This game is one of the best looking Switch games and it wasn’t even directly handled by Nintendo. Major props to Next Level Games.

[@pierrebegley2746]

I was gonna say! It is definitely one of my favourite Switch games so far!

Next Level Games has to be my favorite and one of the best videogame companies of all time,The Mario Strikers series,Punch-Out Wii,and now Luigi's Mansion 3,you can see pasion and personality shine through every single game,and they deserve WAY more credit for their efforts.

[@headeraser]

It's actually pretty crazy. The animation is completely insane as well. Nintendo must be very proud of them, or maybe they're taking all their notes and secrets, he he

@@danceswithmetroids162 True, but that makes me appreciate how the handled LM3 all the more. Dark Moon didn't sell Pokemon levels, but it did outsell the first game, is one of the best selling 3DS games regardless, and is likely the best selling game from Next Level by far. They were still in a similar situation but still chose to develop the games the fans wanted. Granted, they don't have to make a new game almost every year.

Luigi Mansion just has a certain atmosphere, the bright characters contrasting with the dark shadows really works for it.

One of my favorite little details is the beginning. Peach and Mario dash off the bus excitedly towards hotel while the Toads grab their luggage. There is Luigi being the last to leave, carrying his own luggage simply enjoying seeing how excited everybody is.

It reminds me of myself because when we were doing a trip a long time ago my family members were running just to get to the bed and I was there admiring the lobby.

6:00 The 'Burst Ability' is one of those things; really cool and has that needed 'X factor' to boost the game's creds - but at the same time it's totally OP. Like, properly unbalanced. They should have made this a very late-game ability, like after the 4th or 5th Portrait. I enjoyed the challenge of being Outnumbered or surrounded- or planning even so you know to avoid that situation. Now, it's the ''Press the Magic n00b Button and ta-da, level Clear!!'' effect.

@least toast Honestly? No. 4 months in I've already made my purchasing decision. A review this late is more about entertainment or in case a title missed my radar, but thats far from likely in the case of these major releases. You really think Im going to be like. "Idk, Ill wait for the Arlo full review."?

[@Xvladin]

@@ZygonCannar the review is more a discussion on the game, not really a video made to assess whether you should purchase a game or not. I like when the review is a well thought out, fun, discussion and exploration of how the game feels to play and can go into detail on all the little aspects that made it fun/not fun. So personally, I see no issue with waiting months for a more comprehensive review and actually prefer it that way. By then both Arlo and I will have had time to form strong thoughts and opinions on the game and both of us will be ready to have a real conversation about it. If he made a review for Aninal Crossing now he would only be able to talk about the very beginning of the game and even then, anything he says would only really serve to spoil the game for me, rather than letting me experience it myself. So personally, I'd *always* rather see a well thought out exploration of a game, made a few months after a games release

Luigi has been my favourite Nintendo character since I was a child and I remember how delighted I was when I realized they made a game on the Gamecube where he is the main character, the first Luigi's Mansion, which was a great game. I never played the second one, but this third entry is now one of my favourite Nintendo games ever, the charm, the animations, the characters design, some character ghosts are just purely amazing, and like you I had a child like pleasure more than a few times playing this game, so I believe that it deserves the 7 out of 7 despite its flaws!

[@TheLonelyGoomba]

My only real issue with the game is the slam. It's fun, but the difficulty didn't seem tailored around this. There are probably 2 instances in which the combat actually felt really good. And that was an optional fight when revisiting the pirate ship, and the piano stage. That was it. Everything else is mostly amazing, top tier. But the combat is actually a step back from Darkmoon. And this carries on to the online aspect of the game. Game needed a hard mode / second mansion. I also felt a lot of the later floors started to feel a bit rushed and lacking. Like the gym...dance floor eh, kinda lame.

[@fight_and_die1573]

I think it was a waste of potential on their part. Like, you can't go wrong with a dance floor, but at the same time, that floor was just used for a boss, and there wasn't any puzzle leading up the boss. All the floors accomplish what they're meant to be, but the later floors just kinda fill their role for the sake of being a floor.

At least no Goombas were hurt during the making of this game, so that's a plus.

[@Blackkey034]

Daniel Graham how long does he need?

