LEGO® Party! Reviews
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.
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.
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. 🥳
The variety of mini-games, the easy pick-up-and-play controls, and the all-ages appeal make this one a winner. If you’ve got friends or family to play with, LEGO Party is a brick-built blast.
After spending the past week jumping across platforms, battling it out on pirate ships, swinging through caverns and operating LEGO cranes, I couldn’t be more impressed. LEGO Party clicks into place perfectly — a new party favourite in my household.
LEGO Party is pretty darn good. Sadly, there are some shortcomings that will probably hold LEGO Party back from definitively stealing market share from the competition, but I am positive that there will be plenty of people that prefer LEGO Party. LEGO Party is a bonafide competitor to the Mario Party series. For a first entry, LEGO Party is a delightful surprise and has the foundations needed to become a stalwart in the party scene. With a little more variety with boards, mini-games and Lego themes, LEGO Party could prove to be a force to be reckoned with in the future. When you combine the quality and the price point, as well as being available everywhere with cross platform play LEGO Party is sure to cause disruption in the genre.
Yes, LEGO Party! is a lot like Mario Party, sure, but they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If you’ve played and enjoyed Nintendo’s party game series, you’ll be pretty comfortable here. As someone who doesn’t suffer from any ‘Nintendo Nostalgia’ related maladies, I do think it’s a smarter game, if perhaps, a slightly meaner one.
