Customer Ratings & Reviews

"Luigi's Mansion 3" takes the formula from the last two games and runs with it. The Ghostbusters-inspired gameplay is better than ever, and the inclusion of Gooigi as a puzzle-solving helper is fun and effective (and provides an excuse for multiplayer to boot). The graphics are simple but well-crafted, making it one of the best looking games on the Switch. Proper use of lighting effects is important in a game like this, and Nintendo nailed it. This time around, Luigi is saving his friends in a hotel...so calling it "Luigi's Mansion" is a stretch, but we get it. There are a couple of awkward boss fights where I had some minor trouble with the control scheme, but overall I'd give this one high marks. Definitely a contender for Switch game of the year!

I can definitely recommend Luigi's Mansion 3 for Nintendo Switch! The game is set up with a fun story and the game develops with each passing level. What is most fun is the different floors in the mansion. Each floor has a completely different theme that plays completely differently. It almost reminds me of the themed levels from Super Mario Brothers 3 (yes, for the NES, all those years ago). The game also has some challenging puzzles/boss battles. Nothing too crazy, a little bit of thinking will solve most puzzles. The game is not too long, or too short, but just right. One word of caution, the game does not have that much replay-ability. After completing the game, aside from some included mini games, there is not much incentive to keep going.

Best Game ever!! My son exact words ! They should make more Luigui based games and let him enjoy more the spotlight

Fun game for all ages. I had a blast playing this in 2 player mode; Luigi and Gooigi. We will play it over and over again. It also has additional games to play.

This is my first Luigi's Mansion game and I've missed out on so much! Controls were hard to get for me but it's very fun.

my son loved this game since day one, he was able to pass the whole game but wanted to start again. cool game for a 7 year old

You can't go wrong with this game. I thoroughly enjoyed the story line and the beautiful graphics. You'll enjoy 15 floors of fun and excitement. It was fun having to use Gooigi to be able to solve certain puzzles or problems presented in the game. I enjoyed having Polterpup assist in some of the challenges. Should you happen to loose your life and if you have one or more gold bones Polterpup will consume one of the gold bones and bring you back to life. Thanks for a very entertaining experience.

Best game ever if you like to solve puzzles it’s very fun to play

So fun! Lots of my favorite things, exploration, collecting, hidden rooms and a longer story. Some battles with ghosts, but not too hard (I don't like it when its too challenging on the battles). I haven't played all the way through yet, but I'm loving it. Only wish it was 2 player so my sister could sit next to me to play with me! I see why it's not though. I'm not sure there would be enough for 2 people to do. There is the tower and mini games that can be played with more players, so there is that.

