Released on the same day as the first iteration, the second Jackbox Party Pack has one killer game to have it stand out as the better of the two.

The Jackbox Party Pack Review
With the festive season fast approaching, it’d be worth having a think about getting some games that the family can play while sitting around the TV. We’ve had Use Your Words as an okay early party game offering in the Switch eShop library, while we’ve also already had the third Jackbox Party Pack bundle. Now Switch owners can add the first two games in the trilogy to their library.
36 Fragments of Midnight Review
36 Minutes to play a few times.
Astro Bears Party Review
Astro Bears Party is a competitive party game featuring cute, podgy bears in spacesuits who run around bumping into each other and catching fish. Oh… and one of them is called Neil. If that doesn’t immediately intrigue you then I don’t know what will! Published by Qubic Games (who have an incredible amount of Switch games on the way), Astro Bears Party is hoping to be your next go-to party game – and it may well have succeeded.
PAN PAN Review
A little adventure in a not-so monumental valley.
Robonauts Review
To anyone looking for a tough-as-nails arcade-esque shooter with a bit of pseudo-platforming action, the Switch could have the game for you. Robonauts combines the genres by blending hordes of alien enemies with a terrain that needs a steady jump button finger if you’re going to make it to the end.
Kingdom: New Lands Review
Sometimes, less is more!
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Review
The Dragon Ball franchise is probably one of the most recognised animes in the West – it is over 30 years old and has seen many different video game iterations over the years. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is the first Dragon Ball title to release on Nintendo’s newest console – but will this brawler make you want to become a Saiyan or will it make you say Sayonara? Read on to find out!
Thimbleweed Park Review
Thimbleweed Park was born thanks to a (very) successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2014. Designed by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, the title is actually a spiritual successor to previous games made by the duo – Maniac Mansion, and The Secret of Monkey Island – which were released in 1987 and 1990 respectively. The nods are obvious – the graphics and gameplay are reminiscent of games of this time – and whilst I never had the chance to play those games myself, a quick look online will tell you that players are falling head-over-heels with nostalgia. So far, so good, then.
Rayman Legends Definitive Edition Review
Rayman Legends, the game that wants to be on every console under the sun. Ubisoft now offers up the Definitive edition of an already fantastic game. For the Nintendo Switch every character on previous consoles are available here making up quite the roster and the mini game Kung-Foot gets an added tournament mode and a single player option. That’s it. While these small changes are welcome, they’re hardly definitive.
