The Jackbox Party Pack 10 keeps the hot streak going, whilst celebrating a milestone birthday in style. I tend to say this every year, but this one might just be the best collection yet.
The Jackbox Party Starter does a great job of introducing players to the party game phenomenon. The choice of games is bang on, and it provides more than enough to help people decide if this is a series they want to party on with.
The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is another splendid serving of mini-game madness. There’s nothing radically new or different here, but the same established formula works as well as ever, especially when your mates are up for a game or two.Â
The Jackbox Party Pack 7 on Xbox One is a solid entry in the long-running series. Two games need an in-person or private chat to be enjoyed to their fullest abilities, but the other three titles not only fit well into streaming, but they are also delightfully fun to play.
The Jackbox Party Pack 5 arrives at just the right time as the temperature cools down, moving the party from the garden to back inside the house, bringing with it five games that can be controlled through your mobile phone. This time, they aren’t all trivia-based either – this sequel also includes a rhyming game based on freestyle rapping and a physics-based game.
With three previous Jackbox Party Packs all now available on Xbox One and other consoles, have the team at Jackbox pushed things too far with a fourth edition? Well, I’m here to tell you that answer - and for the most part, it’s all good!
The nights are getting colder and longer, there’s not much point venturing out now winter has arrived. It’s probably best you gather round with friends and family for a spot of fun and laughter. Board games can take an awfully long time to get going, so you’re far better off on console, which just happens to have a new party game in its library. After achieving a relatively positive response to their first and second packs, Jackbox Games are back with a third title. Can The Jackbox Party Pack 3 deliver a party experience worth delving into? Or will you be forced to locate that dusty old Monopoly?
The original Jackbox Party Pack was a pretty good example of how you can play with many, without owning a truck load of controllers and ultimately have a good old laugh. Now there’s a follow up, The Jackbox Party Pack 2, but will it be a fitting sequel or have we already seen the best that Jackbox Games has to offer?
