Thankfully though, that’s pretty much the only downside to the entire pack, for the other four – and a half – games are of top notch quality.įibbage 3 is quite possibly the most enticing of all the games included, with its gameplay boiling down to filling in blanks with truths and lies.
I can only really rate each game included in the Jackbox Party Pack 4 by the amount of laughs that come out of the players’ mouths, and whilst Monster Seeking Monster has the catchiest theme tune, it definitely struggles to bring tears of joy. It’s a strange little twist and one that I’m not sure works as intended as instead of focusing on getting a date – and the answers that your fellow competitors are giving – much of the time is spent ensuring that this damn robot is kept happy. Should any players fail to interact or take this robot on a date, ensuring he ends proceedings in last place, then humanity as we know it will be ended. The problem is that getting in the way is an artificial intelligence robot who is seeking approval status.

The one who arrives at the end of night six with the most hearts wins the day – and is crowned serial dater of the party. At the end, you get the chance to lock in your date, and should they agree then you’ll be sent arm in arm to the nearest fine dining establishment with a heart above your head. To ensure you are the biggest catch, you’ll have six nights worth of game time, with each one allowing you to send up to four messages to the ones that you wish to pair up with.
Well, even though five and a half games are included – that half is vital by the way – it has to be said that one of those is most definitely the black sheep of the family, struggling to really gather much attention in and amongst the company in which it is set.Īnd that odd one out is Monster Seeking Monster a dating themed game in which you get to send funny messages to your fellow daters, as you try to hide your secret powers and garner the most amount of dates.
