When it came out, the first Luigi's Mansion was one of the most unique games I had ever played. Even now, it's hard to replicate its style without completely ripping it off, and that's why no one has tried yet.

New set of moves gives the game more variety; Beautiful environments with plenty of secrets; ScreamScraper is a fun way to spend time

...when it's not brutally unfair; Collectibles only seem to be for collection's sake

Luigi's mansion 3 is such a great game. The graphics are incredible, the story is so immersive, the controls are very easy to get used to.

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.

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

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.

Amazing graphics create an impressively interactive world with a secret hidden in every corner and some fantastically inventive boss battles and set pieces; Fun co-op options and multiplayer

Unnecessarily fiddly controls take a while to get used to; Very few puzzles are all that difficult and the whole game is rather easy; Destruction effects are fantastic, but strangely wasted

Perfect game for both solo and co-op. Interesting idea and fun way playing.

The series was always a bit of an underdog since its debut as a GameCube launch title, but Luigi’s Mansion 3 is the Switch’s surprise blockbuster that deserves the coveted holiday spot that Super Mario Odyssey had graced just two years ago. With some of the most rich and charming presentation yet seen for the Mushroom Kingdom’s residents and a delightful variety of fun ghost-busting and gooey mechanics, it’s every bit as essential as the rest of this year's top-tier Switch exclusives.

The closest thing to playing a Nintendo animated film; Lots of new fun and clever mechanics, especially Gooigi; Brilliantly designed bosses; Decent multiplayer options;

Not always clear what you need to do to reach something;

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.

Bags of fun; Easy to pick up and play; A quirky environment to get lost in;

Slightly repetitive enemies; A couple of tiresome puzzles;

Time flies playing this game. It's so fun and it looks great! Definitely one of my favourite Switch games that got released this year.

A great game & loads of fun!
