Alright I was originally hyping this up, but I've been thinking about it...

First of all, Fibbage 4. While admittedly not my top fibbage (I actually prefer 3 more), 4 has one of my favorite artstyles, topping at second at one point out of any fibbage EVER. It's amazing. I love it so much.

Second of all? Junktopia. Remember Patently Stupid? Well now the items make themselves. Or you can make them yourself too, if you want. THEY TURNED A DRAWING GAME INTO A WRITING GAME. Nobody plays this enough, I swear. It is sorta outclassed by Patently Stupid, though, and considering that's in 7... I can see why not a lot of people play this. Still, great for people like me who freaking SUCK at art.

Now, here's the problem. Quixort is good, but is a lot better (read: really good) when you're alone. And nonsensory is kinda... not great designwise? Like it's a full scale that from testing pretty much only ever uses the top half. So... yeah.

...I still have to give this a Y though, for one simple reason:

Roomerang.

I freaking love Roomerang. So much.

During the like.. about a year after pack 9 came out, I spent hours browsing twitch for winner picks game streams solely to play more roomerang.

I love reality shows, PARTICULARLY big brother which roomerang parodies. I love playing big dumb characters, and the gimmick is cool. Also, the ending theme I no joke for the past month have been playing on loop.

I love Roomerang. I love Pack 9.

The problems are there, and quite frankly I do not give a single fuck.

S tier. Or something.

Y.

...Wow.

I forgot the actual contents of this pack until now. Now I remember why.

...There is absolutely nothing here.

it says something when WHEEL is your high hitter. Now, granted, Wheel rules, but it's not exactly the kind of thing I'd expect to be... headlining a pack? But whatever, good game, what else is-

oh.

Drawful Animate is more drawful. But with more stuff you have to draw. And also it's kinda bland and uninteresting. And also you have to draw two images at once. And also it takes longer.

...Fun.

Poll Mine is actually surprisingly fun, but is built in such a way that streamers actively choose the shittier mode and is also TEAM BASED so you can LOSE without ACTUALLY doing anything wrong. And, like, not in a fun way. Again, twitch player here, so I might be a bit biased but, yikes.

Job Job encourages you to just spit the most dumb brainrot shit ever imagined by man onto a piece of paper and hope it works.

Seriously, there was a point where I just got the word "9/11", used it three times in a row, and it won.

...Fun.

And then there's Weapons Drawn.

Literally unplayable. I'm sorry to Zeeple Dome, Lie Swatter, freaking whatever comes after this, this game is LITERALLY unplayable online

you can draw whatever and you're DISTINCTLY encouraged to obuscate your art.

The best way to tell how good a game is is how often its' played on twitch streams.

No lies: I was on twitch the DAY OF RELEASE of Pack 8.

...i STILL, to this freaking DAY, have not played Weapons Drawn.

...That is all.

Edit: I forgot how peak Wheel is, actually.

Upping this to N?.

Another banger. Another banger by the odd numbered Party Packs.

Devils. Quiplash 3. Champed Up. That may legitimately be the single greatest headline section of any party pack. AND NOTABLY, there are absolutely no misses here. EVERY. SINGLE. OTHER. PACK. THAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT SO FAR. I can confidently say has one game that ABSOLUTELY sucks. According to some reviewers, that's Devils. But that's only if you're playing with your friends. Me? I have no friends ;). So I can confidently say devils not only DOESN'T suck, but is REALLY FUN ACTUALLY MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY ACTUALLY SPINNING WITH YOUR FINGER NEXT TIME IDIOT I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Anyways, this pack rules. Easy dub.

this one is 1000% me, but...

6 never hit for me like it did for others.

Maybe it's because the Jackbox mood never really fit the mood for Push the Button, the game EVERYONE fucking loves from this pack, but that... quite frankly, I never vibed with like everyone else did?

Maybe it's because I primarily play these on Twitch (actually I pretty much ONLY play these on Twitch now), and Role Models requires you to really KNOW who you're playing with?

Maybe it's because there's only really three hard hitting ones here and two GIGANTIC misses (I mean, Joke Boat is PRIME Twitch stream bait but by god it gets grating FAST)?

I don't know. I don't like it, tbh.

Not straight N?ing it, because THIS PACK HAS TMP2 in it, but... even then, that's just MORE tmp. There's nothing really setting it out outside new minigame and new aesthetic and new lore, you feel?

Is TMP1 better absolutely not, but is TMP1 absolutely and utterly outclassed? I'd say no, because that comes in Party Pack 3 which has 3 other amazing games, as opposed to here where it's doing a LOT of heavy lifting.

So yeah, N?. That's legit how I feel about this.

3 is THE best pack, no questions asked...

...but this is MY best pack.

Mad Verse City. Split The Room. YDKJ Full Stream. Patently Stupid.

These four games are a complete Jackbox package.

Zeeple Dome is the worst game in the series from a gameplay perspective, but even it doesn't bring down a BRAND. NEW. YOU. DON'T. KNOW. JACK. GAME.

I love YDKJ so much. It'd be like if a new Ratchet and Clank contained within it a new Sly Cooper.

Like sure, I don't mind Ratchet and Clank, they're good, but:

A BRAND NEW SLY COOPER GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Long live Party Pack 5.

Long may it reign.

honestly looking at it now 2 is highkey fucking garbage.

2 is what people think 1 is.

quiplash XL is outclassed by the other four versions of quiplash, fibbage 2 is outclassed by fibbage 3 and even arguably fibbage xl, bidiots is actually really fun but suffers from a game breaking bug if you actually play it the way its' intended that literally FREEZES THE FUCKING GAME AND FORCES YOU TO STOP PLAYING IN THE MIDDLE (the end of many a group get together of mine back in the day), bomb corp just straight up doesn't work as a concept, and earwax. no lies. my least favorite actual jackbox game (I'M LOOKING AT YOU LIE SWATTER) in the entire series. (haven't played anything from 9 or 10 though, so I'll get to you on that) earwax is awful. there is no punchline you just get the best sounds and you win. it is literal luck of the draw. I hate it so much
