However, his dream quickly becomes a nightmare when King Boo reveals everything had been a ploy to capture Mario and friends. With the assistance of Professor E. Gadd once again, the reluctant and cowardly hero Luigi traverses up and down treacherous floors of the now-ominous hotel on a quest to save them. Wield the upgraded Poltergust G-00 to slam and blow away the ghosts’ defenses, or summon Gooigi, an all-green doppelganger that can help Luigi overcome obstacles he can’t get past alone. Interchange between Luigi and Gooigi as one player, or grab a friend and control one each. For more frenetic multiplayer action, race the timer to clear various objectives on a series of floors in ScareScraper mode.

    It’s clear that a lot of care, polish, and attention went into making it. It looks fantastic, it plays even better, and it’s simply a joy to play from beginning to end.

    This is a huge step up for a franchise that has always been enjoyable but never felt special. Well, Luigi's Mansion 3 is special.

    Luigi’s Mansion 3 is the best in the series, gooey hands down. Its fully co-op compatible story mode constantly delights and innovates, taking full advantage of Luigi and Gooigi’s vacuuming antics, both old and new. Although the dedicated multiplayer modes ultimately aren’t going to sustain repeat visits, they are a sideshow to the story’s main haunt.

    Luigi’s Mansion 3 is marred only by its ease-of-play and its controls (or lack of variant control options), but is still more-than-playable. It is easily the most progressively designed game Nintendo has made from a tech perspective, while its visual design, comedic writing and overall charm scream “classic Nintendo”. Multiplayer and co-op add value, but the true goo here is in the game’s ever-enjoyable single-player campaign that will keep you checking, checking and checking again under that bed, for that hidden ghost, or that hidden treasure.

    Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a nice spooky treat for your Switch. Anyone who loved the original will love this one too, and the game is easily welcoming enough to rope some newcomers into the franchise as well. How could anyone find issue with a game whose menu screen is a Virtual Boy? Ah, Nintendo. You know how to laugh at yourself.

    Luigi's Mansion 3 delivers up to its expectations, and builds on the first two entries in the series. It has the right level of challenge, varied locales, brilliant animation and comedy. The downfalls are that the base game is relatively short and the free multiplayer can get boring after a while. Nonetheless this looks superb right down to the charming characterisation of Luigi's face, or the stunning environments, and it is well worth a buy.

    Luigi’s Mansion’s 3 is my kind of haunted house — a place that’s more funny than scary. For anyone who likes Nintendo games of the Mushroom Kingdom variety there are many reasons to book a stay.

    There have been very few games that I have enjoyed every single second of, and Luigi's Mansion 3 is one of those games. From the graphics thatThere have been very few games that I have enjoyed every single second of, and Luigi's Mansion 3 is one of those games. From the graphics that are so beautiful you feel like you could jump right in, to the exiting return of portrait ghosts, I absolutely love this game. Unlike the second game, you can explore the mansion (or in this case a hotel) without getting booted back to the menu. After you finish a floor, there's even more to do in terms of the floor's boo and 6 gems. So far, I've gotten all the boos, most of the gems, and most of the achievements. Even though I haven't yet collected all of them, each and every one of these gems is an exciting and puzzle that is totally worth combing through every floor for. I only have a couple problems with the game, and they're all relatively minor. One, the beep is too loud when your health is low. Two, in scarescraper, the variety in the bosses is terrible. If they could just add in more bosses at a later date, I'm sure this mode would be perfect. You can only fight boolussus so many times before it gets boring. If you're a switch owner and you have the money, this game is an absolute must buy. But hey, that's only my opinion; I'm just some random guy on the internet.… Expand

It's good mobile butLuigi's Mansion 3 is super polished in every possible way. The style and graphics shine like no other on Nintendo Switch. It's good mobile but if you can play it docked especially for the sound. The sound is very detailed and the soundtrack is awesome. Roaming trough the chambers and levels you just get sucked in the game and it becomes hard to stop playing. There is something to discover all the time. I played for a while ... then my mom started a new save and while watching her playing the game I saw things in the game I missed ... details but funny ones. While playing you WILL be laughing about the poopie pants Luigi is. He is so scared and it's fun, you will kinda feel sorry for Luigi. I fully understand how Nintendo has put their trust in Next Level Games. I think I have about 10 more hours for the playtrough to end but I can already say it is a 10/10 for me.… Expand