[@csmead209]

@@Blackkey034 I'm just saying that this game was released first. And it might have affected his scoring of Pokémon Sword/Shield because that game has an open world in a very large(-ish) area of the game, that takes up a lot of graphical power. The result of that making Pokémon look barely above a 3DS game. There is also the mouse cursors spotted in the cut scenes, that will never be patched out. Rather than stress the GPU by adding an open world to a game that does not need it, Luigi's Mansion 3 takes care to make a smaller space look perfect! Proving just why that hybrid console was worthy of a port of The Witcher 3, and Breath of The Wild, and a coming port of The Outer Worlds. And if Arlo had reviewed LM3 first, and Pokémon now; Pokémon would have only been a 3 out of 7 instead of a 5 out of 7. Mostly because of last month's upsetting reveal of the subscription price for Pokémon Home. A service, yes, a games as a live service, that cannot even implement all of it's features on the Switch. It requires a smartphone to use all those features. Some of those features used to be in the base games in previous generations. The Switch can play The Witcher 3 anywhere you take it. It can make Luigi's Mansion 3 look like a PS4 game, while in your hands on a bus! The Switch will play The Outer Worlds in the future. So why is online play for Gen 8 worse than gen 7 was on the 3DS?

No, friend. If a game helps you ease off the pressure of reality, it did it's job. We are more than our problems, and art and recreative things are part of the process of dealing with it. That was how it was for me when I played Oot, MM, and TW for the first time.

[@thenintendnub64]

While playing this game, I kinda got the idea that Luigi would avoid collecting money and gems in favor of saving his friends and brother, while Gooigi was more focused on money and gems at E. Gadd's personal request, based off his encouraging the player to collect the money. Just imagine: Luigi and Gooigi enter a room. Luigi starts to think about how to approach a situation when he hears the sound of furniture being rattled. Startled, he turns to see Gooigi searching a drawer or something and pulls out a stack of bills. Luigi asks why Gooigi continues to hunt for money. Gooigi pulls out a gem, calling out "I do it" (as he seems mostly mute). Luigi just shrugs it of as he continues to think and as Gooigi continues to search the room for more loot.

I'm surprised how few people have complained about the padding in the game with the cat making you backtrack to floors and rooms you already beat. This could've happened once or twice and been fine but the 3 or 4 times it did felt unnecessary. It and trying to aim with the plunger/objects/toads was more work than it needed to be, especially when trying to aim timed bombs into king boo's mouth for instance. Overall a near perfect game that I'll probably revisit in a few years.

I personally didnt quite feel the first game's atmosphere, maybe it was a bit too cartoony

[@maddon759]

This was my favorite game of 2019. Highly recommended 😁👍🏼.

[@mr_m4613]

Same.

[@Tman-gt7fk]

I liked Mario maker two more but this was still a decent game

[@mr_m4613]

@@Tman-gt7fk you liked mario maker 2 more? Thats like saying you like the appetizer more than a full course meal lol

[@Tman-gt7fk]

Frigate6054 it’s just my opinion I still really enjoyed luigis mansion three probably 2nd to Mario market 2

[@cowboylikeabi]

When I heard about it in July 2019 I was so excited that night I couldn’t hardly sleep and I literally counted down the days until it came out. As soon as I got it I started playing I honestly think this is the best Luigi’s Mansion also I think this is the best game on the Nintendo switch

[@ElhPudding]

I feel the fact of the game don't telling about the rank in the end is mostly due what happen in the end, since was an "unexpected ending" in the story at least.

[@Galespark234]

I agree with everything! Although I personally found it very disappointing how the game turned very linear about halfway through it, every floor just felt like a separate level and well, I would've preferred if it was more cohesive. Also you forgot to mention that the game has achievements and some of them are related to ScareScraper so yeah. Props to Next Level Games for putting out such high quality game out. Maybe a couple other Nintendo studios could learn a thing or two.

[@ashleysavoie3202]

I love your scale from 1-7! so charming!

[@CarrieredAway]

I’ve been waiting for this video for months!!! Thank you!

[@KibbyDragon839]

This is a great looking switch game and game in general.

[@bandicootsauce4569]

Best Switch game of 2019. Fight me.

[@tom-smo2844]

i will not fight because you're actually right !

[@cowboyrandy2721]

I had never played a Luigi's Mansion game before this one. All I heard from the franchise was that it was really great. This game did not let me down when I played it. Personally I somehow found it challenging to get an A rank at first but thats because I blasted through the game. This will forever be one of my favorite games of all time

[@PhantomShadow224]

You can make the slam last longer by timing your button presses as the ghost hit the floor. With that it’s possible to get 4-6 slams in one cycle instead of 3. I loved this game and it made me nostalgic about dark moon. But I do miss the ghost bios (even though I can make up my own tragic story for each boss ghost in my head), new game plus, using the super suction on a boss.

