Part 3 of 8 for my review of every Jackbox Party Pack that has been released on Steam as of August 19th, 2022.

Jackbox Party Pack 3, a very interesting game, where most of the games have a similar execution later down the line.

Quiplash 2, Just like Quiplash XL, you get to put in answers to the question that is proposed, then everyone else votes which one is better. It has more questions, more banter, and overall a lot more fun. (Min 3, Max 8, Suggested 6 or more)

Trivia Murder Party, It's a lot of trivia, but the potentially for not knowing is potential death. It keeps you on your toes and even if you don't know the trivia there is a chance you can still win, I personally like this far more than You Dont Know Jack where its just, who can lose the least in my experience, but the second game of Trivia Murder Party is better, which you can read about in my JPP6 Review. (Min 1, Max 8, Suggested any amount)

Guesspionage, Its another trivia game, but this time is trying to guess the percentage of what people do, like "What percentage of people go visit a brass shop 6 times a year?" The goal for the person who is guessing the percentage is to be as close as possible, while everyone else guesses if the percentage is higher or lower. (Min 2, Max 8, Suggested, 4 or more)

Tee K.O, Draw a tee shirt and try to make it to the top. This game is very very long, about 30 minutes per game. Seeing the designs of what everyone comes up with, and the captions is always a blast to seem the best part is that at the end of the game you can BUY shirts that was made, and get it shipped to your house. (Min 3, Max 8, Suggested, 4 or more)

Faking it (Steam Censored the actual name), The only game that requires everyone to be in the same room, this game cannot work over a stream sadly. Anyways up to 6 people are given a prompt, where you would hold up fingers, raise your hand, or point at someone for the prompt, but someone doesnt know what it is and has to blend in. Its a lot of fun, but requires an in person group, and not via stream. (Min 3, Max 6, Suggested 6)

These games are a lot of fun, an easy buy for anyone who is wanting to get a new JPP game

Part 2 of 8 for my review of every Jackbox Party Pack that has been released on Steam as of August 19th, 2022.

As I am continuing to review every game in every pack, it is time to mention the second game out of the eight that has been released to date.

Fibbage 2, Fibbage XL, but just significantly better. More questions, more trivia, and tricking your friends. It's a blast to have with a decent size group. (Min 2, Max 8, Suggested 6 or more)

Earwax, Think like Cards Against Humanity, but with sounds, one person picks the prompt and everyone else picks 2 sounds to go with it. The issue is that you cant really hear what they sound like until the judge picks it to be heard. (Min 3, Max 8, Suggested 4 or more)

Bidiots, You're a "high class artist" making some "very good art" to the prompt, then everyone gets to bid on it, but there's info that some pieces are worth more than others, the goal is to make a profit and have the most cash at the end of the game. (Min 3, Max 6, Suggested 6)

Quiplash XL, Are you good at making people laugh, intentionally or not, this is probably your best bet. You are given a question where you have to make an answer, going up against someone else answer and everyone votes which one is "better." It's a lot of fun with a lot of people. (Min 3, Max 8, Suggested 6 or more)

Bomb Corp, Easily the most interesting game concept wise in this pack, you and up to 3 others goes try to defuse bombs, but it gets crazy quickly, its either a hit or a miss. (Min 1, Max 4, Suggested 3)

This pack is a step up from JPP1, a buy if there is a sale going on, which is most likely happening somewhere (Check Jackboxgames.com to see)

Part 1 of 8 for my review of every Jackbox Party Pack that has been released on Steam as of August 19th, 2022.

Jackbox Party Pack 1, The game that I have the least amount of time on, and my friends as well. Lets cover the games.

You Dont Know Jack 2015. Its a trivia game, get the most points to win, but note that this is only a max player game of 4. Pretty hard to get friends to play it when the cap is so low.

