The hilarious co-op party game from LEGO has just received a big update. Featuring new minifigures, additional levels and loads more as well as bug fixes and performance improvements, this is definitely an update to check out – and it comes just in time for Christmas party game fun. Let’s find out exactly what’s involved as the LEGO Party update v1.3 goes live.
We reviewed LEGO Party when it came out, and we absolutely loved it. You can read the full review here. We are hugely excited to see that one of the things we commented on within the review has now been adjusted. We noted that some of the jokes came across quite harshly, which upset one of the younger members of our review squad, and as part of this new update “Ted & Paige got a formal warning about some of their jokes, they will be less mean spirited from now on“. Great news!
