great
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is a great installment in Nintendo’s spectre-snaring series, even if it’s not the best one you can play on the Switch.

Can just get pretty boring, fell asleep during gameplay a few times actually, but when it’s fun, it’s really fun.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 is perhaps the best-looking game on Switch. When you play it back to back with Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD — an updated port of a 3DS game — the differences are glaringly obvious. The lighting (virtually no shadow-casting) is a step back from even the GameCube original. The audio is in stereo only. The visuals, while pleasing, aren’t even in the same league as LM3’s But its biggest limitation remains that the quest is sliced up into shorter missions — perhaps appropriate for what we expected on 3DS, but here it frequently disrupts game flow.
You may have eyes on a hidden jewel and you’re about to try and figure out how to grab it, but then the quest ends and you’re forcefully brought back to the Professor’s Lair. For needless exposition and the option to replay that same mission or head somewhere completely different. That, in addition to the frequent (mandatory) “tips” interruptions shows Luigi’s Mansion 2’s age. It’s a good game with some fun environments, acceptable controls (LM3, again, wins here handily), and some nice tunes. It’s worth a replay, but it’ll likely greatly improve your appreciation of its must-play sequel.

Luigi's Mansion 2HD was a fun game but frustrating . This remake was harder than the first and third entry in Luigi's Mansion series. The only reason this game is difficult is due to a severe lack if Save Checkpoints which Nintendo first party games are usually pretty generous with. This game is mission based and while there are 5 different haunted locations you are required to return after every single mission. This was a minor annoyance for myself cause i did not really see a point in returning after every mission. The real problem i had was when you died. When you die on a mission you have to start all over again. None of the progression is saved. So if you spend 45 minutes on a level collecting coins and jewels and die on the boss, you lose everything. This is something that was frustrating in the original games and should have been fixed in this updated version.
