What The Dub?! similar games & best alternatives

What The Dub?!

Mac, PlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), Nintendo Switch, Xbox One • 2021

Should you play it?

What The Dub?! is a multiplayer party game where each player overdubs missing dialogue from hilariously awful B-movies, outdated PSAs, and bizarre industrial films, with their own witty (or just plain stupid) dubs!

What works
  • Highly creative and humorous gameplay
  • Strong social and party game appeal
  • Workshop support for custom clips extends longevity
  • Easy to set up and accessible to all players
  • Good value for price with frequent updates
Things to keep in mind
  • Limited player count for active dubbing (max 6)
  • Some technical issues with website and voice options
  • Repetitive clips can occur without custom content
  • Host's negative commentary can feel mean-spirited
  • No voice recording, only text-to-speech dubbing

How to use the graph
Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the same motivation profile as in the “Why this game works” section below. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot for a screenshot preview, score, and top score gaps; click to compare in the panel on the right.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

What The Dub?!: Less representative of its motivational profile, with noticeable differences. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Survival, Violence, Competition, Thrill. Here, the score leans higher than usual among comparable games on Competition, Fellowship. It leans lower than usual among comparable games on Story.
