LEGO® Party! Reviews
LEGO Party has everything you need for a raucous evening of minigame amusements. Go ahead and get a few friends over, pop some drinks open, grab some snacks, and relish in one of the coolest party games around.
LEGO Party is a fun party game that does a great job of combining Mario Party-style gameplay with the LEGO brand.
Creative, colourful, and a consistent crack up, Lego Party is purpose-built to turn any boring old night into a block party filled with belly laughs.
LEGO Party! stands tall as one of the best games ever in the competitive board game-style genre. Sure, it's derivative of Mario Party, but it also improves on many games in that series in a multitude of ways.
Lego Party is everything you want for a Friday night in with the family. Silly, funny, and accessible, finally Mario Party has some competition.
LEGO Party! is an amazingly fun party game for fans of all ages. The game is full of LEGO charm, from the set pieces to the minifigs to the in-game commentary from the game show hosts. There are some concerns regarding performance in minigames and a lack of LEGO properties being represented, but overall, this is a must-have for anyone looking to add to their LEGO collection!
All up, LEGO Party is a worthy contender to Mario Party; you’ll need to decide if its strengths and weaknesses appeal to you. With noticeable framerate drops during fly-throughs, even on PS5 Pro, I’m also a bit concerned about how this will actually play on a Switch.
LEGO Party! is certainly enjoyable, there’s no denying that; the huge range of mini games and mini figures encourage customisation, contrasted by the larger than life personality the title oozes. Sadly, the clear derivative gameplay hardly creates anything original, and that means LEGO Party! is left to lean heavily on its predecessors.
Perhaps part of the issue is that I played it on a Nintendo console, when I have the alternative sitting right there on the hard drive. On other platforms that don’t have a Mario Party, I can see this resonating more strongly. Unfortunately, though, I can’t see it being a particularly memorable experience for anyone in the long term.
Undoubtedly one of the best family party games we've ever played, LEGO Party! is beautifully presented and an absolute riot to play. With game boards made entirely out of LEGO bricks and a suite of brilliant minigames, it gives Mario Party a good run for its money.
If you get invited to LEGO Party! then be sure to go because with its incredibly entertaining mini-games and commentators that'll make you crack up as you explore its jam-packed super-silly boards, this is one funky fresh shindig that you won't soon forget.
Going beyond a mere “clone”, LEGO Party! is a great collection of minigames. It makes very good use of the building blocks brand, offering characters and scenarios full of charisma and variation. The same goes for the ambiance, which uses a talk show to bring a lot of good humor to the game. With fun games, especially to enjoy with friends, and great potential, this is a great choice for your gaming library.

LEGO Party is a charming digital celebration with that signature LEGO magic and some fun boards to compete on. It could use more content and polish, but as a party game it’s a solid pick, especially if you don’t own a Switch.

LEGO Party! is not just a copy of Mario Party with LEGO bricks. It has a lot of polish and is a lot of fun to play with other people. It celebrates creativity, competition, and the joy of laughing together. The game is easy to understand yet offers a lot of strategy, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults alike.
Can LEGO Party! Dethrone Mario Party? That remains to be seen, but most likely not, and it doesn’t need to. It could easily stand out as its own franchise with its own unique ideas. Mario Party may have gotten the party started, but the party keeps going in LEGO Party!
LEGO Party is a solid take on the board game genre that rarely works outside of Mario Party itself. There’s a ton to unlock, plenty of LEGO charm, and interesting board themes. It’s definitely got a lot of luck to it, but if you can look past that, you’ll find a great game to play with friends and family here.
It’s disappointing that none of the licenses we’ve seen other in LEGO games make an appearance here, but the game more than makes up for it with the amount of fun and polish each minigame offers, and at $40, I’d definitely recommend this over most Mario Party games, and if DLC comes that does bring known IP to the mix, I just might partake.
LEGO Party! mixes colourful boards, fun mini-games, and LEGO humour into a party game that works both online and on the couch. Customization and crossplay make it easy to enjoy with friends or family, and the chaos never feels stale. It’s light on boards and modes, and announcer lines repeat quickly, but the laughs and competition carry it through. If you’re after a party game that’s fast, funny, and family-friendly, this one delivers.
It might be completely based on Mario Party, but there are enough gameplay elements included in Lego Party to make it feel like an actual proper competitor, and not just a mere clone. To be fair, it actually borrowing a lot of elements from its famous source of inspiration actually made it stand out from the myriad of failed clones released over the past few decades, with just enough of the right innovations added to the mix.
