The Jackbox Party Starter Critic Reviews

The three games here are tried, tested, and proven, and if you want the best the Jackbox series has to offer, you’d be hard-pressed to come up with anything better.

The Jackbox Party Starter does a great job of introducing players to the party game phenomenon. The choice of games is bang on, and it provides more than enough to help people decide if this is a series they want to party on with.

These improvements are nice, but they don't justify anyone buying the same mini-games again, and newcomers would arguably be better off going with a different entry in the series instead. There's nothing wrong with The Jackbox Party Starter content-wise, but it's hard to see its appeal when one would be better off spending slightly more to get a proper Jackbox Party Pack game with more mini-game options.
