10 Essential Nintendo Switch Games Every New Owner Must Play

5. Jackbox Party Pack 3

Sony's new Playlink tech might be wowing newcomers to the whole 'link your phone and play along' formula, but the Jackbox crew have been innovating and mastering this idea for years.

Comprising a multitude of game modes including the custom question-submitting Quiplash, a nationwide poll-guessing Guesspionage, Trivia Murder Party (where you answer questions to stay alive) and another where you use your phones to design custom T-shirts, if you have even one significant other or friend to play with, the Party Pack is essential.

As mentioned, you don't need the Joy-Cons for it to work - instead supporting up to 8 players (depending on the game mode) by connecting through the Jackbox app. You even get given a 'room code' that lets players join in late to form the 'audience', factoring into a number of questions.

The last - and possibly best - thing about the Jackbox series is host, Cookie Masterson - a self-aware, expertly written comedic force voiced by Tom Gottlieb, easily surpassing Billy West's turn in That's You on the PS4.
