    I’ve gone on record in the past to note that the original “Luigi’s Mansion” is not only one of my all-time favorite GameCube games, but that it’s honestly one of my personal favorite video games. It’s clever, it’s charming, it’s fun to play, the gameplay still holds up to this day, and it’s all just still a wondrous experience to behold even after almost two decades.

It’s clever, it’s charming, it’s fun to play, the gameplay still holds up to this day, and it’s all just still a wondrous experience to behold even after almost two decades. While I did love that game, though, at risk of sounding bad, I never did give “Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon” a shot, simply because I’m not as deeply rooted in handheld games like I was as a child (not counting the Switch, since the system is partially a home console and provides me with more games that feel like “console experiences” than “handheld experiences”). That said, the announcement of “Luigi’s Mansion 3” brought my excitement levels through the roof, as the prospect of a new console “Luigi’s Mansion” game was just too exciting to pass up. And having finally played and beaten the game, I can say it definitely delivered on my expectations!
    “Luigi’s Mansion 3” delivers both as a console follow-up to “Luigi’s Mansion,” but also as a fun, charming, family-friendly “horror” game. No, the game isn’t very scary, but for a game about a haunted mansion, “Luigi’s Mansion 3” does do a nice job at creating an appropriate atmosphere, while also nicely eschewing some of the scary moments in favor of charm and lightheartedness. “Mario” games are not story-focused, and while this one doesn’t change that, it does feature some very witty and adorable moments thanks to its bright and memorable cast of characters (Polterpup’s antics are particularly adorable, too). The graphics are extremely sharp, being polished down to the littlest details and bursting at the seams with colorful designs. And from a gameplay perspective, “Luigi’s Mansion 3” retains the fun ghost-catching of the original game, with plenty of changes to help it feel fresh. Combat feels even better here, and the ghost catching feels even smoother as a result of the new options. The Poltergust’s many new control options, such as the Dark-Light, Suction Shot, and Burst are wonderful additions that are taken full advantage of during the game, and the game itself features a vast amount of content. The original “Luigi’s Mansion” was pretty short, but Nintendo’s chosen to beef this one out, and the result is a game that gives you plenty to do, and a lot to explore!
    I will say that the game is definitely held back in a few areas. For starters, the controls can be a bit of a hassle to deal with, largely in certain aiming sections. There were more than a few times where I was pondering how a plunger I shot wasn’t lining up, or why the vacuum wouldn’t suck up an energy orb or something to that degree, and that really compounded itself towards the tail-end of the game. While I appreciated that the game was longer than the first, and that there was so much content within the game, many of the puzzles and boss fights near the end can be a bit too obtuse and frustrating to deal with. Sure, it feels good when you get through them, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself needing a guide to understand them.
    Those faults aside, though, “Luigi’s Mansion 3” is nevertheless a wonderful game that lives up to its last console entry, and it definitely earns a hearty recommendation. If you’ve enjoyed the series up to this point, “Luigi’s Mansion 3” will surely stand tall among the other titles, along with the many excellent first-party titles on the Switch. It’s nice to see Nintendo bringing this franchise back (especially on a console this time), and here’s hoping they don’t take another 18 years to put another “Luigi’s Mansion” title on a console.

    Been a pleasurable experience to play at a slow pace and enjoy every single room that I enter, the only knock that I have had so far.. (approx. 9 hours) is the repetitiveness of the ghost battles, the bosses are great and you have to find the perfect way to defeat them but all the base monsters are defeated the same way. Although its a blast to beat them, a little bit of variety would have been welcome.    … Expand

    Like the previous two main entries, Luigi's Mansion 3 is a fun and charming adventure game, with the new gameplay features adding to the experience. It's closer in progression style to the first game than the second's mission format, but I think that works to its advantage. However, there is a certain section with frustrating controls.

    Luigi´s Mansion 3 es un grandísimo título para Nintendo Switch, mucha calidad en todos los aspectos, esta entrega nos transporta a un hotel terrorífico en el que lo pasaremos de miedo. Muchos escenarios muy bien diferenciados en cuanto a diseño y ambientación.

    En cuanto a jugabilidad puedo destacar que aun siendo pocas acciones las que podemos llegar a realizar, estas las exprimimos al máximo durante todo el videojuego, los niveles están diseñados de tal manera en la que fijándonos muy bien en el entorno y teniendo consciencia sobre cómo funcionan las físicas del videojuego, y interactuamos con las habilidades que tenemos, hace que se vuelva muy rica las experiencia que en un principio puede parecer muy simple. El sistema de combate se hace muy gratificante, es muy satisfactorio cuando aparecen un montón de fantasmas les ciegas con la linterna, los aspiras a todos y les das la tunda del siglo.

    A parte de todas estas mecánicas, tenemos también coleccionables en forma de joyas dispersados por todos los niveles, esto a parte de alargar la duración del videojuego, hace que sea muy entretenido ponerse a buscar por todas las estancias, y mientras estamos haciendo esto descubrir una zona secreta con un montón de monedas, un pequeño secreto o una curiosidad que nos sacará más de una sonrisa.

    Gráficamente luce espectacular tanto en portátil como en sobremesa, esta última siendo la que me parece la mejor opción para disfrutarlo, con un apartado técnico de 1080p 60fps, una maravilla. El juego de luces y sombras es sencillamente increíble. Las animaciones y expresiones de Luigi son de lo mejor que hemos visto hasta día de hoy junto con Super Mario Odyssey, son de un nivel muy alto y medidas al detalle.

    Los jefes de cada fase, a parte de estar muy bien diferenciados por la temática respectiva del nivel, también cambian totalmente de mecánicas y cómo estos actúan, y como es común en esta saga, hay que reconocer el patrón de ataques que realizan y buscarles su debilidad para atacarlos.

    En definitiva un muy buen título recomendado para todo el mundo, el único aspecto negativo que se le puede achacar es la duración, que si bien lo puedes terminar con todos los coleccionables en unas 15 horas, y también el no tener un modo partida + con un aliciente para completar una segunda vuelta, pero que aun así sigue mereciendo muchísimo la pena cada uno de los minutos del mismo.    … Expand

    Toma todo lo aprendido con las 2 primeras entregas y lo pule sin perder la esencia. Hace que tirarte 2 ó 3 horas haciendo lo mismo no te resulte pesado en absoluto. Además de lo hilarante que resulta la historia, la expresividad tanto de Luigi como de todos los fantasmas,...

    Visually, everything is crisp and vibrant and aesthetically varied. Each floor and room are distinct and unique and never feels repetitive. Fighting and slamming ghosts around and into each other is incredibly fun and satisfying. Exploration is nuanced and encouraged: you’ll find all kinds of things (sometimes very well hidden). Everything from combat, to exploration, to fighting bosses has this puzzle element to it where you’ll have to really pay attention and figure things out. For those completionists out there, there is plenty to find here.

    My only critiques are that the controls can really take some time getting used to, and will still even then feel unintuitive; and that some puzzles/boss fights feel more like trial and error. These are just small complaints that I feel don’t detract from the game even the tiniest bit.

    Simply put, Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a fantastic game that is just pure fun and charming that it continuously left a smile on my face. I can’t recommend this title enough, and I give it two big thumbs up!    … Expand
