ACT IT OUT XL! A Charades Party Game Reviews

The worst "group game" I have ever played on twitch. It's even worse than the Gartic that my stream doesn't enjoy (secretly, I quite like it - (the Gartic game that is, not this abomination)) This is basically charades, but I would have had a better time, just coming up with films and songs that i enjoy - and having a chat with my audience (except Jenx, he hates films. And Dean - he's young) In fact. we wrote this review live on twitch. and tbh, we had way more fun doing this. I reckon we'd have had more fun livestreaming a root canal. Em likes pink btw. How on earth, can you ruin charades so badly? It didn't connect to twitch properly. all of the prompts were stupid (Beadle's About FFS!) Persontypething almost never has strong opinions and even they hated it! JJlass1 got so bored, she started playing the clicking chicken game on her cellphone. And she's almost never bored of dogbomb's streams. This is worse than skate bird. Why are there bell sounds? What does it mean? We thought it meant people were getting the correct answers. I suspect it is more to try and keep us "captivated". It's ruined Oztralia's christmas. And his dad drowned. My audience, the Daddy Gagglers, would prefer me to talk about my vacuum cleaner. Again. Please, improve this game. My first suggestion would be to remove it from sale. Instantly better. Bang.

I cannot get this game to work as a live streamer on Twitch. The camera won't work as it's being used in OBS (the game says as much but doesn't offer any solutions to fix it) and the connect to Twitch option is broken too. I've spent hours trying to find a fix online and on YouTube - way longer than should be necessary. It's really too bad because it looks like a fun game... when it works!

Great game for the family and friends! I love interactive games and found this the best game out there for parties and get togethers. It is simple to stream and anyone can do it! EVEN ME! The devs do a stream of their games on twitch. Massive credit to the devs! (You can thank me later)

Cute game especially with Twitch integration. It's fun and the fun part is when the chat types the answers it is recognized by the game. Twitch streamers this is a must have!

Although it does bundle all the ways you can play charades into one program I feel that it may be bloated and not as 'snappy' that it can be. There are similar games by different developers that are much better and would let you create word lists before hand instead of putting in a single word each time a round starts.

This game has taught me that my chat really likes how bad I am at charades. Playing ACT IT OUT XL! results in some truly ridiculous flailing and gesturing and exasperated hilarity. Twitch integration works flawlessly for me as well. Correct answers by chat are picked up almost immediately, and there is really nice leeway in detection of correct answers, for example when there's a slight typo or if the answer is just missing the word "the" or something. Great game!

I'm not the most creative of people but this game helped me do something different with my viewers getting them involved, the game itself is well thought out with the layout and how the viewer interactions/scoreboard works. It would be nice to see more people play this game so I could sit on the other side of the game!

By far the most fun interactive game i've played. The fact that it connects with twitch chat really makes viewers get competitive and the whole experience is exciting and funny. 10/10 recommend

This is a great interactive game to play with your community. I play Act It Out XL on Twitch and my community loves typing the answer into chat. If you plan to stream the game, make sure you use "game capture" and the game will work well. I'm using PC with Steam, obviously, to play the game, streaming through OBS and it works great! Lots of fun and very creative. I can't wait to make some of my own prompts and make other players join me in the action on discord!

I originally bought this on the Wii U and one feature that was missing there (but is here and in the PS4 version) is the connectivity to Twitch, Mixer and YouTube. Let me just say first of all. This is great fun with friends and family and works as a brilliant couch-play / party game. But for me, the real fun is being able to stream it. Casually making a fool of yourself is what the internet is all about and I'm pleased to say that I had a great first stream with this. The viewers were engaged and having a good time, and playing the game is easy, easy, easy. The variety of clues and modes (acting it out, singing, describing and drawing) means that the game doesn't get stale - and as the host you get to set the rules, how many points people need to win etc. It has a friendly, charming interface and is a lot of fun. Think of it this way - you'd probably spend as much for this game if not more buying a board game such as Pictionary or Articulate. My tip? Save yourself the hassle and money and have a lot more fun with Act It Out! XL instead.
