"LEGO Party has a soft spot in my heart in this review-heavy year full of hits, where I spent dozens of hours solving puzzles in Blue Prince and wading through the ethereal waters of Lumiere in Expedition 33. It's a great palate cleanser, and a good party icebreaker when most of my friends are late and a couple of guests are just waiting around."
"But most of all, LEGO Party captured my attention at June's Summer Game Fest showcase because, even as a total Mario Party newbie, I was handily able to beat my fellow journalists. While that was great for my ego, what it really signaled to me was that the game is accessible, and good for enlisting friends who only casually dip their toes into video games."
LEGO Party adapts the Mario Party structure into a LEGO-themed party game filled with diverse, surprising minigames from developer SMG Studio. Minigames range from DJing by swinging on a grappling hook to a LEGO-styled Dance Dance Revolution variant. The game emphasizes accessibility and quick learning curves that welcome casual players. It functions as a palate cleanser between heavier games and as an effective icebreaker at gatherings. SMG Studio considers its minigames a studio passion and believes many could stand alone as full games. Showcase performance indicates approachable mechanics and competitive, lighthearted multiplayer sessions suitable for newcomers and veterans alike.
