Instead of calling the police, you decide it’s a better idea to kill everyone – using your faithful knife and the environment. The tactical strategy follows a series of killings at parties through-ought the USA. Party Hard has semi-procedural environments and focus on unique ways of killing people. In the greatest traditions of sneaking games, your main goal is not to get caught, while silently picking off unsuspecting victims one by one. Dancing and blending in during a suspicious situation is key. … Expand

    Party Hard is an arcade game with a great gameplay loop, a lot of challenging levels, and some really fun mechanics to work with. The levels are intensely difficult throughout because you’re always aiming for a clean sweep to succeed. The joy that comes from success is the sign of a level well-played, one where you either planned everything perfectly or were just quick on your feet. It’s that feeling that defines Party Hard, the feeling of succeeding and wanting to try again and do even better. This is sure to hook you if you are in the mood for something a little different, and a little reticent of the days that we all used to spend chasing high scores.

    For those looking for a challenging and different take on both stealth and strategy games, Party Hard is absolutely worth a look. For those without patience or those wanting more of an action title, you might want to decline this party invite.

    With its immense amount of content and a very healthy lifespan, Party Hard is a game that should be on the radar of everyone looking for something with plenty of action and with some unique gameplay elements, with its experience being spoiled only by a long learning curve and a few AI issues.

    The bloody indie strategy game lands on Nintendo Switch while we wait for its second part. Short but fun, especially if you play with a friend.

    This game is just a super-fun good time. The premise is simple: Walk around at a house party (wearing a hockey mask) while you stealthily killThis game is just a super-fun good time. The premise is simple: Walk around at a house party (wearing a hockey mask) while you stealthily kill each party-goer, one by one, without being noticed. You can kill them with a well-timed stab, a poisoned drink, or, in one case, directing them to be a devoured whole by a monstrous creature whose eye-hole doubles as a razor-sharp maw. You can get creative.

    There is a bit of a story to the game, but it's secondary to the satisfaction of wiping out a party of 40 people and then dancing amidst the scattered corpses.

    The game is not without challenge, however, and you will need to restart certain levels many times before you figure out the best way to lead individuals to their demise without getting caught by the police, beaten to a pulp by a hulking bouncer, or killed by a chainsaw-wielding maniac.

    I'd say the only downside is that once you've beaten it and had your fill, there's little reason to play it again, but if you snag it on sale, it's worth the money.    … Expand

    This game is just plain bad. Don't get it. Boycott future games.
