The Jackbox Party Pack 10 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Jackbox Games first grew to popularity in 1995 with their PC trivia game You Don’t Know Jack. They’ve developed tons of party games since then, which have been collected on modern consoles as The Jackbox Party Pack series. The Jackbox Party Pack 10 is now here, and it’s got 5 new games for half the price of a single triple-A release. Is this latest installment worth your time and money? Absolutely.
The Jackbox Party Pack 10 offers up mostly new games with one returning title. These games are some of Jackbox's best in a while and are sure to leave your party in stitches.
As of recent years, the release of a new Jackbox Party Pack seems to be an almost annual tradition, and I’m absolutely here for it. After the original You Don’t Know Jack titles took root in my brain, it’s become an anticipated event when the team at Jackbox cobbles together a new collection of party games. Like so many, I have my favorites and my counter opinions (Party Pack 3 is fine but overrated), but it never stops me from wanting to grab the latest installment when I can. I was a ...
Jackbox Party Pack 10 is one of the stronger entries in the Jackbox pantheon, and I'm a big fan of it as a whole. Each game has its own pacing, and while I do think everyone will find their favourites as always, the mix feels very good this time around, and even the trivia game is fun. This is a great party pack that'll be a good addition to any game night. Apart from Dodo Re Mi – I hope those digital birds stay eaten.
Overall, the five games on offer in The Jackbox Party Pack 10 represent a nice variety of experiences with some genuinely interesting innovations and ideas. Crucially there's no total stinker in the mix, with only Timejinx feeling a touch bland. FixyTest holds up the stupid, pointless chaos end of the bargain while Tee K.O. makes a fantastic comeback and Dodo Re Mi proves that Jackbox can do real-time gameplay. Just give yourself time to properly figure out Hypnotorious before you write it off entirely.
I’d kill for a Jackbox Party Pack launcher, from which I could launch whichever games in packs I already owned during gaming sessions, rather than having to both remember which pack they were in and then launch that pack’s interface. In fact, I’d pay for just that alone, Jackbox Games. How about it?
Jackbox Party Pack 10 is a fun addition to your party game rotation, with great mini-games like Dodo Re Mi and Timejinx you are sure to have a great time! The Hypnotorious game was a miss for us.
My friends and I also had regular disconnects from games, and it can be frustrating as these experiences can last 10-20 minutes at a time. My sister also had issues connecting to Jackbox.TV at first due to having a VPN on, which could be a hassle for many. Additionally, questions popped up multiple times, and I had to give the answer to my friends playing with me to keep it fair
The Jackbox Party Pack 10 is here and you'd figure it would be something special so let's see if it's worthy of a celebration.
The Jackbox Party Pack 10 succeeds or fails based on the number of local players you have at the ready (up to 9). If you've been following the series since the
Either the novelty wears off after only a few sessions (Dodo Re Mi, FixyText) or the game simply runs on too long (Hypnotorious), and Tee K.O. 2 is exactly what it says on the tin with only minor improvements. With everything accounted for you’re still in for a fun time with friends, but it nevertheless remains a weaker experience compared to previous Jackbox offerings.
Party Packs are nothing if not entertaining, but the tenth instalment only has a couple of titles that you’re likely to return to. Some players will enjoy this more than others, but it’s hard to recommend it over earlier packs in the series.
