Luitenant_Gruber The Jackbox Party Pack 7 Review

Hilarious installment that is worth it for just one game alone. I really like the Jackbox series. Just as Knowledge is Power, it is a party game with lots of fun, silly animations and a high replay value. Unlike Knowledge is Power however, Jackbox is a little bit more versatile. Instead of being bound to your PlayStation and your smartphone, you can now use your phone or your pc/laptop to connect to jackbox, and play. The connection and overall stability of the game is also a lot better. There are many Party Packs for the Jackbox games. Each pack offers a set of minigames that you can complete with your company of friends or family. Most of them revolve around choosing the funniest answer, predict who might have answered a certain question in a certain way, or, in general, just who made the most ridiculous drawing. Throughout the mini games, players score points, the player with the most points wins. Easy and simple. Of all the Jackbox Party Packs, the seventh installment came as a very pleasant surprise. However, this is only because of one masterpiece of a minigame. To start off, you got Quiplash, a game in which you describe a word or situation with three words. These are then displayed beneath each other and two players fight for the most lolz and get the points. After this, you got Blather ‘Round, a pop culture guessing game. You just guess answers and try to guess which player might be right. Simple, a little boring but fun enough. Another very disappoint game is Talking Points. You get a series of pictures and need to comment on it. A little lazy in my opinion. Then you got The Devils and the Details, a game in which you need to do chores as fast as possible to earn points. Personally, I thought this one was a little chaotic, too complicated and overall, not that much fun. When reading this, one could question why I would even play or recommend this game, but then came Champ’d Up, the best game in this whole pack. In this game, you draw your own unique hero, name it, and let it battle against another player. You win the fight by receives the most upvotes from other players. This process repeats until a winner remains. The animations and art style of The Jackbox Party Pack 7 is colorful, jolly and silly. My biggest compliment here, is that all animations and slides within the games, are really fast, keeping the pace of the game at a very healthy levels. The silly sounds, the jolly music in the background, enhances the experience and lets you have a good time with the game. With the right company, I can get aches in my stomach from laughing and I think that The Jackbox Party Packs are the best party games out there by far. The Jackbox Party Pack 7 was great, but only because of one game. Champ’d Up was hilarious and I would startup this Pack any time to play it again. Definitely recommend this one.
