  7.0

  Overall, The Jackbox Party Pack 9 is average, so if you're looking for new material for virtual get-togethers, this is a serviceable option. Fibbage 4 is dependable, and Junktopia was a pleasant surprise. The enjoyment of Nonsensory and Quixort is heavily dependent on the prompts that players receive in each of those minigames.

  All in all, The Jackbox Party Pack 9 is an entertaining package offering decent variation between its five games. Even with the one misfire, there’s plenty of fun still to be had sorting, lying, selling trash and… communicating range through words and images.

  It feels like a videogame version of The Circle in some regards: played like a reality TV show, each player takes on a persona, and answers questions/interacts with others as that persona. Win people over and you’ll go far. Displease your opponents, and you’ll get voted out.

  Overall The Jackbox Party Pack 9 is an excellent addition to the series. There is definitely more good than bad in this edition and fans will be pleased. The only real missing piece is a strong drawing game; there is a round of drawing in Nonsensory, but it's not the focus and definitely doesn't hold a candle to past games like Tee K.O. or Jackbox 8's Drawful: Animate.

  Jackbox Party Pack 9 is a blast. Where it’s original, it’s great, delivering all the fun games and twists that we expect from Jackbox. When it reminds you of other Jackbox games, it’s always a favorable comparison.

  The Jackbox Party Pack 9 shows that even after 9 years of releasing mobile-based party games that the team at Jackbox Games is still coming up with unique iterative spins on previous games while creating brand-new concepts.
