COUNTDOWN: Ten Games to Play on Switch This Halloween #1 Luigi’s Mansion 3

C’mon. It had to be Luigi’s Mansion 3 in the top spot right? Having taken over development duties with Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon for the 3DS (and also behind the great Punch-Out!! for Wii), Next Level Games proved themselves to be a studio with formidable technical skills and a real eye for art design. And here, once again their work on Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a sight to behold with stunning animation and gorgeous details oozing from every corner of the screen. It is hands down one of the most graphically gorgeous games ever released featuring these characters and is a no brainer for the Halloween season. I’m just gonna say it: This is Nintendo’s “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

That translates to: We’ve got ourselves a tradition.

If you own a Nintendo Switch, love Halloween, enjoy scary video games or at least one of the latter two combined with the first, you probably already own this game. But if not, whew boy what a treat you’re in for! The cinematic cut scenes rival any Mario movie released in theaters this year and the character on display is where this game shines. It really feels like you’re playing a CG animated film, the results are both spooky and hilarious! This one gets my highest recommendation and I am very happy for anyone playing it for the first time.

Have a Happy Halloween with this one!
