Press reviews: “I’m glad to see some other games coming out that adapt the formula Jackbox pioneered, and Use Your Words looks like it will be a worthy competitor.” Destructoid “The developers have a knack for humour and it shows. It’s a great counterpoint to Quiplash and fans of those kinds of games will thoroughly enjoy this one.” 8/10 – Gamespew “It's as close to a perfect game in this style that I think you're going to get!” The Party Gamecast 

Notes: While there are adult elements and themes in the game by default, that content can be toggled off with our "Family Mode" setting which filters out suggestive and adult content and makes the game appropriate for mixed company, including children.
