Luigi's Mansion 3 (Nintendo Switch)

This ain't no Holiday Inn

This ain't no Holiday Inn In 2014, Next Level Games announced it would be working with Nintendo exclusively on its future projects. For fans of its games, the move made sense. Next Level Games has a rich history of creating outstanding products with Nintendo at its side, but on its own or working...

Luigi's Mansion 3 Review – Frights And Delights

After ridding several haunted mansions of their ghost infestations in the series' first two games, the taller, goofier brother of Nintendo's first family is ready for his biggest task yet: cleansing a whole haunted hotel.

Luigi's Mansion 3 Review

Mario, it turns out, isn't the only plumber in Nintendo's employ who can carry his own great game. Luigi's Mansion 3 is so much fun, so charming, and so smartly designed that, moving forward, I really hope we get more than three of these games every 20 years.

Luigi's Mansion 3 (Nintendo Switch) Review

It hasn't been that long since Cubed3 last got its hands-on Luigi's latest outing with the E3 demo. Despite not being finished, the demo looked great, although only so much could be explored with a 15-minute time limit.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 Review

If you are looking for a challenge then Luigi’s Mansion 3 might not be for you. The game is only mildly difficult but – for most – that won’t really matter. Luigi’s Mansion 3 is an absolute delight from start to finish, bursting with charm and re-playable mechanics.

It's Luigi's time to shine. Can he handle the spotlight

Luigi's Mansion 3 review – supernatural beauty

It's Halloween this week but, alas, the days of dedicated horror games being released to coincide with it are long gone. There's plenty of live service games that will have Halloween promotions, but they're not intended to scare, only fleece you of your money via microtransactions.

Luigi's Mansion 3 Review – Spooky Good Times

There's something magical about the Luigi's Mansion franchise. While Mario has made a name for himself as an unflappable pillar of courage, Luigi's household brand is one of constant terror. No one wants to be the scaredy-cat brother, but Luigi pulls it off with style and grace.

Luigi's Mansion 3 (Switch)

To quickly recap for the uninitiated, Luigi's third spooky outing takes place at the Last Resort, a skyscraper hotel in the middle of nowhere the Mushroom Kingdom regulars consider a definitely safe and normal place to holiday. What could possibly go wrong

A so-so, samey sequel to a phenomenal game

If the original Luigi's Mansion goes down in history as one of the GameCube's most unique and fun games, then Luigi's Mansion 3 will go down in history for being more of the same. That's mostly not a bad thing. But it's hard not to criticise Nintendo here for playing it ‘too safe’. Luigi's Mansion makes the jump to Nintendo's portable power-house retaining most all of the charm of the original, no doubt pleasing newbies to the franchise. However returning players could be forgiven for wondering if they're just taking a trip down memory lane. Especially those who picked up the 3DS title Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, which Nintendo seemingly forgets ever existed re-introducing ‘new’ features we've seen before. Luigi's Mansion 3 successfully breaks up the action into bite-sized peices suitable for your train ride home. Sometimes though these play sessions can become frustrating as solutions to puzzles rely on seldomly-used skills you all but forget about bewteen play-sessions. Overall, this is a good, not great game that's likely to please newcomers but leave returning players wondering “Is this it-”.
