“Rooftops & Alleys offers a solid foundation, with responsive controls and interesting maps. Remarkably crafted by a solo developer, it's a well-packaged experience. However, limited content and modes make it feel more like an early access beta than a complete game. Still, fans will find enjoyment in its free play while waiting for updates, or perhaps a sequel.”

“As with any Jackbox collection, The Jackbox Survey Scramble includes a mix of engaging and weaker games. The common theme of surveys lends itself to questions that can sometimes be fun but often turn out more ordinary than expected. The more interesting half of the package being only slightly above average does not make it one of the most compelling titles in the series. However, the very low price might justify an impulse buy to liven up a night with friends.”

“Jackbox plays it safe with this adult-oriented collection, featuring two of its most effective games that more than compensate for the weakest new addition. The set only includes three games, which is less value compared to standard editions with five, but the option to use profanity and adult humor formalizes what many were already doing with the games, helping even shy players loosen up and join the competition. Since Jackbox Party Pack 9, the series has been fully translated, including text and voice, into several languages, including Italian, allowing everyone to enjoy it without language barriers.”

“Riot – Civil Unrest is more of a social commentary than a game, using video game simulation to discuss societal issues without imposing a specific viewpoint. It’s not a game you'll spend long hours playing.”

“Pumped BMX Pro sticks closely to its predecessor, resulting in a game that lacks originality and may become monotonous over time. It’s a barely satisfactory product that won't stand out.”
