Luigi's Mansion 3

If spooky, cartoony, fun and charming action, full of puzzles and mystery is your cup of tea - drink no further! If you loved the first and second one, jump right in. If you didn't play those, go and play them, then jump right in. This is a perfectly balanced treat for any fan of the cutesy horror, that perhaps only Nintendo can deliver. An absolute joy of a game, you should not dare miss.

Despite some misgivings with the extras, the actual core Luigi's Mansion 3 experience is one of the best adventures of 2019. [Issue #44 – January/February 2020, p. 64]

There is no better example of the boundless creativity of their collaboration than Luigi’s Mansion 3.

The mechanical structure is quite repetitive, but this ghost hunting adventure in a haunted mansion looks and sounds just great. A decent experience throughout, but no stroke of genius like Super Mario Odyssey or Breath of the Wild.

Make no mistake; Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a good game. With a great variety in themes, inventive bosses, and some really cool small ideas that break up the main gameplay elements. There are just a few things holding it back from being great, such as a massive lack of enemy variation and I do feel that at certain points, the games plays it a little too safe at times. Nevertheless, I had tons of fun playing through and it is an easy recommendation to anybody, as it will appeal to so many different people. Luigi is still my favourite Ghostbuster.

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.

Tout simplement excellent... autant dans le gameplay que dans l'aspect visuel et esthétique. C'est un plaisir de jouer à ce jeu et de rentrer entièrement dans cette atmosphère à la fois lugubre et dynamique, aux côtés de Luigi qu'il est bon d'incarner ! Beaucoup de bonnes idées, de surprises, de finesse dans les détails et les décors, et les combats sont très sympas.

It's a decent game similar to 2. But I felt it was kinda slow and some of the areas felt way too short.

Story: 8/10 Gameplay: 8.5/10 Game Mechanics: 7/10 7.9/10 The story was great, but the game mechanics were annoying. I'd like to have more resources in certain areas of the game. The new features of the game were great, enjoiyed the new additions.

Something that started super fun and looking breathetaking, ended up a big disapointment. This game loses all the fun once you start thinking about not missing any gems, vaccuming everything, thinking if u missed something and then once u log back into game, everything u vaccumed is back into it’s original place. I had huge hopes for this games, but all those hiddes places, some places where you just don’t understand what to do, hard boss fights etc… ruined the experience completely. Not returning to this game ever.

Positive: + Good humour. + The animation is nice, but unexpected animation and the 30fps frame rate make control stiff and often frustrating. + Ghosts have more personality than those in Luigi's Mansion 2. + Some floor have interesting puzzles and are fun to explore. Negative: - Controls are more complicated and less intuitive than in previous entries. - Puzzles and boss battles can be extremely confusing even for veteran players. - Exploring the game later on for gems and hidden boos is not funny because all the regular ghosts respawn. Because of this, all the stages of the playthrough feel like a constant chore. As soon as you're having fun with something, the game will ruin the experience somehow. - How worthless E. Gadd Hotline can be. - Unforgiving level design limits experimentation. - It's not as magical as Luigi's Mansion 1 and not as playable as 2. - I found a glitch during the annoying floor 11 boss battle that forced me to restart the game. - More unfair than challenging, more torture than fun and less enjoyable than both 1 and 2.
