In this game, you start out as a generic hero ready to storm the evil lord Mr. Stiches’ castle. As you approach, a few weak minions prepare for the worst, but one of the minions decides to kill the hero by dropping a chandelier on him! After that, you take control of that minion! When you approach the defeated hero, a talking sword hilt says that now YOU’RE the new hero! But you still work for the bad guy, who tasks you with returning three special stones to the bosses that the original hero defeated. But secretly, the sword hilt tells you to defeat those bosses again and get strong enough to battle your boss and become the Underhero. Underhero is an action RPG game that turns RPG archetypes on their ear, since you are sort of on the enemies’ side! It’s available to download on all current home consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

If you have a bunch of people over to play games, but not enough controllers to play with everyone, then Jackbox has you covered! Their latest batch of party games is out, and all you need are cell phones to play them! Just connect to Jackbox.tv on any phone and enter in the room code and you’re in! It’s pretty simple and works well, and in some games, even people who don’t have cell phones can be part of the audience and participate. The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is available on most anything that can play games, but reviewed on PS4 here. Let’s take a look at all the games!
Tilt Pack (Switch)

Sometimes the simplest ideas can work out great. That’s the case with Tilt Pack, a couch multiplayer game for up to four players for Switch. All you do is move rectangle boxes with faces on them and they’ll flip and rotate as you try and knock the other boxes off the playfield. And that’s it, really, but it’s surprisingly fun. It’s like a sumo match with personified Pong paddles!
Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions (PS4, Switch, PC)

If you like putting together jigsaw puzzles with pieces that look like broken bits of stained glass, then this game is for you! It’s really more of the same from the first game, which I reviewed around this time last year, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to these jigsaw puzzle games. The theme of the last one was world travel, but I’m not sure what the theme is this time. Weird stuff like clowns, jesters, and magicians, I guess. Anyway, it’s available on nearly all current home consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
