’s barely any music or sounds, which makes the whole experience feel dull. Animations are barely present in the game making it feel boring, and the game doesn’t make people interact with each other partly due to the presentation. Just having a narrator or anything to explain in the beginning would make a really sweet difference. The different prompts really didn’t felt much funny, they were honestly quite boring.

ACT IT OUT XL! A Game of Charades - Designed for Twitch
I originally bought this on the Wii U and one feature that was missing there (but is here and in the PS4 version) is the connectivity to Twitch, Mixer and YouTube.
Let me just say first of all. This is great fun with friends and family and works as a brilliant couch-play / party game.
But for me, the real fun is being able to stream it. Casually making a fool of yourself is what the internet is all about and I’m pleased to say that I had a great first stream with this. The viewers were engaged and having a good time, and playing the game is easy, easy, easy.

connecting through settings doesnt work so you wont get notification problems but you can still play live with chat. It was awesome. I was having issues so I reached out to the team that made this on facebook they responded quickly honestly and helped me figure it out!

Billion Road
Billion Road is a fun game that shows a lot of heart. The mechanics are fun and it’s easy to learn, despite not always being explained well. On occasion, new prompts or events will show up for your AI opponents and the game speeds through them faster than you can read. While this can be irritating and lead to you missing new or important information, you will often experience the prompts again on your own turn and can read them at your own pace whenever they do show up. This game is adorable and unique and gives you so much freedom of choice when it comes to how you choose to spend each turn. I also thought the ability to customize your avatar in game as you unlock items whenever you want was a nice little feature as well. In my opinion, if you enjoy games like monopoly and fortune street, you’ll enjoy this. It’s adorable, it’s fun, it’s brimming with culture and over the top ridiculousness, and a lot of heart and love went into it. When it comes to monsters, none feel useless. All of them have their positives at the cost of one of your 3 slots. More new and unseen monsters show up as the game progresses and each choice can make or break you. As for the follower monsters, good lord they can be a thorn in your side. They definitely do their part in throwing wrenches in your plans, or giving you that little boost while wreaking havoc on your opponents. I can’t tell you how many times my most hated AI would switch between the opponents based on how many times they decided to attack and what they did. It never felt infuriating however, it was always fun even when things were going wrong.

TLDR long games best experience imo just take breaks inbetween sessions play if you like growth and big numbers. Don’t expect many updates team listed is localization team
Please upvote i worked hard on this review
I won’t compare this game to other games that other reviewers have compared this game. this game does its
own thing and i think comparing it too other series is setting up consumers to be disappointed with a odd experience then what was promised.
This game really wants you to play this game a long time as properties can be upgraded and a whole gameplay loop revolves around getting the maximum investment out of your properties. all gameplay in this game scales with time. Money gained/lossed. monster stats and events. the game does have a short playtime game mode called skirmish that defaults to a 3 year game. which is quick for this game. but i’m mixed about it for i feel like that doesn’t show the greatness of this game fully. but at the same time playing this game for super long periods of time can get repetive this game does not have minigames outside of a quick button masher.

Drawful 2
( YES, You only need one copy of Drawful 2 to have all your friends play. You do not need additional copies for each persons phone/device )
Group of 4 really enjoyed this game. It was hard to for some to understand how the strategy of the game goes so maybe this will help
-First phase: Everyone draws a picture of the Titles provided
-Second phase: A players picture is selected at random, all other players observe the drawn picture and create convincing titles for the drawing to be added to the title guessing phase based on what they think the image looks like.

The Jackbox Party Pack 3
This pack is my Close 2nd Favorite Jackbox Party Pack, with Party Pack 2 being #1. The trailer is right, this pack is truly INSANE. From Designing Custom T-Shirts, to Trying to stay alive while answering trivia questions, to answering silly prompts such as “An item on every pervert’s grocery list”, this pack is bound to thrill you, make you laugh, and get hours of fun worth! This pack is definitely worth all the money! This pack is home to Fakin' It, Quiplash 2, Guesspionage, Trivia Murder Party, and Tee K.O.

Since there are 5 party games in one game I’m going to be reviewing them all and thankfully for me, I have tried out all the games whether that be sacrificing my friends' time to play some of these games or playing it with my family members.
Let’s first start off with Quiplash 2: Whether it be family members, college mates or steam users this game is crowned as the best thing in existence. This just like the first predecessor is really fun and enjoyable, there are lot of new things that haven’t been introduced in the first game, such as the fact that you can create your own prompts, I have so far 2 episodes I made with a lot of crazy prompts such as “help! A gargoyle stole my cheese pizza”. There’s also new weird characters that you randomly play as such as a weird turqoise cat or a gray vampire coffin or a yellow (demonic voiced?) star. They also changed The Last Lash level, instead of getting a prompt you’re given either an acro prompt, a comic prompt or a word prompt and not only that players award the answers in medals so that is something new.

The Jackbox Party Pack
A whole (insert unit) of fun. Get your friends together for some fun. I guess I’ll be like everybody else and break the 5 games down one at a time.
Word Spud:
The general consensus is that this game is bad. There’s a reason for that, it’s because it is bad. You’ll play it once and then it’ll turn into a Bad Rats-style joke. The game I played devolved into my friends and I typing “gay Alexis is gay” over and over. 2/10 standard rating 10/10 from IGN.
Lie Swatter:
A mediocre game that you won’t play much. True or false gets boring after a few rounds, even with categories like “Shaq rap lyrics” and “butt holes.” (Those were the actual two final round topics I first got.) 5/10 standard 10/10 from IGN.

I bought this game on a Steam Sale, but, trust me on this, the Jackbox Party Packs are worth the full $25. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve packed my laptop to a house party JUST FOR THIS GAME, I’d have enough money to buy the trilogy. You just need your laptop and an internet connection to start it up. Listen, the game uses your phone as the controller, which means literally every single person you ask to play with you immediately have a frame of reference for how it works. That’s priceless. No teaching controls, no explaining mechanics, just “look at the TV, go to that site, enter the code.” I don’t care if you have an Android, iPhone, or cheap knockoff iPad; if you have an internet browser, you can play this game. The games offer the prompt, then your phone’s browser lets you submit your response. Super easy. I’ve seen socially reserved people suddenly become the funniest f***er at the party, not because they’re social butterflies, but because they were witty with their lies on Fibbage.

Party Arena: Board Game Battler
Have friends? check
Want to crush them in mini games? double check
Want to then destroy their souls by killing them right before they get the final goblet and win? triple check
This game is infinite laughs when you play with friends. The minigames are really fun and pretty diverse. The board game part is pretty interesting, sorta like mario party but you get tons of items to attack the other people with. You can kill them and make them respawn at the start, or just push them to a different path, totally stopping them from going where they wanted to.

I have played the game while it was free to play for one day and i really liked it. I like the fact that you can use your gadgets to kill or move yourself or other player. For now the game is great. I hope in the future the creator can make more minigames, more board and more character in the game. I really enjoyed playing it!
