Forgotten Playland: Party Edition

I think this game has a lot of potential. Party games that support up to four players and split-screen are always appealing, and the board game format, emote references, and overall presentation make it easy to get hooked. The Bomberman-style minigame is especially fun. I think the game would be even more enjoyable with more game modes and an option to choose which minigames can appear in each round, so players can focus on the ones they enjoy the most. Overall, it’s a very good game, and I definitely recommend it!

I am HEAVILY TORN on recommendation. So please read this fully to understand why. The game is super cute, but there are some aspects that need some looking at. One issue are the bugs that hit at the most inconvenient moments. I was playing alone, against 3 AI, and when the shoot everything game appeared, literally none of my controls would work. So, by default, I lost, and was basically just walking the game through. Other times, it becomes heavily predictable in what is going to happen when you have a potential to get out of last place, and suddenly in your next roll you either conveniently roll a 1 to be eaten by a snake, or you get bombed to be thrown back to be eaten by a snake. Often times, the AI will hit repeated springs to throw them across the board in big ways, while you will be lucky if you hit that spring once per game session. It definitely is not a balanced game play experience. I've also tested this with playing with AI and a few humans. Same scenario. The AI will win, much of the time. Games of skill hardly seem balanced as well, because again, you have AI that seems to be managing to always stay on board, never lose balance, and never get knocked off, no matter t…

This game is so tea! HELLUVA lot more fun than Mario Party Jamboree. From the music, (headphones users, be warned, this game is LOUD when you first boot it up and I say that as someone who's hard of hearing) but besides that, the music is cute, the mini games are so much fun and VERY simple as they SHOULD BE... The descriptions are clear and very beginner friendly. I love the theme with the garden and snakes for the board. I'm looking forward to seeing what other boards will be added to the game (I do have ideas and suggestions). The usual stuff to sabotage your friends and ruin friendships will be expected here but it's all love and fun in party games like this. Devs, THANK YOU for the not fuqin with A.I. in any way shape or form. I cannot wait to play this game with my friends, fellow content creators, and ofc my amazing community. Pat yourselves on the back. You on up there. Nintendo betta watch out!!

This game randomly popped up in my personalized calendar on steam. As a lover of Mario Party, Sackboy, Party Animals and other games of that nature, I had incredibly high hopes that this would be everything I'd been searching for. Unfortunately, I was let down and cannot recommend this game to anyone in the current state. "Forgotten Playland", though it has a lot of potential to be enjoyable in the future, lacks anything to make it stand out amongst the rest. The gameplay isn't incredibly smooth and the board game feature feels very mundane. It's not rewarding in the slightest, and there's very little incentive to play it. As much as I wanted to fall head over heels in love with this game, it just didn't happen. After trying essentially everything in the game (yes, it only took about an hour to do so), I am going to have to request a refund as I don't see myself picking it up again in it's current state.