I finished Luigi's Mansion 3 and did not complete it because Nintendo made Luigi's Mansion 3 a nightmare to complete (no pun intended). On top of collecting all the Boos and all the gems, which is par for Luigi's Mansion games, Nintendo gave this game achievements. Now some of the game's achievements overlap with the Boo collecting and gem collecting, but for the rest, it can get quite ridiculous. On top of collecting boos and gems, you have to collect a certain number of each ghost (there's 6 types of ghosts), collect a certain amount of each currency (currency comes in coins, bills, bars and pearls) and collect a special collectable on each floor. Furthermore, each floor has a random achievement, which the gamer won't know until he does it, either by accident or on purpose. With all these achievements required for completion, it's not worth completion. It's a shame because Luigi's Mansion 3 has created a world in which the player wants to explore every nook and cranny. If it weren't for those achievements, and it was just the collectables (for which the game provides help), I probably would have gone for completing the game. Luigi's Mansion 3 should have been named Luigi's Hotel (or at least Luigi's Mansion 3: Luigi's Hotel). Instead of doing multiple mansions, like Lugi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, Luigi's Mansion 3 goes back to a single building, like Lugi's Mansion 1. Fortunately, it does bring over the themes of Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, one of the highlights of that game. The hotel has 15 floors plus 2 basement floors, and each floor has its own theme. Some of the floors make sense for a hotel, like boilerworks, a basement, a lobby, a mezzanine, a shopping mall, a theatre, a garden, a dance hall and a fitness center. I would expect those all in a hotel, especially a fancy hotel. Other floors do not make sense for a hotel. Would a hotel have a castle arena (unless they are going for a Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament kind of thing), a movie making studio, a museum, an Egyptian pyramid and a pirate ship? Unless it was a themed hotel, I would not imagine any of these in a hotel, and even in the case of a themed hotel, it would have 1 of these themes, not all of them. I get Nintendo did this to have more floors and expand game time, but it really lacks that universal theme, even for a hotel. Furthermore, all these floors are somewhat lacking balance. On some floors, the gamer has to explore a multi-level maze to get to the boss ghost. On other floors, the player just has to go down the hall to a single room, and the boss ghost is there. Sometimes a floor can take hours, while at other times, a floor just takes minutes. Luigi's Mansion 3 does boss ghosts right this time by leaning away from what Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon did and learning towards what Luigi's Mansion 1 did. Each boss ghost as his or her own character and personality...well, kind of sort of. Each ghost boss fits the theme of its room. Garden room has a gardener, dance hall has a DJ, fitness center has a bodybuilder, Egyptian pyramid has a mummy, movie studio has a director, pirate ship has a pirate shark, etc. That's it. Furthermore, in Luigi's Mansion 1, upon capturing the boss ghost, the gamer could read a description of the boss ghost. Despite Luigi's Mansion 3 having a ghost gallery, the player has no description to read. This creates a 1-dimension character and personality for the ghost. Again, better than Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, but it still feels like a long shot from Luigi's Mansion 1. Luigi's Mansion 3 brings back many features from Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, such as the strobe light and the dark light. Luigi's Mansion 3 also includes Gooigi, a goo clone of Luigi. Technically, Gooigi originated in the 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion 1 to give that game co-op multiplayer, although I remember Nintendo advertising Gooigi as brand new for Luigi's Mansion 3. That could be due to the criticism that Gooigi did not work for Luigi's Mansion 1 because the game was never intended to have co-op multiplayer. Well, Luigi's Mansion 3 did intend for co-op multiplayer, and I would even say it encourages it. Luigi's Mansion 3 has some puzzles which require both Luigi and Gooigi to solve it. A single player can hop back and forth between Luigi and Gooigi to solve these puzzles by himself or herself. At best, this slows down game play, and at worse it makes game play harder. While I appreciate Nintendo thought of how co-op multiplayer could change up the game, I wish they would have made single player and co-op multiplayer into 2 different game modes. Luigi's Mansion 3 adds some new poltergust features. The poltergust G-00 comes with a plunger rope, which can be used grab ahold of things and throw them or tear them down, which can reveal new paths. It's another layer of gameplay, which contributes to new and innovative puzzles. In some rooms, Luigi can plug in poltergust G-00 into a socket to activate super suction, which tears down walls and other fixtures to reveal a new path. Unfortunately, this is its only use, and it's only used in some rooms on some floors. By pressing both ZL and ZR, Luigi has an air boost, which kind of acts as a jump. It does not go high, but it has good use for doging floor attacks, and again, opening up new paths. In Luigi's Mansion 3, when Luigi has sucked in a ghost for long enough, Luigi can now slam the ghost onto the floor for extra damage. I like this over the "extra suction" in Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon. This attack has further application when facing a wave of ghosts, for Luigi can slam ghosts into other ghosts, which does damage to both the slammer and the slammee. Again, a big improvement from the last game. The only thing that does not return are the elemental medals from the first game. Such a shame because those elemental medals added another level of gameplay for puzzles. Just like in the previous Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, in-game currency in Luigi's Mansion 3 has more use than just ranking the gamer at the end of the game. In Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, the in-game currency just upgraded the poltergust, but in Luigi's Mansion 3, the poltergust comes updated. In Luigi's Mansion 3, in-game currency goes towards 3 things: gold bones, boo finders and gem finders. Gold bones serves as extra continues. When Luigi loses all 99 hearts, a gold bone gives Luigi an extra continue, so Luigi can pick up right where he left off, as opposed to a game over (which Luigi's Mansion games calls "good night"), which requires Luigi to start at the last saved checkpoint. At first, the game only allows 5 golden bones at once, but later on in the game, it allows you to hold 10 golden. As if this game wasn't generous enough with its auto-saves (auto-saves happen every time Luigi enters or exits a room), the golden bones make it even more generous. Seriously, I went into the final boss with 9 gold bones, and I defeated with 3. I prefer the method in Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, with only 1 golden bone per mission (I know that doesn't exactly work for Luigi's Mansion 3, but they could have done something similar, like find 1 golden bone per floor). Boo finders and gem finders are cartridges installed into poltergust G-00, which causes poltergust (and the controller) to vibrate when close to a boo or gem. The closet Luigi, the strong the vibration. This aids greatly in collecting both boos and gems. Like I said before, if it wasn't for the achievements, the boo finders and the gem finders would making collecting easy. The catch with the boo and gem finders, as well as the golden bones, is that money spent does not go towards your grand total for your ranking, so you lose money (and possibly rank) by spending it on finders and bones. It causes the player to stop and weigh out his or her options before purchasing finders and bones. Overall, a good game. Luigi's Mansion 3 has created a world in which the gamer wants to explore. The mansion/hotel has character, its ghosts (especially boss ghosts) has personality, and even Luigi feels relatable. Luigi's Mansion 3 has added new gameplay features, which puts new players and seasoned veterans on the same level. Money has more of a purpose than just ranking the player, and losing that money to purchase it in the shop has the player weighing the pros and cons to determine whether rank or completion is more important to the player. Ultimately, though, I still miss Luigi's Mansion 1. Luigi's Mansion 1 feels like "baby's first horror." Although not too scary, Luigi's Mansion 1 still felt like a horror game with other horror game tropes, like slowly unlocking a haunted building. Luigi's Mansion 3 feels less like a horror game and more like an action/adventure game that just so happens to have ghosts in it. While the gamer needs to beat a boss ghost on one floor in order to unlock the next floor, it does not feel like the same level of exploration as Luigi's Mansion 1. With so many opportunities for continues and saves, Luigi's Mansion 3 does not even have the horror trope of worrying about your life. While the ghosts have more character and personality than the second, it still falls short in comparison to the first game. One step forward and one step back.

