    I was not a fan. In LM3 the gameplay is fairly simplistic where you stun and capture ghosts like a ghostbuster, but the boss fights can be challenging and often involve some puzzle-solving.

    I was not a fan. In LM3 the gameplay is fairly simplistic where you stun and capture ghosts like a ghostbuster, but the boss fights can be challenging and often involve some puzzle-solving.

    Nintendo's usual quality is on display here. There is a lot of experimentation interacting with the environment that reminded me of the Lego games. There is a good amount of creativity in the various levels, alternating between different themes and mission designs. Yet I was only mildly engaged, and it's hard to articulate why I didn't have much fun playing this game. Ultimately it is because I experienced more frustration than joy.

    Targeting is a bit of a pain, since you control your character's aim similar to Resident Evil 1 where you swivel your character like a turret. There is an absolutely terrible level where you are in the water on an innertube that was more frustrating than anything I experienced in Elden Ring. This is my first Luigi's Mansion game, and I have no interest in playing another.

    Luigi’s Mansion 3 is the most fun Nintendo game I have ever played. Every level is such a joy to walk trough. It is like unwrapping an animated Nintendo Movie with an own identity on each floor. The boss fights are challenging and until the last level the attacks of the enemies are varied. At the wnd this is a must play for young and old Nintendo players!

    Pros: - Level design - Boss

    Playing time, about 10-15h

    Vacuum Cleaning is fun. It has some interesting mechanics, both in the vacuum cleaner upgrades as well as other skills of Luigi.

    Difficulty increases after a few levels/floors, rather too hard for kids. Many puzzles are fun, but some are hard to figure out on your own, which is a bit frustrating.



    The controls are rather poor, which could have been done much better.

    Cannot recommend this tragedy of a game when it doesn't have ANY settings. You are forced to use inverted camera controls, and remember - there are no settings to change that behavior. I wouldn't play this for free, not to mention spending any money on this PoS.

    For me it’s a perfect game, except one flaw. Nintendo has this problem of handling combat - most of the time is too easy. Beside that it’s terrific - riddles, ideas, mechanics, even graphics and animations are beautiful, despite low resolution visuals are just amazing. It has been my first Nintendo game it and struck me as a great piece of fun. Just get this

    My rating for it is actually age of target audience of this game. Poor art style, controls. Characters is not voiced, and you don't care about them at all. The game is not interesting. Dropped it after prologue. Will sell cartridge. Only for childs or Nintendo-slaves.

    This games charm shines through the level design and characters, I found catching ghosts to be while repetitive, enjoyable. My issues with this game are that the middle section drags on for way to long, the water level is one of the most unenjoyable parts of any game I've played, and that once you complete the game you cant go back into any of the levels.

    I would classify it as the same category with It Takes Two. Those two games are the kind that could make you sit in front of the screen for hours and bring you only the pure happiness. No compete, no higher score, no difficult boss. The only thing matters here is to play and experience the game itself.

    There are some drawbacks here that makes me hesitant to finish or even completing it but I manage to finish it.
    First, the aiming mechanic is way too bad which mostly falls onto how the control responsiveness and direction orientation(?) which I'm not able to get used to that until I finished it. Once you are against some bosses that really rely on aiming, it becomes unnecessarily harder.

    Second, I don't feel any needs to complete the game or even I want to do it. It's different kind of feeling with Mario Odyssey and Kirby TFL. Luigi doesn't have any clear indication of how the completion process works. Is it just gems? No, there are several things you have to do to unlock a specific achievements which not clearly presented for players. There's also no bar or percentage or even a dedicated menu to look at our achievements, which makes me feels "for what I'm trying to explore the mansion and look for all the gems?" There's no even ANY rewards for collecting those gems.

    Third and the last one, the game almost has zero guide. If you don't experience this issue, then good for you. For me, I end up feeling lost and confused a lot in the game. I don't know how to reach certain room, I don't know what I miss to progress in that level to encounter the boss and most of it I'm confused how to beat the boss. The game is not consistent with its own mechanic in the game. You introduce us that sunglasses and shield are a thing to repel flashlight so you have to create burst to knock that off from the ghost. But for the boss at floor 6, he has a shield always intact no matter what I do and you know what? He is somehow vulnerable to light while charging even thou he still has the shield while charging. How I suppose to know that? All bosses are so random and didn't stick to certain standard with the game mechanics that they introduce to you. So many trial and error in the game which should not be the case if the game creates a clear mechanics and be consistent about it.

