All right party game, but gets boring quickly after some sessions.

I like playing silly games with friends and family, especially party games with your phone on the big screen. After Knowledge is Power and a couple of The Jackbox Party Packs, I decided to give That’s You! a try. It was all right, but falls short in comparison to the other party games out there, in my opinion. Not because the games are bad or something, but mainly because it gets boring, really quick.

In That’s You!, you play a variety of different mini games and an algorithm decides which game is played next, depending on the answers and votes of the players. You start with a hypothetical situation, on which you respond by answering questions or draw your response.

You can answer questions like “Who is most likely to….” or “Which player would..”. After that you can play various drawing games, in which you need to draw someone from a selfie as accurately as possible. Or the other way around, taking a selfie that resembles a certain picture. There is also a word game in which players must finish a sentence.

After ten rounds, the final game is played, in which a player has been assigned a certain trait, that other players must draw on his selfie. The player with the most points throughout the rounds, wins the game.

The graphics, animations and art style, are all a little blend. It is the same colours and animations throughout, and most of the graphics come from the ugly faces of the selfies of all your friends and the hideous drawings and d!cks on top of that drawing. Sound wise, That’s You! is not that special.

Just like Knowledge is Power, the animations that play before progressing to the next game or stage, are very slow. When a joker is dropped on an answer for example, the animations of two jokers falling down, rolling around and eventually lay still, takes too long in my opinion. Again, compare this to the Jackbox series, and the difference is night and day.

Although fun for a few sessions, That’s You! gets boring eventually. This is mainly because most of the games are the same idea. Take a selfie and make a drawing in some kind of theme. In my opinion, it lacks the variety that The Jackbox games have for example. Combine this with the blend art style and the slow progression and animations, and I would prefer The Jackbox series over this game any time.

So in the end, That’s You! is certainly not a bad game, and if you bought this one instead of any other party game, I would surely recommend it. For me however, I would prefer the other games I mentioned.
