I don't really know why these games receive the praise they do.
My brief history with LM as a series:
I love Luigi as a character. Always have. He was always my choice as a kid in every Mario game. I was super excited when Luigi's Mansion 1 came out; he was finally getting his own game! Played it at launch and was very disappointed. It's boring.
Since then I've avoided the series, but this year I decided to finally try out 3. It received enough praise at this point that I was willing to give it another chance.
Nope. It's still pretty boring. I like the presentation. It's a pretty game, and the way Luigi emotes is great. The music adds to the silly/spooky vibe - it's great too.
Everything else, though - meh. It just felt like a chore to scour each room and suck up a bunch of coins that felt meaningless. Puzzles are generally the low point of every game I play, and this game is essentially nothing but puzzles.
It's just not for me. There's little to no challenge and there wasn't anything pulling me forward or encouraging me to continue exploring. It also began to feel repetitive very early on. After 7 hours or so, I'm out.

@Serious to be quite honest I never use Mario unless I have to! I always prefer using just about anyone else hahaha. Luigi is usually my go to!
The vacuum felt alright in terms of the controls. I didn't mind it, actually. I just had no desire to accomplish anything and it was all too simple/easy.
The vacuuming mechanics and controls of this game, but you're are also genuinely fighting things with weapons and the vacuum is an accessory would be fantastic.
Hahaha I'm too spoiled by From Software games. I just want everything to be a Souls game. Glad you enjoyed it though.
