The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy methodical exploration, environmental puzzles, and playful ghost-catching.: Each mansion is a puzzle-filled space to investigate, with clues and keys opening new areas and ghosts to stun and capture. Tradeoff: Mission-based mansion exploration is more structured than free-roaming, and capturing ghosts calls for repeated timing and positioning.

What you are walking into
A remaster of the 3DS game for Nintendo Switch. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon gives players multiple mansions to explore, a variety of puzzles to solve and new ghosts to capture. Armed with the Poltergust 5000, a ghost-sucking, vacuum-like invention, Luigi must complete a number of missions assigned to him by Professor E. Gadd. Shining a light on the ghosts is no longer enough to stun them into immobility. Players need to activate a new strobe function to stun the ghosts before sucking them up with the Poltergust 5000. Every mansion is filled with unique puzzle elements and ghosts. Players must figure out how to defeat each one of them and find hidden clues and keys to unlock new areas.
