The I Ith will be the first Party Pack with completely new games, although four fall into familiar genres, with something for everyone

What's in the 'box?

Doominate

An evolutionary descendant of Jackbox's own Quiplash, in which you're provided with a text prompt and asked to write your own punchline, which is then put to a public vote. Here, the prompt is something pleasant (for example, “a brand-new Mario game…”) which you must find some way to ruin ("...with the voice and face of Chris Pratt", say). While this gives you a baked-in joke format, it gets twisted around in later rounds. In the grand finale, you're hit with old prompt and punchline pairings and challenged to find a way to 'unruin' them, encouraging the creation of inside jokes and layered callbacks. Now, how on Earth are we going to fix Pratt Mario?

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Street Fighter 6

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.
