JACOB’S REVIEW: They’ve been making YDKJ games forever, and they’re a hit for a reason. Why are you making this hard on yourself? To make things interesting, we switched up who wrote the initial reviews and who wrote the rebuttals. Our judging system was based on looking at the game and deciding if it was good (criticism is easy and fun, you guys) and the games were awarded a letter grade:
That’s why Jesse and Jacob have sorted all of these games into tiers, just like those fighting game nerds. However, as great as these games are, when you’ve made 35 of these fucking things (only six of which are explicit sequels), there’s bound to be some games that are better than others.
And it’s a great time! Jackbox has been there for family game nights, friendly gatherings, and even COVID-friendly remote parties, allowing you to easily change the subject from “you guys, isn’t the world crazy right now?”. Scrabble on the PS1 is still Scrabble, but sure, whatever, Merry Christmas, Uncle Joel.)įinally, the Jackbox Party Pack entered the scene in 2014 with a simple but stunning promise: What if your phone was also a game controller? With that, we were off to the races, and Jackbox has kept up a regular release schedule, rolling out a pack of five new mini-games almost every year. (And that leaves nothing said about the video game adaptations of board games. Aside from occasional and often unintentional hits (we’re looking at you, Wii Sports), party games struggled to leave the “this is a video game for video gamers” box and enter the “this is like a board game anyone can play” arena. For decades, video gaming has tried to horn in on the “party game” market.
