RiffTrax: The Game

This is a fun game. I like making jokes. I just don't like other people making jokes. And then I have to vote. Gosh.

The Gist: You watch movie clips of dubious quality and write or pick a riff of suitable comedic value. The Good - The array of movie clips is astonishing. - There's lots of options to customize your game room to your liking. - There's even sound effects to enhance your riffs. - If one player earns an achievement, you'll earn it too! Though that's probably a glitch. The Bad - Nothing, really. The game does what it set out to do pretty much perfectly, if nothing more. Pro Tip: To actually write or pick riffs for clips, you need to use a separate browser window to open rifftrax.games , where you'll type in your room number and nickname, then you're set!

Fun, funny, & simple. What you see is what you get. Pick from a sampling of soundbites, or write your own riff to be read (poorly) by text-to-speech! Caveat Emptor -- all you can do with the base client is spectate other lobbies/matches. If you want to host your own session or interact (aka: play) it requires a 3rd party site.

A complete rip off from "what the dub" except its not funny at all. My group literally cut our play session in half because nobody was laughing. The clips are awful. And why would you change the voices for the bot so that everyone knows who the bot is? Terribly thought out. They took a great game and somehow made it terrible

I tried it with a few people, but it's only somewhat entertaining and funny. The "Write a Riff" mode uses text-to-speech which has relatively flat tone. Some clips and choices on "Pick a Riff" are probably much more funny if you're familiar with Western culture in specific decades. It's not my cup of tea, but there's no strong reason not to recommend it either, when it's also rather cheap.

Tons of fun if you have some friends with a sense of humor as warped as your own. Ever watch MST3K or watch movies with friends and provide your own snarky commentary track? This game is for you. It has easily become my favorite party game.

yes

Great for everyone, whether they've heard of Rifftrax or not. It's cheap in price, but the quality is great, just make sure your internet connection is strong if you're broadcasting it.

Awesome game for lovers of bad movie and laughs. Great times with friends a plenty

I recommend it not only for its great fun as an online party game, but also for its unlimited potential for modding, meaning you can easily replace the video clips with your own very easily, and have people riff on your own handpicked custom clips!* The developers of this game even ENCOURAGE this sort of modding, and include a helpful tutorial for how to include your own clips in the game's file directory! HUGE RECOMMEND for anyone wanting to get together with online friends during a stream or video call and just goof around making fun of movies and shows, and a HUGE RECOMMEND for the game modding community! The modding community has potential to grow about as big as Rivals of Aether's. *Although with a little caveat: subtitling software is required to make SRT subtitle files to even include riff space easily, marked and timed with a "[Insert Riff Here]", otherwise it won't work. Thankfully that isn't too big of an issue, since Aegisub is free and easy to use for this purpose.