[@joyfreg89]

Am i the only one who wants a Luigi's odyssey? Luigi's ODDyssey... Man i need to work for nintendo. AWESOME REVIEW as always Arlo your objective criticism is always refreshing; Giving leeway to common sense makes your reviews better than most biased creators.

[@lordroy88]

This is such an excellent game that I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did. The music and art style are some of Nintendo’s best, the puzzles and bosses are genuinely mind blowing and made me wish for more, The ScareScraper mode and overall gameplay are just fantastic!

[@mamodokod4613]

I also loved how freaking FAST you can slam the ghosts made me just out laughing every time!

[@mudshrooze]

This is one of the first games in years that when I got it played it through completely before pausing for a bit. It's my all time top favorite switch game. AND think it looks the best

[@TheMattLuigi]

Arlo: this game is not perfect. Proceeds to give it a perfect score.

[@NetConsole]

Yes, but keep in mind that a perfect score doesn't mean the game itself is perfect (no game is); It just means that he liked the game better than the games he has given a 6 out of 7 to. This kind of distiction is really important.

[@yosher]

As a speedrunner of the first Luigis mansion (or at least I used to be) I found this video incredible! It seems that our opinions for the series are near identical. Keep up the great work!

[@Crushenator500]

Thank you for not spoiling too much. I really want to play this eventually but have been working through my backlog still.

[@wetsocks4460]

0:22 I can’t get over how comedically awkward this scene is

[@dr.kineilwicks7002]

"I've been waiting for this game for twenty years." *me, remembering when the first one came out* Arlo why u hurt me this way. ;^;/

[@katzedoll4499]

I've been waiting for you to do a video on LM3

[@via3600]

I’m still recovering from how absolutely fantastic Luigi’s Mansion 3 looks It just makes me smile every time I look at it

[@Ketchup1810]

Luigis mansion 4 should take place at a theme park

[@mats.644]

We will never know how the ghosts became so rich!

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Exactly. The art deco hotel theme mixed with the themed floors is just perfect, and how every theme is cleanly incorporated into the artstyle of Luigis Mansion. Everythings pretty, the Stage with the ballerina ghost and the musician with calls to french, german, and russian musicality. The clothing shop with the elegant outfits and beautiful displays. The garage with the garage aspect to it. The beautiful mezzanine level kitchen restaurant. Lobby, grand and very beautifully themed. The 5th floor hallway with gorgeous sconces and a winding hallway, even a beautiful mirror view of the cold purple midnight outside. It's all gorgeous. That kind of grand foyer with a shaking tree in heavy rainy wind outside in sharp cold contrast to the warm grandious interior. It's absolutely gorgeous and I will always have 5 more things to compliment this game on. I would make it my life if it weren't for my short term memory loss.

[@mAcroFaze]

I'm unwell and in a load of pain right now (not COVID-19 related, thank God!), a good half hour of Arlo is exactly what I need :)

[@sanay1974]

Im in full lock down from Friday and my GCSEs (British version of SATS) has been cancelled. what should i do?

[@That_Guy3604]

Play Luigi's Mansion 3 (if you have a switch) or just play any Luigi's Mansion game

[@kaytxy]

Do little things you love that your able to do from inside whether that be playing your favourite video game or watching your favourite movie, maybe even try to stay active by working out if possible, though I know that isn't for everybody. Personally, I've been doing those along with spending time with my family and pets long with working on my art skills. Don't forget to keep calm through all of this but still be aware of what's happening so you know what you should be doing. Though I honestly don't know that much I'm just a tired high school kid but hopefully, this helps a little :) So, in short, spend time with your loved ones if possible, do things you love and keep yourself busy with hobbies so you don't get bored while still being aware and informed. And obviously, take care of your mental and physical health. You deserve to be happy :D Sorry if this was long

[@Gamer-wf3jx]

Didn’t talk about how too bright the hotel is.

[@SonofMrPeanut]

What might be my personal favorite aspect of the game is the boss ghosts. This may be some of the most creative and fun to execute fights I've seen in a Nintendo game in some time.

[@Gintoki_Freecss]

I completely thought you did a review of this sooner, I didn't think it'd take you THIS long to actually make one and share it to all of us, but anyways, great job, you did an excellent review on this game and I'm looking forward to what you'll be reviewing in the near future.