    Luigi’s Mansion 3 blew my mind away. The Switch is very behind in hardware, and yet, Luigi’s Mansion 3 pushes the Switch nearly to its breaking point. How is a modern Nintendo game this good? I’ll tell you right now.

    Luigi and co. are invited to a hotel which is… haunted. What do you expect? He finds a machine called the Poltergust G-00 which helps him take down the ghosts. It gets a lot better, so to avoid spoilers I’ll shut up now.

    The exploration system is back! You have to solve intricate puzzles with our gooey friend Guigi, who can fit in spaces Luigi can’t, but disintegrates when he touches water. Eventually you find a room filled with ghosts, which at that point you must “Suck and Slam” them. It is very satisfying, and a lot of the ghosts are different, and harder to take down. The bosses are a mix of puzzles, and “sucking and slamming”. It has, overall, very engaging gameplay. Some people say the controls were outdated. Personally, I don’t think so, but they are different from what you’d expect.

    It looks like a movie. Everything is perfect about its look, from the detail to the lighting. The locations are stellar and there is a good attention to detail. Next Level Games really did their best.

    The main campaign will take you up to 15 hours. There are 2 bonus modes; the ScareScraper and ScreamPark. The ScareScraper puts you in a squad with other people, and you have to clear challenges and get to the roof to fight Big Boo. There are DLC outfits that can make Luigi and ‘80s dancer or a pirate. This mode was the one I played more. ScreamPark is a collection of mini games. The DLC gives you bonus games here. You can only play it local, though.

    This is a top-tier Switch game. I guarantee you will love it. I say this as a joke sometimes, but here I mean it; Nintendo really delivered with this game.

Lights, shadows, colors and most of the scenes are absolutely stunning. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that Switch is capable for that level of graphics. Also the amount of details the developers put into the level’s environment is crazy huge. Another very well thought part of the game is music. It helps to develop an atmosphere which is on point. The difficulty level could be debatable, however I enjoyed the game not being too competitive. This is an adventure that let’s you relax while laying in the bed. Moreover difficulty level combined with simple mechanics creates a pretty low entrance level to the game. This allowed my non-gamer girlfriend to complete half of the game in a few days. However this also introduces another side of the medal: simple mechanics results in overall gameplay being repetitive. The fight strategies for bosses differ a little, but eventually boil down to the same move set. Also the game makes you go back a few times to the levels you cleared previously. This stretches the play time in a really weak way. Another point is that the game raises difficulty not by introducing fresh mechanics or new types of enemies, but just by raising the number of last. It makes the experience a little frustrating and you just want to finish the fight as soon as possible to progress further.

    For me it took around 18 hours of relaxed playing to complete 100% of the game and I would say I have enjoyed it. Definitely a must play for every Switch owner. Even though the game does not have any replay value at all, the general experience worth your time.

The type of difficulty I came to expect from the original isn't really here, but in other areas I think it outshines the original. The bosses on each level wind up being really engaging and more difficult than what the original offered. It also has a bigger emphasis on puzzles.

    Overall, what's offered is great, but there are times where the puzzle focus gets a little old. The ghosts in between the bosses also takes a step back from the original. The new slam mechanic (while flashy) reduces the complexity of ghost encounters. To take down ghost health, you have to spam that move and after a certain amount of health is drained, the game unlatches you from the ghost. This removes the challenge the original offered of incentivizing the player to catch ghosts in one go. That said, the boss ghosts offer more challenge and the mechanics can get quite challenging on later floors. The difficulty it offers with these boss ghosts, the puzzles, and the challenge of scrubbing the place dry for money makes the game super fun to play. It just doesn't live up to the original but is far more faithful than Luigi's Mansion 2 ever was.

    A great game, especially enjoyable if you like solving puzzles. However, it's not as finely tuned as Odyssey or nearly as exciting.

