Lego Party Review

Lego Party Review: Breaking a Genre Stranglehold

Let’s get it out of the way now. LEGO Party is Mario Party with a LEGO skin. That fact means that it lacks the charm of recognizable characters and can’t pull content from a legacy dating back before I was born.

On the other hand, LEGO Party is playable without owning a console by an uncompromising, creatively bankrupt, litigious company kept afloat by nostalgia-driven folks trying to relive a happier time. So I have to give it a point in its favor for that alone.

Plate Up Review

Plate Up Review

In contrast to most party games, such as Overcooked. Plate Up isn’t about completing a series of puzzle-like stages. Instead, it tasks you and your friends with running a procedural run-based restaurant where failure means starting over, hopefully with a more successful business plan.

This Means Warp Review

This Means Warp Review

This Means Warp takes two entirely different games and violently mashes them together until they kiss. Take the rogue-lite ship battling of FTL and the frantic relationship-destroying chaos of Overcooked, and you have a rough idea of This Means Warp.

Trash Sailors Review

Trash Sailors Review: Moist and Sticky

It may not seem like it at first glance. But Trash Sailors is very much a party game in the same vein as Overcooked and similar titles. You might be sailing a raft, fighting off pirates and hungry alligators, but crisis management is the name of the game. The crisis is everything, and you’re the management!
