    A bit boring for solo player. First 10 hours is okay, then it becomes repetitive to play, This is more like a family game.

    Edit: after pushing myself to play for a second time, I find more fun searching for the hidden gems. The map is well designed for exploration.

    Solid opus of an interesting franchise. Though the gameplay mechannics are almost the same than the previous opus, this is a nice adventure to go through and graphically a clear effort has been made for a Nintendo game franchise.

    Graphics are good which is expected for a Mario/Luigi game - I'll give the game that.

    Personally, I can't play over 30 minutes or continue further another floor/level without quitting from boredom then trying again later if I in the mood. That's how repetitive the gameplay feels. The first Luigi Mansion game in the series never made me feel this way. Luigi Mansion 3 makes not want to play or try Luigi Mansion 2 anymore.

    Last, Local Multiplayer is a thing for this game which i haven't tried so no comment on this.    … Expand

    This game is extremely fun and interesting! I think it’s the BEST game on the Switch. Lots of action, puzzles, and boss fights. Can even be challenging for an adult.

    Took awhile for game play to get started. Seemed like it was going to be a big game. However the end felt rushed. Beating the hotel owner. Then immediately king boo. They could have done a little more with the ending of the story line. Instead of saving Mario and princess in 1 shot. Total disappointment.

The game doesn't send chills down your spine like Dark Moon and especially the original, but it makes up for it by just looking like a damn good game. The lighting is so good! Gooigi is a nice addition, and I'm glad he didn't just fade into the background after a few floors. The desert stage is so good, and I love that the sand physics are fairly realistic in the entire stage. The movie director stage and the disco stage are two more highlights. I could talk about almost all of the stages, but I don't have enough characters. I don't really like how you just save toads until the final level (would it kill you to send Yoshi or wario so that we care more), but that's so minor I don't even care. The difficulty is just right (no Yoshi's crafted world baby stuff), and the gameplay is just like the second game but more in depth, with the suck, blow, stro-bulb, and dark-light returning, as well as the plunger, the "Sight jacking", and the aforementioned gooigi being added to luigi's arsenal. I'm not a huge fan of backtracking for toad and the kitty, especially when b2 is my least favorite stage in the whole game, but hey, that's subjective. I wish there was either a little more, or a lot less puzzle solving. It's too much for a normal luigi's mansion, but not enough for big puzzle game fans. I know I complained a little at the end of this, but this is still a game that you can't get too deep into switch collecting before you pick up. This is a good step up from Dark Moon, and I'm sure I'll get excited when the next game (hopefully) releases on the next Nintendo console.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este juego tiene excelentes gráficos, animaciones y uso de la paleta de colores. Te hace pasar varias horas entreteniéndote como solo los exclusivos de Nintendo lo saben hacer. Es un juego que obligatoriamente se debería jugar si tienes una Switch. Sin embargo, no es un juego perfecto o que merezca tener un 9 o 10 como Zelda BOTW o Super Mario Oddysey. Más allá del título ("Mansion"), el juego se desarrolla en un hotel muy colorido e iluminado que, a diferencia del primer juego de la saga, no hay ningún elemento de terror o que de miedo: La música de este juego es entretenida y no tenebrosa o macabra como el LM1, los fantasmas son seres agradables que dan hasta risa incluso en el mismo momento que los vas a terminar de aspirar, algunos jefes son muy sencillos en niveles avanzados, en fin... Dos cosas más que tampoco me cuadraron y por lo cual no le pongo 9 o 10 es que muchas veces la cinemática se conecta a una escena de juego pero se interrumpe la continuidad del estado de las cosas y se genera una distorsión ya que si teníamos a Luigi corriendo o en un lugar determinado, en el vídeo se va ver eso cortado (lo mismo y peor se nota si estaba Gomiluigi). Esto es algo que no pasó por ejemplo con Zelda BOTW donde la cinemática respetaba hasta el traje de Link. Lo segundo que no me cuadró y que era algo que no requería mayor esfuerzo era el hecho de que no te permitía omitir la cinemática que antes ya habías visto previamente a enfrentar a un jefe con quien habías perdido. Cada vez que perdías con un jefe (especialmente con aquellos difíciles), tenías que ver nuevamente y de manera completa toooda la cinemática, algo que sí me parece inconcebible.… Expand

    Por otro lado los jefes finales tienen demasiados altibajos. Por lo general su diseño es original e interesante. Sin embargo, mientras algunos son absurdamente fáciles, otros son dificiles, no por requerir habilidad para derrotarlos, si no porque el tiempo necesario hasta darte cuenta de qué tienes que hacer, resulta repetitivo y poco inspirado. Con especial mención del horrible diseño del final del juego, facilmente el peor final en mecánicas que he jugado nunca.

