    Luigi's Mansion 3 is a master class in its puzzle-platforming niche. Each floor of the hotel is brilliantly themed, with set pieces, secrets and bosses to solidify the immersive environments. From beginning to end, this game is a delight.

    Probably the best Switch game I have ever played! This game never becomes frustrating, boring or bad. It just progressively becomes more creative, challenging and fun!

    Es un juego hecho con cariño, me ha encantado.

    La manera en como todos los elementos en pantalla interactúan con el personaje, la iluminación y las reacciones inesperadas del personaje sin lo mejor.

    First of all, playing this game can make you happy.

    The mansion has multiple floors with different themes, which is great, since your adventure can be segmented by floor, rather than getting lost in a huge map. The only thing I think it can improve is that the usage of the gems, maybe upgrade the weapon a little bit? No collecting gems don't give you actual rewards.

    I would rate this game a 10 if it's a 3DS game. Not sure if that's reasonable but I do expect more for NS games.    … Expand

    Amazing game

    -great gameplay (love running around sucking up ghosts fighting bosses and solving fairly fun simple puzzles) -great atmosphere in each level (there are plenty of unique levels each feel very lively and have been designed with care and attention to detail) -Bosses are the best part of this game. Every fight is creative and engaging. Each boss is fleshed out with their own    Amazing game

    -Visuals are just stunning

    Only con
    -The game does not have a dark or creepy atmosphere and feel to it like the original

    Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a third person action game whose mechanics don’t really cleanly map onto a genre, being some weird combination of third person shooter and action game. You play as Luigi, Mario’s brother, and must rescue all your buddies from a big bad ghost in a haunted hotel who has captured them all, but the mechanics are wildly different from any sort of Mario game, as the gameplayLuigi’s Mansion 3 is a third person action game whose mechanics don’t really cleanly map onto a genre, being some weird combination of third person shooter and action game. You play as Luigi, Mario’s brother, and must rescue all your buddies from a big bad ghost in a haunted hotel who has captured them all, but the mechanics are wildly different from any sort of Mario game, as the gameplay centers around sucking up ghosts and other environmental objects using a vacuum cleaner, rather than platforming – indeed, Luigi can hardly jump at all.

    The game is closest to a third person shooter; you use the left analog stick to move around and the right one to control your orientation. You have the ability to suck and blow using your vacuum cleaner, along with a flashlight that can temporarily stun ghosts, an alternate flashlight that reveals hidden objects, and a suction cup gun that can be used to pull on things. The core gameplay plays a bit like a third person shooter, as you try and orient Luigi in the right direction to aim and fire your vacuum cleaner or the various other things, but the range is short on most of the items and the broad suck of the vacuum cleaner means you don’t need a lot of precision.

    This is a good thing, because the controls are rather awkward.

    Third-person shooters follow players around in an over-the-shoulder kind of way because it makes it much easier to tell what you’re aiming at; however, because of the distant fixed camera in Luigi’s Mansion, it is easy to be oriented the wrong way and not do what you’re trying to do. This isn’t so bad while exploring the environment, but can be a bit frustrating in some situations where you rapidly need to switch directions and aim at something else. Luigi also doesn’t move around very quickly, which can make backtracking a bit tedious. This game does not have the fluidity of the mainline Mario games; instead, Luigi is a cowering, slow-moving creature (which is played for laughs a bit when you eventually rescue Mario and he starts jumping around like he does in his games).

    The one thing I haven’t mentioned so far is Gooigi, a goo-construct clone of Luigi that you can spit out of his backpack after the first few stages. This adds an additional layer to the game, as Gooigi can squeeze through grates and gaps that Luigi cannot and ignore spikes and similar hazards, and also allows you to do some two-person puzzles by yourself, as you can have your goo duplicate go stand on a button or pull on a switch or whatever. This leads to some of the more interesting puzzles and boss fights in the game, as you switch between the pair to accomplish your tasks.

    Unfortunately, the game shows you all of these things in the first third of the game, and the same is true of its enemies as well – there just isn’t a broad variety of them. There’s half a dozen main enemy types, but you beat almost all of them by flashing them with your flashlight then sucking up their ghostly tail, then smashing them repeatedly into the ground (sometimes hitting other ghosts in the process). The game tries to mix this up a little by having some enemies carry items, but the limited number of abilities you have means that these are all overcome either by sucking off the item or by using a “hop” (bursting your vacuum cleaner straight down) to blow stuff off, or using the suction cup to pull it away from them. You see all of these tricks early as well, and the game doesn’t really come up with anything new.

    This is a problem, as it means that as you progress through most of the game, you’re just seeing the same old stuff in new 3D environments. And while the levels are pretty, your limited ability suite means that everything ends up playing out very similarly, moving around rooms, sucking up all the objects in the environment, and solving the odd simple puzzle or mini-challenge, none of which are particularly difficult.

    The highlight of the game is the bosses, as there’s a reasonable variety of them (over 15 of them) and they all play out differently. They’re pretty short fights on the whole, but they all have unique designs and patterns, from a giant T-rex skeleton that chases you around to a ghost pirate shark that sometimes dives into its ship to try and eat you with the planking you’re standing on to a movie director who makes you fight Godzilla.

    The problem is that the game otherwise all too often feels like a chore. The game is actually quite short and pretty small physically – you could beat the whole thing in 10 hours if you cared to, but you will probably take twice that to actually do so if you actually try and find everything. But the game is mostly tedious, vacuuming up everything in each room and using the other tools as needed, which can take a while, as the rooms are environmentally rich, and yet feel overall unrewarding, as for all their visual splendor, they're mechanically similar.    … Expand

The game hands out a ranking after completion, and all the ranking takes into account is total money held at end of game, which is silly and undermines the game's exploratory nature.… Expand

However Luigi's Mansion falls flat in terms of gameplay.

    Controls: Luigi's Mansion 3's controls can feel really sloppy at some times. This is partially due to the switch's controllers being hard to aim at objects, which is crucial to the games puzzle solving. The controls can also feel slippery when trying to capture ghosts. While these aren't nearly as bad as the controls of Mario sunshine, they definitely can hinder the gameplay.

    Gameplay: While the gameplay is fun at first, the lack of depth really starts to make the game feel dragged out towards the second half. Most of Luigi's abilities are unlocked by the time you reach the main floors which causes the game to feel very repetitive. Most of the puzzles also feel very uninspired and similar as the game drags on. The lack of upgrading equipment and abilities causes the game to squeeze out all of its creative ideas within the first few floors. However, Nintendo still does a great job and making most boss fights feel original and fun. While they are not as creative as some of their other titles, most are still fun.

    While this game does have some charming moments, it definitely is disappointing compared to the previous two titles. If your looking for a short and easy game for the switch, this game is perfect, however I would strongly recommend to buy this game on sale.    … Expand
