Jackbox Games, creators of, well, the Jackbox games, have announced the release date for The Jackbox Party Pack 5. The latest in the popular series of games you can play with a group of friends without using controllers drops on a wide variety of platforms, including the PlayStation 4, on October 16, 2018.
Here’s an official list of games and descriptions provided for each per the Jackbox Games website:
You Don’t Know Jack
The pop-culture trivia mash-up YOU DON’T KNOW JACK: Full Stream (1-8 players). The classic returns, full of wild new surprises.
Split the Room
The what-if game Split the Room (3-8 Players). Create strange and divisive hypothetical situations.
Mad Verse City
The lyric-writing game Mad Verse City (3-8 players). Channel your inner MC as a rap battling robot.
Patently Stupid
The competitive drawing game Patently Stupid (3-8 players). Create odd inventions to solve bizarre problems.
Zeeple Dome
The deadliest game show in the Crab Nebula, Zeeple Dome (1-6 players)! Fling yourself at bloodthirsty aliens to win millions of Zubabucks!
In The Jackbox Party Pack series, players can access the game, on consoles, with just one controller used to navigate to the games, and everything else is done through an internet browser via mobile devices or computers. Later entries in the series also introduced the ability for audiences watching through livestreams to interact as well. If that sounds familiar, Sony has a similar line of games in the PlayLink series.
Best PS4 Indie Games and Studios
Indie is a fairly nebulous term (The Witcher 3 is technically indie, after all), but we've gathered a great list of independent titles that you need to play on your PS4.
Supergiant Games
Supergiant Games has a very particular style of art, gameplay, and music, expertly blending every element of their games into amazing experiences.
Bastion
Review
Ported to PS4 after the fact, this was Supergiant's first foray into their unique style, and that narration is incredible.
Transistor
Review
Transistor's notable element is the music, though the art and gameplay all come together in true Supergiant fashion.
Pyre
Review
An interesting departure from previous games, Pyre still retains the classic art, music, and intrigue of previous Supergiant titles.
Giant Sparrow
An indie studio that couldn't have made two more different games, yet somehow each feels so similar. They specialize in emotive narratives across interesting and uncanny worlds.
What Remains of Edith Finch
Review
Tackling the subject of death in a beautiful way, Edith Finch is a fascinating journey that shouldn't be missed.
The Unfinished Swan
Review
A world cast in white, and your only weapon is black paint splatters to view the world in front of you, this game evolves brilliantly as it proceeds.
thatgamecompany
Known for their quiet and simple experiences that draw emotion from deep within the player's own moments with their games, this studio is a PlayStation staple.
flOw
Review
The tranquility of water turned into a game. Originally a PS3 release, there's a PS4 version you can play now.
Flower
Review
Continuing the pattern of soft and soulful games that offer peace and tranquility, Flower is another must-play experience that can often be found for cheap on the PS Store.
Journey
Review
Easily thagamecompany's most well-known game, originally released on PS3, a PS4 release of this incredible title was inevitable.
Nex Machina
Review
Lots of great releases from Housemarque, but Nex Machina was one of their last bullet-hell arcade shooters before they reinvented their studio.
Playdead
Want to mess up your perception of life through deep and thought-provoking games? Playdead has your covered.
Limbo
Review
Limbo is an entirely black and white game where you play as a silhouetted young boy in a world full of nightmarish terrors.
Inside
Review
Inside is a dark and thought-provoking game with a crazy ending that shows that the developers played you the entire time.
A Hat in Time
Review
Hearkening back to classic platformers, it evokes memories of Super Mario 64, but becomes a whole adventure all its own.
Apotheon
Apotheon is basically a side-scrolling metroidvania God of War with a visual style that looks like you are playing it on the side of an ancient Greek vase.
Axiom Verge
Review
Did someone say metroidvania? The best kinds of games, Axiom Verge is an amazing modern amalgamation of classic ideas.
Broken Age
Review
Yup, Double Fine is an independent studio, and people should check out all of their games, but Broken Age is a particularly great point-and-click adventure featuring the voice of Elijah Wood.
Firewatch
Review
A dark sense of isolation, with only your radio companion to be your friend, this is a brilliant adventure unlike many other games.
Guacamelee
Review
Metroidvania. There. I said it again. Guacamelee is a great take on the genre with visuals that pop, and a particular flavor all its own.
Hand of Fate 2
Review
Heart of the cards! What do you get when you mix a tabletop RPG, text adventure, and a deck of cards? Hand of Fate 2 will test your destiny.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Review
Ninja Theory isn't indie anymore after Microsoft bought them up, but Hellblade is still technically an indie release by the studio. It's an independent game that gives triple-A experiences a run for their money.
Hotline Miami 2
Review
It's hard to call this one indie, as it's published by Devolver Digital, but I like it a lot, so it made the list. Brutal and arcadey, and also full of deep story that makes you think, it will have you swearing at every tough run.
Never Alone
Review
A beautiful Inuit adventure featuring a girl and a white fox, this is another unique and heartfelt indie game.
OlliOlli Series
Review
Reinventing the skateboard genre, this addicting arcade side-scroller demands to be played and replayed.
Outlast Series
Review
How terrifying can an indie horror game be? The most terrifying, as it turns out. This dark series from Red Barrels set a new benchmark for horror.
Oxenfree
Review
Another unique adventure that delivers a deep and thought provoking message, indie games can usually tackle these sensitive kinds of subjects more intimately than bigger titles.
Rez Infinite
Review
Rez Infinite can easily be described as an almost religious experience, and it's even better when experienced in VR.
RiME
Review
Exploring the stages of grief, RiME is an amazing game that can easily evoke tears from anybody that plays it. Are you man enough to embrace the emotion?
Rocket League
Review
Forgot this one was an indie, eh? Well, despite its success, it is definitely an independent title.
Rogue Legacy
Review
A melting pot of roguelikes and metroidvania, Rogue Legacy is an addicting die-and-retry game that begs for just one more run.
Soma
Review
Another round of indie horror, psychologically terrifying, it will leave you with nightmares long after you are done.
Stardew Valley
Review
The popularity of the simulation and farm management style games led to Stardew Valley's explosive success, despite not having a major publisher backing it.
Superhot
Review
It's a first-person shooter where time only moves when you do. Better still, there's a VR version too!
Tacoma
Review
Existentialism and the human condition are explored on a deep level with this deep and thought-provoking indie space adventure.
The Little Acre
Review
A tiny point and click adventure, with a style that screams classic Disney animation. The only downside is that it ends all too soon.
The Magic Circle
Review
Want a strange commentary on game development? The Magic Circle is an insane glimpse into the industry.
The Sexy Brutale
Review
Groundhog Day meets murder mystery, The Sexy Brutale will have you reliving the same day over and over again as you attempt to save lives and figure out the wider mystery.
The Swapper
Review
Want an existential crisis? Play The Swapper. What does it mean to be? Who am I? Is my identity linked to my body? The Swapper asks these very questions while you solve puzzles using those mechanics.
The Talos Principle
Review
Another existential game that questions the meaning of life while having the player solve puzzles, with a brilliant ending.
The Witness
Review
In my opinion, The Witness is the best puzzle game ever. The experience unfolds in such a way that it evokes additional thought through every discovery you make.
Thimbleweed Park
Review
Both a callback and a parody of classic adventure titles, this Ron Gilbert adventure is like something straight out of the '90s.
Thumper
Review
A driving rhythm game that can also be played in VR.
Yoku's island Express
Review
Pinball meets metroidvania in this amazing open-world pinball adventure.
