There’s not too much to explain about Drawful Animate if you’ve played another game in the series. Still, ideas can come to life, even simple ones, with just a bit of action. As such, yeah, there’s more drawing work to do. Drawful Animate brings two-frame animation to the well-worn Drawful formula. It’s the drawing one! You knew there’d be a drawing one. These joke games have always been great for the jesters in your play group, but Job Job does a lot to keep everyone else engaged too. Whether you’re searching frantically for a preposition or taking advantage of your friend’s extended boat metaphor, it’s hard enough to make coherent thoughts! And that means they’re sometimes funny without a lot of trying. It’s this limitation that makes Job Job shine. Or, rather, all the words? You respond to prompts only by dragging and assembling words from other players and the game itself. Instead of Quiplash or the inconsistent Joke Boat, this challenge helps players along with providing some words. So Job Job is the head-to-head, joke voting representative. There are certainly archetypes for Jackbox Party Pack games, and the new installment follows them! Even through fresh ideas. Whether in-person or through video call, this is how most purchasers will likely play. While there will be plenty of coverage of this pack’s large-group streaming capabilities, this review will, for the most part, focus on the experience for average players.
The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is the first one fully developed in these conditions, and its collection of games feels like it wanted to be deeper and more involved to fit in a little better. And, perhaps most importantly for this installment, the world has become much more about video calls than house parties. New games have moved from the obvious to the truly weird. And in so many ways! Iteration has taken barebones ideas to something decidedly more complex. Are we really to Jackbox Party Pack 8? Yep, we’ve seen a lot of these over the years, but the nature of these packs has evolved.
