It's the Jackbox Party Pack 5, Jackbox Games' 5th entry in the yearly Party Pack series. This pack has 4 hard hitters and 1 stinker, but the 4 hard hitters definitely outway the stinker.
Reviews in order from worst to best:
Zeeple Dome: No surprise, this one is last. Zeeple Dome doesn't work well at all with streaming, the controls may lag out which isn't good for a game where you try to kill alien dudes by launching into them. This one also has the least replay value out of the entire pack.
You Don't Know Jack Full Stream: This one is still really good compared to the other three games, but this one doesn't appeal to much people due to the fact that its a trivia game. You Don't Know Jack's gameplay style and humour is pretty iconic, but I believe the other games in this pack are way more accessible.
Split The Room: What a coincidence, the game where you try to split the room is in the middle of the rankings. Creating hypotheticals is hilarious and fun to do, but you really gotta master making divisive hypotheticals to win in this one. This one is a common one in the Jackbox sessions I play with friends, and its easy to understand why.
Mad Verse City: Making funny raps and trying to win over the crowd (your friends) is the name of this game, and oh boy do I love it. Because the game gives you autogenerated sentences to start out, the raps come out completely idiotic and its just the funniest thing ever.
Patently Stupid: The GOAT of the presentation style Jackbox games, essentially Talking Points from Pack 7 as a drawing game. I love the concept of this game where you have to create a problem and then solve another problem using an invention and this game always turns into a laughing fest. Definitely the #1 of the pack.