Ich habe das Spiel im Februar 2022 durchgespielt. Optik ist ganz schön gelungen, auch wenn die Handheld-Version deutlich schlechter aussieht. Das können durchaus andere Spiele besser. Das ganze Spiel war für mich zu repetitiv. Die Aktionen, die man ausführt. Saugen, Stampfen, wegblasen etc. machen an sich nicht wirklich Spaß. Es gab für mich auch keinen Anreiz die Bu-Hus oder auch die Edelsteine, die auf jedem Stockwerk versteckt sind zu suchen. Insgesamt war ich froh, als das Spiel vorbei war. Leider. Ich hatte mir wirklich mehr erhofft. Die Bosskämpfe waren für mich in der Regel auch langweilig gestaltet. Des Weiteren fand ich die Steuerung zum Teil überladen und schlecht umgesetzt. Ich sage nur das Level in der Kanalisation. Ein Grauen. Daher bedauerlicherweise nur 6 von 10 möglichen Punkten.

    Ich denke, es war mein erstes und letztes Luigis Mansion.

    _____________________________________________

    One of the most boring games I've ever played. Or maybe my expectations were way too high. I completed the game in February 2022. The optics are pretty good, even if the handheld version looks significantly worse. Other games can do that better. The whole game was too repetitive for me. The actions you take. Sucking, pounding, blowing away, etc. aren't really fun in and of themselves. There was also no incentive for me to look for the Bu-Hus or even the gems hidden on each floor. Overall I was happy when the game was over. Unfortunately. I was really hoping for more. The boss fights were usually boring for me too. I also found the controls to be overloaded and poorly implemented. I'm just saying the level in the sewers. A horror. Therefore, unfortunately only 6 out of 10 possible points.

    I think it was my first and last Luigis Mansion.

I know there is a coop mode either, but after I finished the main game, I really don't have the motivation to spend more time with this game which perfectly leads to my reasons, why I give these game only a rating 8/10.

    To make this clear, my rating is only based on my Single Player experience, were I finished the story mode. I know there is a coop mode either, but after I finished the main game, I really don't have the motivation to spend more time with this game which perfectly leads to my reasons, why I give these game only a rating 8/10.

    First of all. If you played Luigi's Mansion and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, you will have no problems to get right into it, because the developers take the best of the previous games and put it together.
    Simply great, the game also looks gorgeous and the typical charm Luigi's Mansion has is there from beginning to the end of the game. Furthermore there are 18 different bosses which are clearly the stars of the game thanks to their huge variety they offer when you fight them. Every boss is a unique puzzle which you have to solve to reach the next area.

    The scenarios are also very different to each other and offer you a big visual variety. And when you think, that this sounds like a game that deserves more than a 8/10, than you are right, but here is the thing.

    The fatal flaw of this game is the playtime. You need about 15 to 20 hours to complete the game in a normal playthrough without collecting all of the stuff you can go for when you want to fully complete it.

    In this game you have to explore 17 floors to get to the final boss fight and although I like the boss battles himself the exploring of the floors himself become quickly very repetitive. When you successfully completed the first four floors in the game, you have all the tools the gameplay has to offer and there are still 13 floors remaining.

    They bring a new feature with Gooigi to the established formula. Unfortunately the situations where you have to use him are most of the time quite obvious and so after a few floors the feeling of doing the same things over and over again overcome me and the motivation sinks despite the beautiful scenarios. I really struggled with a lack of motivation to make it through the end because of that.

    In the end it was overall an enjoyable experience, but I guess I will never play it again, because of these, in my eyes, big issue I had with the game. 11 floors with a playtime roundabout 10 hours would be perfect for this game in my opinion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The animation and music are really good. However, I had a bad experience with the game, it would be better as a cartoon. The puzzles are sometimes obvious, sometimes completely unintuitive, and you just walk around vacuuming everything. The bossfights are the only places where you can expect decent gameplay, and even some of them are very unintuitive. How can you figure out that for the cat boss, you have to turn around and stand still? Other fights, like the shark boss, are very good and use the mechanics in a clever way, but the quality is just too inconsistent.

    The gameplay is often very boring, and there is little reason for a second player. Still, some sections, like the last bossfight before the final boss, are designed for two players, and playing it alone feels awful. I played this game almost entirely alone, because due to the controls, you cannot play it using a single Joycon, so the second player needs another controller.

