Most of the best parts of similar games.
Infinite replayability & up to date interface, options, and online features.

I tried it with a few people, but it's only somewhat entertaining and funny. The "Write a Riff" mode uses text-to-speech which has relatively flat tone. Some clips and choices on "Pick a Riff" are probably much more funny if you're familiar with Western culture in specific decades.
It's not my cup of tea, but there's no strong reason not to recommend it either, when it's also rather cheap.

Fun, funny, & simple.
What you see is what you get.
Pick from a sampling of soundbites, or write your own riff to be read (poorly) by text-to-speech!
Caveat Emptor -- all you can do with the base client is spectate other lobbies/matches.
If you want to host your own session or interact (aka: play) it requires a 3rd party site.

For our first play session, my family binged this for over three hours. We really appreciated the options to customize our game, including extending the timer so everyone had time to get their captions submitted. Strong recommendation for a variety of ages.

The Gist: You watch movie clips of dubious quality and write or pick a riff of suitable comedic value.
The Good
- The array of movie clips is astonishing.
- There's lots of options to customize your game room to your liking.
- There's even sound effects to enhance your riffs.
- If one player earns an achievement, you'll earn it too! Though that's probably a glitch.
The Bad
- Nothing, really. The game does what it set out to do pretty much perfectly, if nothing more.
Pro Tip: To actually write or pick riffs for clips, you need to use a separate browser window to open rifftrax.games , where you'll type in your room number and nickname, then you're set!

Great little party game, and with the customisation options (they do require a bit of tech know-how) probably the best of the riffing style games from the MST3K crew. It's a go-to game when we don't have quite enough for Jackbox, since Rifftrax is fun with only 4 players and the Riffbot. You do need the kind of people who can riff since the riff-for-me options are hit-and-miss, and pick-a-riff kinda blows.
