    Not the amusing fair you were expecting. This Carnival Games revival is a complete disaster.

    I’m aware that Carnival Games doesn’t need my approval, but even with an open mind, I came away disappointed. I will always think fondly of my time with Wii-era party games and mini-game collections, but the Carnival Games revival will not be my preferred method of reliving that charming and gimmicky time period. Maybe this was a series worth leaving buried.

Sure, there may be good music, but the controls are awful, and there are only 20 games, most of them have to be unlocked with tickets, and the models are inappropriately polygonal for 2018. All in all, stick to Mario Party.… Full Review »
