Luigi’s Mansion 3 – Second Opinion

Join Luigi as he embarks on a new ghostly adventure in Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch. This game has a mix of humour, clever gameplay mechanics and haunting visuals and is a fun experience for players of all ages (even if you’ve never played the other games, you can still play this game and not be lost!)

Luigi finds himself trapped in a spectral hotel overrun by mischievous ghosts and it’s up to you to guide him through the hotel with its labyrinth style corridors and unravel its mysteries to be able to escape the hotel.

A Spooky Adventure Awaits

The story begins with Luigi and his friends receiving an invitation to stay at a luxurious hotel called "The Last Resort." However, upon arrival, they discover that the hotel is haunted, and Luigi’s friends have been captured by ghosts. Luigi must explore the hotel by starting at the bottom floor and finding the lift buttons to progress higher and rescue his friends - all whilst defeating ghosts with only a vacuum cleaner. Luigi must solve puzzles, capture ghosts, and uncover the secrets of the hotel to save the day.

Luigi's Mansion 3: Where the graphics are so sharp, they'll puzzle even the most ghostly spectres!

Luigi’s Mansion 3 has stunning graphics that are whimsical with a hint of eerie charm. The environments are incredibly detailed and bring to life the haunted hotel’s ambiance, and each floor has diverse themes from Medieval castles to botanical gardens. The dynamic lighting adds depth, casting shadows and elevating suspenseful moments where you’re expecting a ghoul to jump out.

Each ghost and boss has unique traits that match the floor they are found on, which I think is a super fun detail (for example, they would dress like the theme of the floor or the boss fight would be using objects in the room that would also match the theme) which immersed me into the game and made me wonder what new theme would be awaiting me on each new floor I unlocked.

The puzzles in Luigi’s Mansion 3 are challenging and varied with environmental puzzles, ghost encounters and platforming elements. The environmental puzzles involve manipulating objects and uncovering hidden passages. Ghost encounters present challenges where players must use Luigi’s gadgets to capture ghosts strategically. The platforming elements require precision and timing to navigate obstacles but weren’t frustrating to do. I found the character specific Gooigi puzzles funny and challenging at times and fun to do and I found the puzzles creative which made the game so much more fun to play.
