Endlessly charming and impressively animated, but ultimately feels like a missed opportunity: what I hoped was an exploration-focused adventure through a haunted hotel felt more like a linear cruise through a harmless theme park. Still worth a look for the gorgeous visuals and an instant recommendation for younger gamers, but if you're like me, hoping that LM3 will recapture some of the magic of the original Luigi's Mansion, then it might be time to lay this series to rest.
