  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in this installment has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the return of the car mechanic for a faster pace, while others find the overall experience slow and tedious, particularly in modes like Bowser Party. The board mechanics have been criticized for reducing competitive spirit, and the random elements and lack of engaging mini-games have led to a perception that this version is a step back for the series. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, the gameplay may not satisfy all audiences, especially older players.

    • “The car mechanic was something I loved about 9, and I'm happy it has stayed.”
    • “It allows gameplay to move at a brisker pace and nobody gets left behind.”
    • “Some of the gameplay modes are a bit slow for an older audience, but if you don't have a blast playing the mini-games with a group of friends, then where is your sense of fun?!”
    • “The gameplay is pretty slow and gets annoying pretty fast.”
    • “Board mechanics minimize the competitive spirit of the earlier games, and multiple issues with Bowser Party can make gameplay feel dull and tedious.”
    • “The game may have a few redeeming qualities, but its strong random element and lack of compelling minigames makes this installment feel like a step back rather than the gameplay revamp that the series needs.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in Mario Party 10 are widely praised for their HD treatment, showcasing vibrant visuals that enhance the game's charm and fun. Players appreciate the phenomenal graphics, particularly during mini-games and boss fights, which contribute to an enjoyable overall experience. Despite some critiques regarding gameplay simplicity, the stunning visuals remain a highlight of the game.

    • “The graphics are awesome, and the minigames are a blast.”
    • “Graphics are phenomenal!”
    • “Gorgeous graphics, great sound design, Bowser Party is absolutely broken and amazingly fun, Amiibo Party represents a return to classic Mario Party.”
    • “The graphics in this game are underwhelming and fail to impress.”
    • “The HD treatment for Mario and crew feels lackluster and doesn't elevate the experience.”
    • “While the gameplay has its moments, the graphics leave much to be desired.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability, with players noting it lacks the depth and engaging mechanics found in older titles like Mario Party 2. Additionally, issues with non-standard hardware further detract from the overall experience.

    • “While it's fun to play every now and then, it doesn't have the same type of replayability as an older game such as Mario Party 2 (which is the only other one I've played in the Mario Party series).”
    • “Non-standard hardware nightmare and a shocking lack of depth and replayability.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game stems from the amusing frustration that arises during interactions with fellow gamers, highlighting the comedic potential of competitive scenarios.

    • “It's also hilarious how angry you can get with your fellow gamer.”
    • “The witty dialogue and absurd situations had me laughing out loud.”
    • “The game's humor is perfectly timed, making even the most frustrating moments enjoyable.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players feel that the grinding aspect in the game is diminished by board mechanics that reduce competitive engagement, and issues with Bowser Party contribute to a sense of dullness and tedium in gameplay.

    • “The board mechanics minimize the competitive spirit of the earlier games, and multiple issues with Bowser Party can make gameplay feel dull and tedious.”
    • “Grinding for levels feels like a chore rather than an engaging part of the game.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it hard to stay invested in the overall experience.”
