Happily, I can report that it's all chaos in the best possible way. [May 2018, p.78]
For about $20 USD, Frantics will provide gamers and non-gamers alike something entertaining to do at a get-together without burying their face in a small screen.

Funny, Funny, very Funny!!! I received it through a “PS+” subscription and was even upset at first, and then every party either went to it or to the UFC. This is an extremely high-quality product, although you know who Sony is)

Frantics is a game for those who enjoy the casual style of gaming. Thanks to PlayLink, the few minigames that Frantics has are very fun and entertaining.
Although it’s not exactly the title that’s going to make this whole PlayLink experiment the next big thing, there are enough positive qualities here for me to recommend the game to anyone who is a fan of the genre.
It might not be too innovative, but Frantics provides an enjoyable party experience that Sony's PlayLink service has been lacking. It certainly isn't a killer app, but the fun variety of minigames and its (mostly) responsive controls show how much of a good time PlayLink can provide when it's properly used.
Quotation forthcoming.
Instead of being a true fun and accessible Mario Party-like game, Frantics remains an inconclusive attempt to make us laugh. Correction. We laugh, but at the game, not with it.
It's the best one out of all the Playlink titles. The clay-like art style is just beautiful, the characters are awesome and the cheeky, evil fox is like a cherry on top. In the past I used to put jackbox on to break the ice at parties, but this one does even better job as it really helps shy people to warm up (while jackbox works only on charismatic people with sense of humor or it is just lame ). Might not have a lot of mini-games but they are just different enough to mix it up. I love the tutorial lady accent, it's well cute and fits the general game style. Also the price is a great value for money.

This is absolutelly perfect game.. BUT... for very specific use cases. So if you are looking for "game for gamers" this will not enterntain you very much. But if you want to have fun with bunch of non gamers, this is great solution. Minigames are simple (even non players understand them), it is controlled by the phone (you dont need 4 controllers for everybody to join), it is quick (easy to enjoy in 30min bursts). And even localized to many languages, so you dont need to speak english.
So do you want to play something great with your gamer friends? Dont touch this. Do you want to include your 70yo mom and 5yo cousin who dont speak english? Pick this one.

Boring and too primitive casual-not-game. Especially on ps4. Especially in Russia.

Summary Arcade style fun and madcap mini-games are all the rage in Frantics, where you and up to three friends have to face off in a variety of challenges.
