I got both What the Dub and RiffTrax. After playing both games, I noticed that the video clips on this game are not properly edited as it's possible to hear bits of the original dialogue after the text-to-speech track is over. This little detail is a total party killer! Not to mention, when playing with the maximum number of players, the game may freeze randomly just before the last round. Before asking for a …

Easy to write off as a one-note poor man's Jackbox, and if you're going by the budget presentation it certainly is. Ten bucks for an assortment of prepackaged public domain cheese? What's stopping you from just getting your friends together for a bad movie night? But there's a secret weapon to Rifftrax: The Game that is criminally undersold, and that's the customization. You can actually add your own clips into the …

This game is something else. First off, if you're looking for a good Jackbox-style party game - this one is a great pick. Even if you're not a fan of Rifftrax - or its inspiration, the legendary Mystery Science Theater 3000 - the basic concept of this title is party game goodness. The premise is simple: each round, a movie clip is shown - a clip from a film the guys from Rifftrax have already mocked in the past - …

The "Write your own riff" mode utilizing text-to-speech is a genius idea and works well enough to get everyone laughing. You can add sound effects too which definitely adds to the hilarity when used right. Best enjoyed with a group of witty friends (either local or on Discord) and laughing at everyone's attempt at humor. Getting everyone to join your game is simple and you can customize how many rounds and how much …

Awesome jackbox like party game, only 1 person needs to buy it and stream it to the boys. The text to speech, make your own riff actually works very well, and can be hilarious. The sound effects are great as well. For the price i rate it a 9/10, just buy it.
