Complete noob here. How do I get away from the King Boo at the very beginning? Just run away going left? I stop to shine him but it's not working
and I become a painting.

man people aren't lying. the presentation here is killer. art design is so lush and cartoonish in a good way. the music is suitably trippy. the jump scares a silly and very Abbott & Costello Meet Dracula. Visually it is stunning and I like how they framed it to look like a scene out of a Marx Brothers movie. But done by Pixar, ofc!

Picked this up today, impressions sound really great! Considering this really wasn't on my hype radar, it might just surprise me in many ways it seems like

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Picked this up today after telling myself I wasn’t going to.

Well dang the animations in this game are so so so good! A lot of fun to just walk around and see Luigi react to his environment. An interactive cartoon!
Wa hoo hoo hoo!
Oh ye!

The mouse and the elevator button.
This game is something you can point to when explaining your Nintendo fandom to someone who might not it, and have them instantly get it. It’s just a pure joy in every way imaginable.
I did have a beef with the combat, but that’s settling down a bit, as I understand the nuances of the system.

I literally hunted down this thread to say this. Idk what they did with the animation but it looks so neat in motion.

Luigi’s Mansion was one of my favorite (if not favorite) games on GCN and LM2 was awesome, even though I never beat it.
I always wanted the series on Wii with the Wiimote and Nunchuck, but that never materialized.
After playing this game for only a couple of hours, I’m in love! Luckily, I still have a ton of game to go!
And the graphics? Wow. Granted, I have an mClassic to upscale my Switch and add anti-aliasing, but it may be the best looking title on the system.

Is it just me, or are gold coins pretty much useless? I thought there would be upgrades but there are none. Like increasing gooluigi's health.

What time is it?
I think they'll come in handy if you are a completionist (Boo and Gem Cartridges), but I'm a tad disappointed myself. I just got to floor nine and I'm at 25K coins and have 3 Golden Bones.
You can buy location of The gems and boos.

Also if you press both at the same time you'll get the UV light which again is a godsend when you're moving the torch around.

Totally. I think this might be the most fantastic, polished design I’ve seen all year.

I am so glad I picked this up (I wasn't going to). This is the BEST Luigi's Mansion.

Just completed this last night. I loved it. The only major flaws I’d point out are, the controls (even using bumpers only). They were so fiddly in a pinch. A couple of the bosses where annoying due to fumbling with the controls. The other thing that I didn’t like was the ghost cat. Padding for padding’s sake.
the variety of the rooms were amazing and kept me wanting to see more.Got a rank of B when I completed it and looking forward to going back in to get the remaining gems and boo’s.

I gave up on the gems after Tomb Suites. I had been collecting them floor-by-floor up until that point but gathering them has become tedious -- and a touch predictable as they begin to recycle hiding patterns after a while. The gems begin to feel like padding for the sake of padding. The fun of finding them has evaporated so I broke down and looked up the reward and was equally disappointed. I doubt I'll go back and finish gathering them. I probably wouldn't have minded if it was only 3 or 4 per level rather than 6.
Overall, I'd say story mode was great and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I have no motivation or desire to run through it again. I haven't touched multiplayer yet but unless it's absolutely fantastic I doubt I'll be playing it much long term. I'm kinda wishing I had just gotten a 3-day Redbox rental for this one but, on the other hand, the devs deserve the money for the craft they put into the game.
The controls were the only reason I ever died in the game. They're fine most of the time but in hectic situations with lots of ghosts or fast moving haunts (like the trash cans) or bosses, the sluggish turning and aiming imprecision become apparent.

I made sure to try 100% that area so I wouldn’t have to go back.... I was very upset a hour or so later.

I loved the Boilerworks level, wasn't even there for too long and the gimmick was fairly straight forward! Don't think I've come across a weak floor yet, and I'm 2 floors away from the end too!

So I have a few reservations about this game before I get it.
It looks fun but would you say the combat is too repetitive?
How long would you say the game is?
Is the 2 player coop mode fun?

This is the only switch game I've come across so far in my collection that looks drastically better docked. Makes me wonder what other devs are doing
I think handheld takes a hit for that visual ambition though. We'll have to wait for the DF analysis, but I'm pretty sure we're looking at sub-720p in portable, although not by much.
I'm not the biggest fan of doing that, as I generally prefer handheld, but I suppose it does make sense to make the console experience as beautiful as possible as well (Some Year 1 games didn't look as good docked) , and the game still looks absolutely great portable.
It's interesting to see how different developers tackle it. Some prioritize handheld, some prioritize docked (Xenoblade 2 being an extreme), and some try to get a very similar presentation across in both modes.

I have to assume optimization for both takes time away from dev time so it would make sense they focus on one.
Unusually I play handheld as well but this game has been pro controller on the OLED 90 percent of the time.

Can't say how long it is, but if you're the type to explore, it definitely looks like it has meat on its bones. Every single room is a blast to explore, with plenty of hidden stuff, and puzzles (often optional) to solve.
Combat can be. It's not my favorite aspect of this game. That said, finding, exposing, and getting enemies to drop their guard is tied in with some truly enjoyable, masterful gameplay and headscratchers. Even if the ghost vacuuming part is a little simplistic, getting them to that part is joyful.
I haven't played co-op, but I hear good things. Just keep in mind that it's apparently about a half an hour before you get the 'Gooigi' ability that unlocks co-op. Just so you don't have a friend sitting around awkwardly.

Anyone here usually play invert? I have never been able to play with normal controls, and I read this has no invert Y option, just wondering if any 'goofy' players like me have been able to modify their playstyle, as this looks like something I would LOVE but I dont want to be wrestling with controls the whole time.

The combat is definitely not deep by any means. But there's enough puzzles in-between I don't find it boring.
I'm at about 8 hours and I think I'm over the half way point but I'm exploring everything and trying to get all the gems and boos. If you mainline it, it's probably 8 hours. With everything in gonna guess 12-15.

Former invert player here, but that might not be of as much use.
I seem to use the gyro exclusively for looking up and down, a habit I picked up from Luigi's Mansion 2 on 3DS without the second analog stick, and I will say that feels really, really good and natural. I pretty much don't touch the stick for up and down stuff.
