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.

It's remarkable how some games make you think, isn't it For example, before playing Luigi's Mansion 3 I had never considered these questions: have I ever seen the Mushroom Kingdom gang in a bus

A delightful adventure; Anyone can enjoy it; Ingenious boss battles and themes

Very slow paced at times; Some boss designs frustrate

An utterly essential action adventure title that will delight fans of both Luigi's Mansion 1 & 2, as well as anyone pining for a high-quality action adventure title like what we used to get back in the good ‘ol days.

Masterful level and puzzle design that effortlessly marries the design language of the first and second Luigi's Mansion games together; Excellent pacing; with the game constantly throwing new ideas and concepts at you that never outstay their welcome.

The multiplayer Scarescraper mode might actually be too difficult for some players; Not much of the new music is all that memorable

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.

Everything looks terrific; Vacuuming feels great; Puzzles are very clever; I'm sure

Boss fights feel random and obtuse; collectibles feel tacked on; Rising checklist dread became too much

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.

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;

Luigi's Mansion 3 is the high point of the series, simply because it polishes the Luigi's Mansion formula to a shine.

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

+ Gorgeous Graphics and Animation; + Puzzles are fun; + Lots of variety between floors of the hotel; + Perfect for younger gamers

- Combat gets tiresome a bit too quickly; - Will be too easy for some; - Currency is wasted

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;

Luigi's Mansion 3 creeps up on you, and not just in an obvious haunted house 'Boo!' kind of a way. Ever since its GameCube debut, the franchise seems to have been cursed with perpetual Nintendo B-list status.
