Let's talk about Luigi's Mansion original vs 3. Visuals? Check. Luigi's Mansion 3 is gorgeous with its dynamic lighting and animations, while the original has its charm but can't compete. Gameplay? LM3 hands down, the Poltergust G-00 mechanics are far superior, giving more control and variety.
The ghosts, though. That's where it gets interesting. The original had unique ghost designs and personalities, those portrait ghosts, man! LM3 went for quantity and variety instead. Both have their merits.
Now, the difficulty. Sorta feel the original had a spookier vibe and was a tad more challenging. LM3 is more accessible, sure, but could've used a bit more bite.
And can we talk about the multiplayer in LM3? Scarescraper is gold, legit! Makes the game replay value skyrocket. The original didn't have this at all.
Overall, both games have their place but if I have to pick one? Luigi's Mansion 3, because it's a more polished and complete experience. Don't @ me.
I kinda miss the portrait ghosts in the OG Luigi's Mansion. Wish they would've brought some of that back in 3. But hey, gotta say LM3's ghost hunting is satisfying as heck with that slam move!
