That's You!

That's you, the first title in the PlayLink series, has gameplay that works flawlessly, great production values, and astounding attention to detail. If you have a party of close friends with a healthy dose of self-irony, it can be an excellent filler for your nights together.

That’s You! aims to be the entertaining game of this summer thanks to its fun style that will make the parties with our friends much better.

It’s a no-brainer for those with a PlayStation Plus account and one to consider for those with a bunch of friends and worn out copies of Jackbox’s finest. You’ll definitely have to invest in a portable charger for your phone or tablet, though.

That's You! is a wonderful party game, for literally everyone is able at least to take a selfie. Smart, funny, and witty, That's You! is the kind of couch multiplayer experience that PlayStation 4 needed.

A fine, novel way to progress the party game genre, That's You! is a surprisingly good, goofy time. Smart use of its PlayLink smartphone app, customizable questions, and photo-fiddling nonsense, make this a winning title.

With an entertaining atmosphere, plenty of settings, and over 1,000 questions, That's You is an absolute with mates – and in this case, the more the merrier. Questions can get hilarious, awkward, crazy, or just downright weird, but what is guaranteed is that you'll be having a hugely fun time. Thanks to its focus on self-deprecation, creativity, and absurdity, Wish Studios' latest is up there with Jackbox and Sportsfriends as an essential for game nights. And the best thing? It's free on PlayStation Plus for the next few months.

That's you is a hit at every party - if you are happy with the limited number of options.

It’s basically a quiz game, so it’s as suitable for a long-time gamer as it is for someone who just happened to drop by: all that it asks of player is to answer questions, take selfies and paint something from time to time. But its main advantage over its direct competitor, Nintendo’s party-game 1-2-Switch, is longevity – there are lots and lots of questions in That’s You! Also, it can be played by any number of people, and the more participants there are, the more fun it is. [Issue#222, p.69]

PlayLink, the new multi-screen system, launches on PS4 with this 'That's You!' that fuses the best elements of board games and makes it customizable, natural and dynamic by giving each player a buzzer, a camera, a slate and a screen in the palm of your hand. However, it needs more situations and questions.

That's You! delivers an immediate experience, accessible to anyone within a few minutes. If you have a bunch of funny friends, this game can be a blast.

That's You! is probably going to surprise you. It's fun and well designed, and the interaction with the mobile app feels natural. If you have PS Plus, download it at not extra cost and try it with your friends.

That's You simply needed more questions to be an all-inclusive riot. [Sept 2017, p.81]

PlayStation’s new PlayLink format is off to a good start and That’s You really showcases their new software well, including the ease of connecting smart devices to their console. All in all, That’s You is an entertaining game and if you’re looking for a party game, it definitely meets the mark and more importantly, everyone has a smartphone these days so getting your friends and family around to play a game on your PlayStation 4 has never been easier.

That's You is an interesting game to play when you're with multiple friends at home, with funny interactions thanks to the PlayLink system that uses smartphones as controllers. It's still quite limited as you really need to be along some people you know well before you start playing this.

That's You is a casual game which offers a guarantee for fun. That is if you play offline and with more than two players. Playing online or with less players will not be as much fun. Still a great demonstration of the new PlayLink app.

It’s a great proof of concept as to why mobile and console gaming can complement each other, and don’t always need to be separated.

If you've got friends to play That's You with, it might just be the ideal party game for Sony's PlayLink system.

What’s great about That’s You right now is that it’s free for PlayStation Plus members. It’ll jump to $19.99 starting on October 24, a steep price compared to the Jackbox Party Pack, which costs $24.99 and comes with a plethora of games, but it’s worth it for those who get in right now. The graphics are great, as they should be since there’s not a lot going on visually, the narration is funny and the mini-games allow for a ton of natural comedy. It’s also the first of the PlayLink games, so if this is just the beginning, then it’s a good sign. That’s You is easy for everyone to get in on at parties or just when hanging out with friends and shows the future of PlayLink is promising indeed.

Other games in the PlayLink series look to do far more interesting things with your mobile phone, but as far as a proof of concept goes, That’s You! certainly makes the case for the system, even if it’s not as convenient as it could be. If you have PlayStation Plus, it’s worth downloading both the game and the app to see for yourself how it all works, and while I personally felt this one doesn’t have the legs to hold interest beyond a couple of games, the technology behind it shows promise.

A fun party game that is mostly enjoyable with friends and our couch. Otherwise, it isn't as fun, especially when played by 2 players.

That’s You! definitely can be fun, but it just doesn’t have the longer-term appeal that the simpler, but more outrageous games from Jackbox have. Still, as an early look at what’s in store for future PlayLink games, That’s You! Is an able demonstration of party potential.

All the parts are there for a great party game, but they don't quite fit together thanks to oddly long rounds and an unfortunate amount of scenario repetition. [Sept 2017, p.93]

Whilst it may not be the best party game on the market, it's still fun for the time you'll spend playing it.

C’mon Sony, you could do better. This is a far cry from games like Buzz or You Don’t Know Jack. This is a rather lame quiz with an unnecessary focus on drawing. It shows though, that the mobile phone is a decent controller replacement.

As a free PS Plus game, it's worth a look. [Issue#190, p.84]