Fibbage XL. Its similar to You Dont Know Jack, but instead of guessing (or knowing) the answer, you get to contribute false answers, the goal is to make yours believable and to get others to pick your fake answer, get the most points to win (Min 2, Max 8, Suggested 6 or more)

Drawful, Draw something to the prompt, everyone else gets to put in false prompts, and everyone has to try to guess what the real answer is to the prompt you drew. (Min 3, Max 8, Suggested, 6 or more)

Word Spud, I believe this is easily the weakest of the games in this pack, its like cards against humanity to see what you can make work, but its not that fun. (Min 2, Max 8, Suggested, any amount, depends on the people you have)

Lie Swatter, The game if you have a massive party, and I mean it, its a true or false game though. Giving the nature of the game, it is either blind guessing or knowing it. Laughs for sure, and some fact checking, but it doesnt last one. (Min 1, Max 100, Suggested, 10 or so)

All in all, this game is alright, but there are better options to start with, by all means not bad, but there is much better.

While steam only says I have just shy of 13 hours on record, I would say I have closer to 50-60 using OpenRCT2 (more on that in a minute)
This is Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, or RCT2 for short, This is one of the best games in the RCT series, and it shows as well. This review will be separated into 2 parts, the game you get on steam and OpenRCT2.

On Steam, you get the game plus the expansions that came with the game back in 2002-2003. The game itself comes with a scenario editor so you can make your own parks with restrictions as well. This game on steam provides you a lot of entertainment that can last you hours, ranging from completing the challenge that the park sets out for you, to perfecting your craft to get the ideal ride that has good ride qualities.

Go to OpenRCT2[openrct2.org] and download that for RCT2 and you will get the best way to play RCT2 on PC, guaranteed. The project adds new functions for some rides, fixes issues like guests turning right more often than any other direction in a maze (yes thats a real issue), adds multiplayer compatibility, adds twitch interrogation so if you stream on twitch your guest names will be viewers, wide screen support (instead of just 4:3), and so much more fun stuff. If you want to get the millage out of RCT2, this is how you would do it. It's a lot of fun, especially making rides with friends.

Get this classic, 10 USD is worth it on steam, and OpenRCT2 is free, I promise you will be entertained.

If you get this, the AP 700/707/717 EP or the ATS mini mod pack is mandatory, otherwise it ain’t good at all. I echo pretty much everything else that every other negative reviews here say

Its Wallpaper Engine.

This is NOT a game, this is a program to put what ever you desire onto the wallpaper of your computer, laptop, or Android phone (Apple users can go pound sand, which is what I shall do now).

Steam Workshop support, a load of customizability options with those wallpapers, in the even you cant find anything you want on the Workshop, you can make it yourself.

Just a warning though, ultra wide monitors, or monitors that are programmed to be one giant monitor could have issues with scaling, since aspect ratios like 21:9 arent common to see on the workshop.

Yeah I would recommend this program, easily worth the 4 USD price tag

So VRC Devs added Easy Anti Cheat, I really do not like any program that uses Ring Zero permissions on your computer, and you shouldnt either (unless its your operating system like Windows, MacOS, Linux). Let me tell you why. You do NOT want a game to be able to read, write, or outright delete ANY file, and I mean any. There was one game that had an ring 0 anti cheat that when launched, it would delete the windows boot file, thats very bad, like as in, you wouldnt be able to boot into windows bad. It is also a lazy approach to fixing this issue.

Easy Anti Cheat will:
Remove accessibility mods
Remove performance mods
Prevent Linux users from playing (Via Virtual Machine and Proton)
Lower your frame rate

Easy Anti Cheat will not:
Fix the avatar grabbers
Fix the avatar crashers
Fix the base game issues

DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME

This is my Review pre July 26th, 2022 (Below)

If I could give this game a "Meh" or a "Sideways" thumb.
The positives:
You can socialize with a lot of people. I did it a lot in 2020 when this small thing that probably no one heard of called covid-19 to do stuff with friends.
The worlds are very expansive mostly made by the community, either flying planes, playing murder, or vibing in a house, you will most likely be able to find something you like for a world.

