LM3 is a freshly polished floor to sock-slide on. A marathon of ideas and fun for the uninitiated but with my breadth of experience, my feet begin to tire.

As @ElectronicJourneys pointed out "The game is longer than the amount of time the mechanics stay interesting", I have to agree. It's an astute observation I hope I would've arrived at …

LM3 is a freshly polished floor to sock-slide on. A marathon of ideas and fun for the uninitiated but with my breadth of experience, my feet begin to tire.

As @ElectronicJourneys pointed out "The game is longer than the amount of time the mechanics stay interesting", I have to agree. It's an astute observation I hope I would've arrived at myself.

With more than half of the elevator buttons obtained, the desire to 'get through it' is starting to haunt me.

I am playing this as a breather between Fatal Frame sessions. Is this game generally considered a bad entry in the series? I actually picked it up on release in 2019 but only got about 5 hours in before dropping it, I think at the plant floor in the hotel. I am now at about that same point in my current playthrough and I think it's pretty lackluster. Maybe it's that the level I'm on isn't very good but it's quickly crossing the boundary from fun to tedious. The puzzles, ghost encounters, gooigi, everything just feels so boring.

(As a quick aside, Fatal Frame is excellent)

While I am only an hour in, it is abundantly clear that LM3 is a distillation of charm and design.

Somehow, 1st party Nintendo games reach into a forgotten phase of play. Untethered and joyous, like a day off from school.

Of the two Mario Bros, I've been partial to Luigi.

Of the two Mario Bros, I've been partial to Luigi.

However, his mansion has always been a regretful blind spot, made worse having owned a gamecube since 2004. Lately, the idea to strap on the vacuum and bust my way into the shadows has been obsessively forefront.

The short play hours and charm worth the time but the expense is unsurprisingly high. I resepct Nintendo for standing gaurd over its IP. Especially having been a Steam Sale goblin where abandoning half priced and casually purchased software is all to easy.

Having grown up with limited funds for games, the urge to garner as much playtime per dollar has been neurologically cemented, until now. I've accepted that Dad life can't support 100 hour adventures the same way fast food will spell churned insides and confused regret.

Crossing the threshold of having more money than time has occurred - a blessing in this timeline to be sure. Although, I still hover over Luigis Mansion 3 like a spirit with unfinished business. There are other things I could spend $90 on.

Its a shame that the original gamecube title is just as expensive as its 3rd iteration.

I really enjoyed this game. Luigi again like the other Luigi's mansion games is super hilarious and he is perfect in this game. The combat is so satisfying though made a little bit too easy with the slam effect. The different floors offer challenging puzzles with unique themes like a garden or an Egyptian desert.

I find it very interesting how in exploration I feel like the controls are so slippery and weird, but then in combat everything feels tight and well executed. I don’t understand why it feels so different.

This one kinda sucks, huh? Or maybe I've just outgrown Luigi's Mansion, I've got a lot of nostalgic love for the first but now I wonder if that holds up lol

My kids and I were debating… is Gooigi a Pokemon?

He lives in Luigi’s backpack. Comes out whenever called for. Has unique powers that enable him to fight for Luigi. Doesn’t speak. If knocked out he returns to Luigi’s backpack.

Does that make Luigi a Pokemon trainer?

The 3-star reviews here seem to generally hit the nail on the head on my early feelings about this game.

Looks nice, has some fun personality, but rather awkward to control and I’m a bit doubtful that it will be interesting enough to play for 15+ hours to the end. But definitely fun enough to pick up and run through a couple sections here and there.

This game was such a pleasant surprise after feeling underwhelmed with LM2. I really can't overstate how endearing this game is. The animations and the variety of ghosts show off its personality. The personality along with really great puzzles and engaging combat makes for a fun experience. My only issues with the game is that it felt pretty long and the levels don't seem well-balanced in terms of length or difficulty. Some levels have 4 floors, while others have two rooms. While the environments and themes are diverse, some of them just don't get a lot of time to shine and seem underdeveloped compared to others.

Early impressions:

  1. So darn charming and funny. Animations are expressive and the characters show a lot of personality.
  2. A lot more of a slow-burn, cinematic presentation when compared to the first game. Shows design philosophy of modern games vs 2001 or whenever the first came out.
  3. This seems to be a Metroidvania?? I don’t remember people mentioning that when the …

  3. This seems to be a Metroidvania?? I don’t remember people mentioning that when the game came out, so I could be mistaken, but that’s the impression I got early on with the continuous reveal of abilities.

Really liking it so far, it’s a lot better than the second game based on my vague memories of it at least.
