LEGO Party! Launches on All Major Platforms to Strong Early Reviews

Early reviews call it a creative, customizable party game with some technical hiccups.

Overview

  • The game is out now on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and 4, and Nintendo Switch for $39.99.
  • Initial reception is broadly positive with a Metacritic average around 80, highlighting lively presentation and accessible, skill-focused play.
  • Roughly 60 minigames anchor a Mario Party–style board format that reduces randomness, starts each round with a ranking minigame for turn order, and supports local and cross-platform online play.
  • Progression emphasizes play-to-unlock customization with dozens of starting minifigures and hundreds of parts, and there are no launch microtransactions for items or upgrades.
  • Critiques note occasional input lag or simplistic controls in some minigames, repetitive host dialogue, and performance dips on certain hardware; the title is not on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