Enjoy this series so happy to add to my collection

Goft for my nephew who already beat my copy. I just love this game, its fun and original!!! Luigis mansions get better each time a new one comes out.

As fun as always with Luigi’s Mansion ever since the first one

This game is so much fun and even better it is a co-op game. My son and I can play together for about 30 minutes a night and have a blast. We are searching for secrets, solving puzzles and capturing ghosts. I have not played previous Luigi Mansion games but my son has many moments of nostalgia as we progress through the story. 6 out of 5 stars, awesome game

Would definitely recommend this game for anyone who’s a fan of Luigi.

Luigi’s Mansion was never included along those list of nostalgic titles I played as a kid, but having played this game I am willing to bet every adaptation of the previous game must compare. It’s fun, it’s challenging in ways that make it interesting and urging to come back and enjoy. It’s worth a purchase! Don’t be afraid!

I really thought this would be a basic silly game. I was not prepared for how much I was going to like it. I mean created a fake book club to hide from my kids and spouse so I could peacefully play uninterrupted. I've even considered creating a hidden room in my house at this point in order to completely devote my time to playing while assuring there was an adult in the house, but the wouldnt be able to find me. Point is. Get it.. its fun!

My nephew loves the game great price quick pick up

Great good game i love it would recommend it fun and easy

I did not play the original game on GameCube, but I loved Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Crystal on the 3DS. This game feels very similar, but a little bit more open world (it isn’t open world, but it feels that way since you can explore the hotel a bit more freely in this game). The gameplay is just the right difficulty, in my opinion. Most of the ghosts can be beaten pretty easily, but the bosses can be quite difficult until you find their individual weaknesses. I also love that I could play this game co-op with my wife once Gooigi was unlocked!