The neutrals: You can make your own stuff, but at least for me and probably a lot of other people, I have no clue how to use Unity to make something and I don't have the time to learn either. I would love to learn however

The negatives:
Degenerates, oh man I dont need to go far to find someone with an avatar that is barely clothed and as such very suggestive, for me I went the length and turned off avatars for everyone except for friends. (More in a moment) I have joined lobbies where people who act like they are having a "virtual fun time"
This action was a very good one for me because of toxic groups, there are people who have these modded clients that can grab your IP Address, crash your games with avatars and way back when (this was patched thankfully) quite literally destroy your PC's Graphics Card.
More and more kids, like 7 and 8 year olds are getting into VRC, regardless of my thoughts of what the parents should be doing. I shouldnt join a lobby to have it be a daycare for little kiddos. I find that an issue because young kids are easily manipulated, I shouldnt need to expand regarding that.

Closing out:
(Old) Play this game at your own risk, I heavily recommend coming with a VPN for public lobbies, crank that security level to block anything from other players. If you want a safe experience without needing to worry about most of that, look for a different game.

(New) DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. Easy Anti Cheat isnt worth having in VRC.

This review is for GTA Online only, not for GTA 5 Story mode.

Its not worth it. Promise

Grind, a lot of it

Modders, a lot of them

Grind that can be ruined easily

Toxic Community, bring some bleach for your eyes

Glitches, dont be surprised if the other half of the players that arent modders are using a glitch of some sort

NPCs for missions (grinds) has god mode occasionally and god like aim from a high speed car or helicopters.

If you want to do all of that, then this is the game for you, but for me, Ill play it with Friends or Solo occasionally, everything else I just cant handle because its annoying

Sprocket is a tank builder, its a game that most tank buffs once said "I want to build a tank myself" but never actually wanted to see it simulated, this game gives that to you. This game is being actively worked on by 1 person last time i checked, and since this is in early access, stuff is bound to change, so I really wont touch on that part.

Its fun though, and cursed tanks galore

Papers, Please is a very interesting game in a position that I don't think most of us thought of being in before playing this game.

You are a nameless inspector, in some Eastern Bloc like country named Arstotzka. You have 31 in-game days, during this time you must maintain your family, making sure they are all well, ensuring no undesirables* get in with incorrect documents and servicing Arstozka well.

The game is extremely simple, and SHOULD be boring but amazingly isnt. Remember when I said "ensuring no undesirables* get in with incorrect documents and servicing Arstozka well" 28 words ago? You do this every single game day by processing people, and looking at their documents, checking for inconsistancies, while keeping to the rule book such as "Do not allow people from *Country here*" If it was just passports and a visa the game would get stupid boring very quickly, the game keeps adding new papers, new rules, and events that cut the work day short. The nice thing is that if you get something wrong, the game doesnt end, you get a "citation" and you get 2 warning ones before each following one starts cutting into your savings account. Due to the rather low pay of each person processed, the game insentivies you to go fast to get paid more, but that brings a risk of getting a citation more often.

Play the game how ever you like, you can be a speed demon, getting through as many people as possible each day to get paid the most, or ensure everything is in order to get as few citations as possible (the lowest amount in the entire game you can get is 1 by the way). Speaking of playing the game, you can side with the Eastern Bloc style communists that currently runs Arstotzka, or you can side with that * that appeared twice, lets talk about it. In Papers Please there is this shadowy orginzation called the Order of the Ezic Star, or just Ezic as everyone calls them. They are wanting to overthrow the current government, and for that to be successful, you will need to allow undesirables into Arstotzka, if you do enough of their requests (at least 4 out of 6, one being not possible, more on that later). They will overthrow the government on the last day. I wont tell you what they do, play the game to find out.

There are 20 different endings to this game. Most of them being "bad" endings, and only 3 being "good" endings, the game keeps track of them as well, some of the endings are being jailed, being loyal to the communist party, and running away, and more for you to discover (or look up). This decision enables replaying the game so much to get all of the ending, and achievements that the game has to offer.

Finally, Watch the short film, its really good.

Lucas Pope, I dont know how you made this game so fun, but you did, this very mundane and very boring idea, brought into a specatular game, just like, how. This is a solid recommend for anyone who is wanting to do problem solving, noticing mistakes, and exploring options like side with the state or side with the rebels.

Glory to Arstotzka
