If you've bonded with the series before then it's a small concession to make. However, for first timers, Mario Party 10 isn't the immediate smash hit you may be expecting off the back of Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8.

Mario Party 10 can be fun, but it can also be downright insufferable
'Mario Party 10' attempts to bring together a mix of old and new ideas in order to carve out a renewed identity for itself, encountering just as many stumbles as successes.
Despite its flaws, it's hard not to have fun with Mario Party 10 in small doses. Obnoxious amiibo functionality and an overall lack of variety make it hard to recommend to anyone who's not already a fan of the franchise, but those who enjoy a bit of Mushroom Kingdom chaos with friends might just find reason enough to give it a shot.
In the end, if you have siblings or friends who you could play against, Mario Party 10 can end up being a roaring good time for a while.
By yourself, however, I would recommend either skipping it altogether or at least know you are dipping into a more minimal title.
