A few randoms from the internet also caught the stream and ended up diving in for a few games too. So yesterday I assembled the writing team together, and a few extra friends, and we had a major session on the game. However, you can also stream over Twitch directly from the PS4 and people can join in remotely, albeit with a bit of Twitch lag. Either way, you’ll have a lot of fun in a room full of people with this series. We’ve had quite a few nerdy meet ups over the years and the Jackbox games are always the highlight of any gaming get together and while these sessions usually head towards trying to be as funny and offensive as possible, the joy of Jackbox is to play the games with a sense of whimsy. Typically the packs are comprised of five or so mini-games, usually a mix of drawing games, writing games and quizzes. If you’re not familiar with the Jackbox Party Pack series from Chicago-based devs Jackbox Games, they are packs of mini-games that are started up and hosted on your PS4 but then players join in via their mobile phones or tablets. You just need to make sure everyone’s up for the long haul with these games.Octoin PS4 tagged jackbox / mobile / party by Richie I came away impressed by the five games here I don’t think any of them are even close to being a dud. If you’re looking for something better for lighter concentration, Jackbox 5 doesn’t have the variety of some of the earlier bundles.
If you have friends and family who are down to write out robot raps or pitch silly fake products, this is a fantastic entry in the Jackbox line.
Each of these games seem to demand a higher level of commitment from the players. The theme for Jackbox Party Pack 5 is, in a way, commitment. The Switch already has a slew of games in this style that control better and have more depth. Zeeple Dome isn’t what I come to Jackbox games for. It’s fun and frantic at times but exposes the weaknesses of Jackbox’s design, since using your phone or tablet as a controller in an action game is suboptimal. While each player is rewarded for defeating the most enemies, dying the least, and more, this is primarily a cooperative experience. Each player flings their colored alien around the screen using a circle on their touch screen, trying to defeat enemies and work together. After years of drawing and word input, Jackbox dives into what is essentially a single-screen co-op Angry Birds. Zeeple Dome builds off of Mad Verse City’s unique hook with one of its own: it’s an action game.
