LEGO Party! Reviews
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.
What holds it back is both how closely it adheres to the Mario Party formula, and how rough and unfriendly the minigames can be from a gameplay perspective, especially for younger or less experienced players. It’s a cute romp, but not all the way there yet.
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 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 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.
It is easy to fall in love at first glance with Lego Party. It is a game that many have unknowingly been waiting for, and its presentation and first impression are on a whole different level. It feels like a perfect match for anyone seeking an exceptional digital party game. However, once the honeymoon phase is over, all the flaws start to appear, and they become too much. Poor controls, extremely small boards, and a mix of mini-games that feel disjointed make this a challenging title to recommend. It has some wonderful ideas and a solid foundation to build upon, but it falls short in executing the details.
My oldest (7 years old) has played countless rounds by himself. We've played tons of rounds together as a family and LEGO Party has been a consistently fun time. I still don't really know what the plot of Ninjago is, but I'm still having a blast playing this virtual board game.
LEGO Party! is a fun title that has a lot of differences from other titles you have played. Some weird comments and bugs pop up, but it's still fun to play.
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.
But how does this new competitor for Mario Party stack up? It’s a solidly good party game that’s well worth its price, with a few minor snags.
LEGO Party proves that brick-based chaos can rival even Mario’s finest. A big personality has entered the room and while it's not wholly original, it's funny, and full of charm. This is a party game worth its weight in studs.
LEGO Party! establishes itself as one of the most solid productions in the modern party game scene. While clearly inspired by the established Mario Party formula, it manages to introduce structural improvements that enhance the competitive component and reduce dependence on luck. The content offering is not extensive, with only four maps and a limited number of modes, but the experience is still complete and well balanced. In short, LEGO Party! is a successful LEGO-style adaptation of the classic party game: accessible, colourful, stable and strongly oriented towards sharing. A title that, while not reinventing the genre, reaffirms its validity and finally makes it available on all platforms, without barriers or access limits.

A lively and charming party game that captures the spirit of Mario Party while adding its own signature LEGO humor and impressive customization options. However, the small number of boards at launch, uneven Golden Brick balance that lessens late-game excitement, and repetitive minigame selection hold it back from reaching true party game greatness.
LEGO Party is a safe mimicry of the genre popularized by Mario Party, but that’s the exact type of game that non-Nintendo platforms have never seen and desperately needed. While it can’t match the charm of the inspiration it brazenly wears on sleeves, it’s still a respectable party game that actually manages to pin down most of the things that make Mario Party a hit in the first place, all while charging less to boot!
