Luigi's Mansion 2 HD review: A pleasing Nintendo Switch port of a great 3DS game


Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a smart port for Nintendo Switch and a must-play for fans of the beanpole plumber

The game doesn’t quite hit the heights of the excellent Luigi’s Mansion 3 – as you might expect – but those who missed out over a decade ago will find plenty to enjoy, as will fans of the beanpole plumber’s more recent ghost-busting antics. Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is a pleasant reminder that the technology can add an extra element to the gameplay, creating a tangible sensation as you hoover up bulky bits of treasure and capture those meddling ghosts. The mission-based structure of Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is great if you’re someone who likes to play in short bursts, but it means you’ll be revisiting the same areas on multiple occasions, often retreading your steps.
