    My personal favourite, though, was Survive the Internet, a game that takes internet outrage culture to new heights as you’re explicitly asked to put your friends’ words in the worst possible light. It’s the perfect set-up for players to say outrageous and inflammatory things, and I found that no matter who I was playing with, we’d invariably have to take breaks so people could compose themselves. In fact, here’s how much fun Survive the Internet is: if Jackbox Party Pack 4 only included that game, it would make the game worth picking up by itself. Add in three other ultra-fun party games (plus, admittedly, one dud), and you have a recipe for a perfect addition to Jackbox’s pretty stellar line-up.

    Jackbox Party Pack 4 is a very solid collection of party games. In fact, it's probably the best entry in the series. Only one game is a real dud, with the other four games offering plenty of chances for hilarity. Fibbage About You is a clever spin on the already great game of Fibbage. It's also great to see the production values and moderation tools continue to improve with each installment. Break out Jackbox Party Pack 4 at your next social gathering (or livestream) and everybody's guaranteed to have a good time.

    We ran into more technical glitches in this pack than any other previous ones, with numerous people randomly getting booted from rooms, unable to rejoin, or simply not being able to join without multiple attempts. While I welcome the new games, someone actually suggested we play the previous Pack, which is a telling sign. The new games are decent additions, but the fun factor is going to completely depend on your group of friends and if they have like-minded humor as you.

    Grab your phone, call your friends and promise them some free beers as The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is a brilliant combination of mini-games that any budding host will need to add to their arsenal. It may just save Christmas and New Year.

    Jackbox Party Pack 4 isn’t completely disappointing – there’s still enough here to warrant a few giggles and it’ll pass an hour or two with a few friends, but it’s not the best that Jackbox has to offer. Go for Party Pack 2 or 3 instead.

    The Jackbox games are an incredible amount of fun and are absolutely perfect to play with your friends and family. The game’s never takeThe Jackbox games are an incredible amount of fun and are absolutely perfect to play with your friends and family. The game’s never take themselves seriously and this definitely adds to the fun factor. The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is a good addition to the series and it will give you some very enjoyable moments, but unfortunately I feel it’s lacking when compared to the other game’s in the series. I do however like the little tweaks they’ve implemented on the Fibbage game, and I feel like these tweaks have given Fibbage a whole new lease of life. There are five games for you to choose from and each game has a lot of variety which means boredom doesn’t set in very quickly. Not all game’s are fun though and this is especially the case with the Monster Seeking Monster game. I found this game to be pretty lacklustre because it takes a long time to complete and this makes this particular game lose its appeal quite quickly. As ever the game’s allow you to have a huge number of players playing at the same time and this in turn makes parties and gatherings perfect to play these games at. I did however notice that some game’s suffered with a few technichal problems, and this was very frustrating when I was trying to get my answer to register. The presentation side of the game is something that really tickled my fancy. Visually the game has a lot of variety going for it and the sound design makes you become immersed in the game and better yet makes you have more fun. At the end of the day The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is definitely the weakest game in the series, but it still manages to make you have a good time. There are a decent mix of game’s to keep you occupied but in my opinion there isn’t much that makes this addition stand out. Fans of The Jackbox Party Pack series will definitely find some enjoyment here however, but if you’re a newbie to the series then I suggest you play the other game’s in the series before purchasing this game.… Expand

    A Pretty Okay Collection
    Party Pack 4 isprobably one of the weaker collections,
    Like all party packs, the more players the better,as with 3 players or less, youll rarely get much enjoyment out of these games,
    party pack 4 consists of 5 games that you play using your phone rather than a controller
    Firstwe have fibbage 3 which is a great upgrade, but fibbage is kinda losing its spark, this is a game where you try yto come up with the best lie to make everyone choose it in a random trivia game for points, though to improve and not just make it another fibbagegame, theres a bonus enough about you option where the questions are about the players in the room, making it much more fun, full of laughs and not as stale as fibbage otherwise would be at this point,
    Next is survive the internet, you try to come up with most ridiculous comments and captions for posts and photos on the internet, with the right people this has potential to be pretty fun one or two times,
    Next Is the best addition to the party pack universe, monster seeking monster, you are all secret monsters, trying to get dates and use your secret ability to get the most hearts out of the other players, who all have their own secret agenda and strategy to win, this can be really fun and full of strategy, trying to date around other players abilities, but I feel like its too short of a game to bring out this games full potential, things don’t get juice until its almost over.
    hen theres bRACKETEERINB, THE WEEKEST OF THE GAMES, YOU HVOTE ON RANDOM BRACKETS YOU ALL COME UP WITH..
    Not much ese to say, that’s the game, its pretty lame.
    And finally is civix doodle..
    Its always great when Jackbox lets you draw and be creative, and civic doodle is a game where two players keep adding onto a picture while other players vote on the drawing they would like to add to,
    this ones okay if you can get people to play it right, otherwise it could easily turn into a pitty party or poluarity contest.
    Jackbox Party Pack 4 shows some games with some promise, but ultiatly doesn’t do enough to be a must have in your collection..
    I would love to see a revamp of monster seeking monster in the future, as this is probably the closest thing to a reason to have party pack 4”
    I give Jackbox Party Pack 4
    a 6.5/10    … Expand
