LEGO Party lands on Nintendo Switch 2 as the brick brand's first crack at the multiplayer party game genre, and based on this review it holds its own against the obvious competition.
The game runs a virtual board-game format for up to four players, mixing minigames with map traversal across several distinct boards. The goal is straightforward: collect enough Golden Bricks to be crowned the winner. The maps are described as perilous and prize-filled, suggesting the usual chaos and backstabbing that defines the genre.
LEGO has spent years proving it can adapt to almost any genre — action-adventure with LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, racing with LEGO 2K Drive, puzzle-platforming with LEGO Voyagers. A party game was the logical next step, and the Switch 2 is a natural home for it given Nintendo's long history with the format through Mario Party. The comparison to that series is unavoidable, but the review's tone suggests LEGO Party earns its place rather than just riding the brand name.
The review awards it a strong score, calling it a party game that "comes at the party king and doesn't miss" — high praise for a first entry in a new sub-genre for the LEGO lineup.
