Even just to have for one dinner party or hangout of four or more friends, the entry price is worth it – Jackbox Party Pack 4 is a guaranteed multi-hour adventure into adult fun. But if you tend to classify yourself as more introverted, don’t be afraid to give this game a pass and (instead) join the fun on someone’s livestream.

Critic reviews
- The Jackbox Party Pack 4 delivers an uneven selection of games. Fibbage 3 is predictably still fun with Enough About You being an excellent addition to the formula. Survive the Internet is a major highlight and among one of the best games in the whole series. Monster Seeking Monster is overly complex but can be fun with the right people, while Civic Doodle is passable but never reaches the heights of previous drawing games. Bracketeering, however, is a straight-up dud and one I don’t wish to return to.
- 7.0If you already own a Jackbox Party Pack, then you’re not missing out on much by avoiding Party Pack 4. There’s not a single standout title in the collection that’s worth paying the full price for. Fibbage 3 is great – but doesn’t do much to make it worth upgrading from a previous Fibbage for. If Civic Doodle becomes available separately, then it’s worth grabbing, but it’s not enough to carry the entire collection.
- 7.0The Jackbox Party Pack 4 does enough to warrant another dive into its zany, over the top party game world. The visual presentation is mostly stellar and varied throughout, but of course it comes down to the games themselves. When it's good, it's great - the new Fibbage mode 'Enough About You', refined drawing game Civic Doodle and the fast-paced tournament style Bracketeering will keep any social gatherings going.
- 9.0As usual with The Jackbox Party Pack games, there are a couple of stand out games and ones that don’t quite hit the mark. With the fierce competition of a new Fibbage and new titles like Surviving the Internet and Monster Seeking Monster, it’s Bracketeering and Civic Doodle that come out at the bottom. To say that they’re at the bottom isn’t quite doing them justice though as Jackbox Games have surely raised the bar with this collection of games.
- Each game in Jackbox Party Pack 4 is a winner - something I’ve never said about a Jackbox pack before. These games don’t have convoluted rules and are super easy to jump right into, with each one being a great time even if you’re flailing and not scoring any of the requisite points required to win. The variety also makes it versatile for different groups, and if you’re searching for a solid party game on Switch, this might just be the one to break out during the holidays.