    This game is like not even exist in our lives, because it changes nothing except getting our -valuable free time-, which makes me super angry about it. Dear Nintendo, please don't believe the other reviews who say anything positive about it. It's all because the game has very good art and music. Believe me, this is not a good game at all.

    It's got the same charm of the Luigi's Mansion I played all those years ago on the GameCube. Much more creative with the boss fights, a lot longer, collectibles and more. I put at around 20 hours into the game before I finished it.

    Only thing I missed was Luigi humming along to the song while walking around :')

    Der Schwirigkeitsgrad ist für Pro's wahrscheinlich ein wenig too low, aber für mich war er perfekt. Jeden Abend nach der Arbeit die Switch gezückt und schnell ein paar Level gemacht. Die Grafik ist liebevoll animiert und sehenswert. Kann das Game nur wärmstens empfehlen ;-)

However, it was undeniable the amount of work that must have gone into this game. The levels and puzzles were very well thought out and the cut scenes were great. Once I had put about 5 hours into the game the buttons became second nature and found myself finding better hidden gems in later levels than the more obviously placed once I passed over at the beginning. It was satisfying figuring out how to beat each boss, as discovering their weakness was always a puzzle itself. Overall, pleasantly surprised. I’m sure someday I’ll purchase Luigi’s Mansion 4.… Expand

    Luigi's Mansion 3 is the pinnacle of the series in nearly every aspect, the art design is fantastic, the areas and animations are delightful and so full of life, even adding some great extra modes for basically no reason, but hey they're still really fun!

    The new mechanics the game introduces to the series are ones I hope become mainstays as they're so well used in both puzzle solving and combat. With 15 floors and a bunch of gems hidden on each one, I'd say it's well worth the $60 price tag. Compared to previous entries the combat takes a bit of a backseat for more puzzle solving, whether or not that's a good or bad thing is completely up to you.

    However I have one major complaint: the combat is............eh. The new slam mechanic is really cool in puzzles but in combat it takes all the tension, strategy, and difficulty out of the battles with the standard baddies. in Dark Moon and the original you have to pull back in the right direction hard enough and in dark moon's case, use B to dodge other ghosts and charge up your pulse meter. In 3, you just stun them, suck them up, and mash A.

    You use this to slam ghosts into each other making the battles even easier and even when the slam runs out they run away so slowly that it's beyond easy to stun them before they actually hide. Combat is no longer fun.

    The next thing I wanted to talk about is scarescraper, a series of 5-20 floors where you and 3 other players have to complete an objective in a certain time frame to move up to the next floor, fail one and you go back to the bottom. This mode is really fun... for the first 15 rounds maybe. But then you realize catching all the ghosts is the objective 60% of the time and remember what I said about the combat?

    The other objectives like finding all the toads and collecting all the money is way more fun.

    Scream park is the last point I want to touch on, it's like 8 player mario party minigames with luigi's mansion 3 controls and mechanics in it. From what I've played it's super fun, even with the uninteresting combat playing against another team to see who can catch the most ghosts in the time limit is just plain old fun.

    If I could, I'd give this one a 7.5 out of 10    … Expand

    Gave up playing half-way through main story after back-tracking, monotonous levels and awkward controls proved too annoying. Do you enjoy games where you gradually improve by learning new mechanics—rather than fight the poor implementation of 2-3 core moves? This ain't it. Expectations were high based on metascore and the “Nintendo” badge, but this is second/third-tier stuff from the big N.

There is no real incentive for finding any secrets/collectibles/money, despite exploration being one of the core pillars of the game. I personally found that there was no real sense of progression either, as I felt the levels could be played in any order and players would more or less get the same exact experience. Because of all these things, I personally felt a high lack of investment in the game.

    All in all, this game feels more suited to be a 3D environment art showcase than a game. The magic wears off after the first couple of hours. The good aspects of the game are extremely well done, but other mediocre aspects bring enjoyment down by a good amount.    … Expand
