LEGO Party! Reviews
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.
For Lego’s first party game, Lego Party is a strong entry, with lots of unlockable minifigures, the ability to create your own, and fun, distinct boards to play on.
Overall, if you're looking for an option for date night, family game night or even during your reality-show watch party chit-chat, Lego Party is a great choice for all that will keep you on your toes but not at each other's throats.
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.
