Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Even with its technical drawbacks and its disgraceful design choices to the side, Party Arcade just isn’t fun. Most of the party games included are either too tedious, too repetitive, or too frustrating. Furthermore, the game demands far too much of a grind from its players in order to access more content, likely put in place to encourage the purchase of its needless microtransactions. This is little more than a greedy and desperate cash-grab. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Party Arcade offers replay ability thanks to its offline and online games and challenges, and when played with family or friends it makes for a decent party game for players of any age group. Party Arcade is a game that is a mix pot of games, but it also became quite clear that the game isn’t as bad as other reviews I had seen for other platforms. When played with friends and family you do find a lot of fun and enjoyment in this arcade style. I enjoyed the overall experience and time with the game although it can become a but **** to collect the tickets to unlock your favor skins or items for you favorite games there is a variety of offering for you to tackle. Achievement hunters will rejoice in the quick 800 gamer score but be warned the final achievement for unlocking all store items is quite a grind. In the end Party Arcade offers you fun variety and doesn't take it's self too seriously which isn't necessarily a bad things for a game thats fun for family and friends of all ages. If your looking for a game with many experiences packed into one this just may be your "ticket". »
