Longest Luigi's Mansion confirmed!
Very excited for this game. Pretty much this and Jedi: Fallen Order are my last two big purchases (and maybe Death Stranding, depending on reviews/impressions).

Sounds like the thing I've been worried most about, the combat, turned out to be a reasonable concern. I severely missed the tug-of-war aspects from the original in Dark Moon, and I don't like the idea of slamming ghosts to "kill" them rather than sucking them up. I'm also bummed to hear that the currency is basically useless, as shooting for a high score was one of my favorite bits about the original as well. Does anyone know if there's some sort of endgame rating based on currency or if it's strictly for purchasing stuff?
I'm not as concerned about atmospheric changes not adhering as close to the original as some may be, but these systems should have definitely been more like it.

if you want to complete the game,it's more than that.it's 35 hrs+.

Took me about 25 to do EVERYTHING the first time through, without looking at guides. And I play slowly and methodically. The first post of this page is pretty accurate I'd say.
Ah ! Don't have my save anymore i think,but i am sure it was more than 35.
Maybe i am bad at videogames :(
Give yourself a break, everyone plays at their own pace :). It was significantly longer than the first game, and this looks to be too.

Great reviews. Really excited to play it. I loved both Luigi's Mansion games so I'm sure this will be right up my alley.
17 hours for a Luigi's Mansion game sounds...too long. Dark Moon felt long in the tooth but the mission structure didn't help. I'm hoping it's less noticeable this time. Still super excited for it!
The first game is pretty much mission-structured as well as you have a set number of ghosts to catch before going back to the Doc.
Also curious about how the co-op works. Is there co-op available immediately?

Watched Gamexplain reviews and, Andre pretty much hits how I feel about the game. It's good and I will enjoy playing it but eh the first Luigi Mansion will always be the better game and the slam attack is a misfit for the series.
I am also not a fan of the Gooluigi as it's obviously multiplayer tacked onto a single player game. 😕

As I understand it, you can drop in and out as you please.
This is almost 2013 3DS level of awesomeness, in terms of games (especially with Sword and Shield hitting in 3 weeks).
It sounds like you have to wait until you get Gooigi to play co-op, though. Looking forward to playing through this with my five year old. She is hyped to be Gooigi.
this is mildly disappointing to read/watch about this morning. I am still buying the game but it sounds like they did not learn from Dark Moon's flaws and made the combat worse. The great thing about Luigi's Mansion 1 is it's extremely replayable once a year. Dark Moon never interested me in another playthrough (I couldn't be bothered to 100% it either, the requirements for max ranking on the missions were so tight at times) and this is looking similar.
I will definitely try to use the slam sparingly.

Good to see Next Level Games bouncing back from Federation Force. Their talent was never in any doubt.

Hey Luigi get up, it's time to slam now
We got vacuum jam goin' down
Welcome to your Mansion
Here's your chance, at the manse for the third time
Alright...
Come on and slam, so your vacuum wont be jammed!
Come on and slam, don't wanna get that jam!
Ghostly ghouls in the house lets go
It's your boy "King Boo" a'ight, so
Pass that 'gust and watch me suck
Behind my back, don't try my luck
Press A to jam, all in your face
Wassup, just feel the bass
Drop 'em, rock 'em, 'round the room
Shake 'em, quake 'em, ghost KABOOM...
Just work that 'Gust, work that 'Gust make sure you suck more than dust
Don't get spooked and lose your bro, Poltergust will suck and blow!
Hey Gooigi, TURN IT UP!
'Cause Luigi gon' suck it up
C'mon y'all get on the floor so hey, let's go a'ight.

This was kind of what I was hoping to avoid. It depends on how quickly Gooigi is acquired though
I'm gonna be that guy and point out that Luigi's Mansion 1's combat was honestly average at best. Once you figure out the "trick" to subduing ghosts it trivializes one too many encounters to spamming the control stick. It might feel satisfying but it didn't have much mechanical depth to it at all.
I really think what props up the original Luigi's Mansion is mainly the atmosphere and the world design. The combat is some of my least favorite parts, especially catching Boos. The controls also weren't all that elegant either. I think the modern reception to the Luigi's Mansion 3DS remaster is kind of a reflection of that; the game has aged in a lot of aspects.

I certainly don't agree about the Ghost Slam move. There's nothing particularly exciting about vaccuming ghosts one by one when you have a big group, the slam is fun and a viable strategy for when you are about to be attacked from a ghost while you're vaccuming another. It's not like the "combat" is the main focus, ever was hard or is particularly complex to say that the balance is broken. You simply can take out bigger groups (that wouldn't exist without this move) faster and have some fun slamming ghosts. Saying that there is no tug of war is frankly wrong, it still is there, you just don't do it as much, which frankly, is much more fun. The tug of war alone gets boring after a while, especially in rooms with multiple ghosts, now you have more moves to break it up. You do some tug of war, you slam, you slam against another ghost, it's a much less repetitive experience and the added mechanics make combat more interesting, even if it's very easy (which it always was).
The game is easy for experienced players, sure, but there's a lot of puzzles and exploring to do to reach 100%, which takes some head scratching and attention. For less experienced players, it's not very hard to take a lot of damage in a boss fight and die, the game isn't that much of a cake walk for them. I'm not the kind of player that needs every game to be tough as nails though. How anyone can find LM better than this is beyond me.

it's honestly exhausting. every time i say it's my last but i can't stop myself with nintendo games, lol.
thankfully i don't care that much about pokemon so someone else has to do that :)
I really can't believe we live in a time where reviews are so inflated and expectations are so high that 86 isn't considered outstanding..
Fixed! :)
I mean it's the reality we are in. I'm not a fan of school grading scaling either, but 86 means really good, but not amazing.
Yea, I noticed that as well. Reading the actual review I came away thinking it would have had a higher numbered score.
