A bit like Angry Birds, but less physics-oriented. Zeeple Dome has you flinging sci-fi characters at aliens in order to take them out. ![]() This one, however, is much more arcade-oriented, which feels like a bit of a surprising choice for Jackbox Games considering their previous work. The experience that’s furthest removed from You Don’t Know Jack is undoubtedly Zeeple Dome, though it also has a gameshow-type format. Those who aren’t as trivia-inclined will likely not have the best of times with You Don’t Know Jack, and would be better suited for one of the other four games in the pack. It also features the series’ trademark clever question style, though it also requires players to have at least a semi-decent knowledge of trivia to make the most out of it. The gameplay for this edition, subtitled “Full Stream”, is largely familiar to those who played any of the previous ones, but thematically it does focus on today’s media consumption and pokes fun at it. Returning in edition number five is You Don’t Know Jack, the non-traditional trivia game that Jackbox introduced way back in 2011. Although the Jackbox games are designed with local multiplayer in mind (so you have that real life interaction after a round or question wraps up), it can in theory also be played with others who log into your virtual “game room” from another location. Speaking of which, the five games in this latest party pack are best enjoyed with a couple of friends – three out of the five games have a minimum number of three players, but every one of these games gets progressively better when you have more players to share the experience with. ![]() It’s probably not what you bought that Playstation 4 Pro for, but it certainly is a fun way to pass the time with a bunch of friends. The reason it’s such a versatile title is that all of the games on there run through Jackbox’s own online portal – so essentially you’re playing web-based games and using your console (or device) merely as a way of connecting to them. ![]() It doesn’t really matter what you review a Jackbox Party Pack on though, as it’s out for virtually any current system you can think of, ranging all the way to Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. About a year after the fourth edition, the Jackbox Party Pack 5 is now available on a multitude of systems – we’re reviewing it on a Playstation 4. Just when we thought “it’s been a while since we had one”, Jackbox Games has released another one of their Party Pack compilations.