    The enemies are very easy and repetitive, and the combat is not very much fun. Money is useless, you only spend it on extra lifes you barely need. The collectibles are so bland that I didn't feel like collecting them. The true collectibles are the little hidden places and secrets you can unlock, like a hidden submarine. That's what made me finish the game, but now that I've beaten it, I cannot recommend it, there are far too many too good Switch games out there.

    Luigi's Mansion 3 is a cool game to play, with lot of clever gameplay and one heck of a vacuum cleaner! I cannot praise it enough for the Egyptian floor which has some cool sand physics. Final boss fight is bit unimaginative. I wish there was more of a point for the collectathon this game is.

    Each floor offers a unique level design which makes one eager to see what's offered in the next level. The piano boss fight is well implemented along with the music. Each level is carefully designed with great attention to detail and the amount of diversity that level offered impressed me a lot. Ex: There's a level for mummies, a castle level and a pirate level. All of them are super detailed and crafted.

    The bosses are fun and not challenging. It's more of solving the puzzle which is good if you want anti souls like games just to relax.

    Luigi's Mansion 3 deserves something more than 9 for it's amazing attention to detail and floor designs. A 9.5 for sure.

    This is a solid, first party Nintendo release that checks all of the boxes that it needs to. It's fun, it's visually compelling, and it's charming.

    With all of that in mind, it's more or less the same story as always with Luigi's Mansion releases, and feels like it lasts a bit longer than it needs to. There are 16 floors in this game, and by the tenth I was ready to leave the mansion.

Another aspect which needs to get used to is the fact that Luigi and Gooigi (Luigi's carbon copy in green jelly) can't jump properly, steps and podiums can become insuperable obstacles. And sometimes a certain linearity can install during game play, luckily it's been broken sometimes by unexpected events.
    On the plus side we have the advices of E.Gadd the scientist without those it would've taken me much longer to finish the game. Then it's big fun to alternate the control between Luigi and Gooigi, from time to time they even need to act simultaneously.
    But the greatest thing about this game are the boss battles, each different and needing specific tactics.
    Finally I also liked the nearly senseless money gathering, which reminded me of Wario platformers, games I particularly cherish.

    This game is a nice addition to the Switch's library, one of those games you better don't miss if you own the console.

The overall experience of the game is very lighthearted and ditches the dark atmosphere (I mean the flashlight is barely needed).

    You can easily see the superiority of the first LM game when it comes to dark, complex halways that unlock certain sections and you're like how do i open this door and then you do and you got up a floor for example..find keys and unlock new areas that connect and your blown away where the games had mystery and eerie feeling leading to the next area. This one doesnt have any of that.

    -Controls are whacky, its so hard to shoot the plunger high up accurately or suck with the vaccum because for some reason it has a auto aim which turns Luigi is the wrong direction all the time, so frustrating because you consistently lose control of the vacuum.
    -Scarescraper feels very lackluster whats with only 3-4 ghosts and constant timer on, but its definetly fun to some extent but i liked Dark Moon better.
    -Screampark is a huge disappointment. very lackluster minigames with 2min timer (again with the timer) then when the game finishes you get a black screen that says Retry or Quit, i mean really ? No nothing, just.. that.

    LM1 was a good GC game (not perfect) and LM2 tried something new as an amazing handheld game with so much content and introduced Scarescraper which could easily be improved upon. LM3 not only doesnt manage that but does nothing new while recreating similar recipe but its just not as good.
    One of the few new things is Googi, so you can play the story co-op or different extra modes on the couch which is a fun addition. Or if you're playing by yourself you have to control 2 Luigi's while the other sleeps which is kinda weird but its fun. However it seems playing the game 2 player is the best fun to be had here.

    Overall verdict: Good graphics, entertaining yet ultra childish cinematics but game riddled with inaccurate auto-aiming, needlessly tough boss fights (onlt because of the controls) and a predictable yet underwhelming online MP while the game feeling incredibly rushed and lazy with just a new floor with barely any of them attached except the bottom ones (hence the rushed feeling i get from devs). Also the lack of spooky atmosphere, Luigi humming and just battling ghosts with analog instead of pressing A was sorely missing.

    Despite the many flaws i enjoy the game and for me, around the time Polterkitty arrived the gameplay started being alot more fun, some of the floors were good but it was such a bore to play through, i didnt get that feeling while playing the other 2 titles.
