About Luigi's Mansion

Luigi steps out from the shadow of his brother Mario and into the gloomy shadows of a very haunted house in this, his first-ever starring role. When Luigi learns that he's the proud new owner of a creepy old mansion, he's thrilled. Of course, his feelings immediately shift when his brother, the storied Mario, disappears from the house. Now, you'll have to help Luigi track his brother down, making your way through expansive 3D levels. Each stage is packed with ghosts and ghouls to put you on edge; and you'll be armed with a flashlight and a vacuum cleaner to help you capture your foes. Armed with a flashlight and a customized vacuum cleaner, Luigi must rid the mansion of Boos and ghouls -- and find his missing brother to boot!

My roommate refused to hold the controller but stayed on the couch the whole time giving directions from a safe distance, we finished it together like that…

    My roommate refused to hold the controller but stayed on the couch the whole time giving directions from a safe distance, we finished it together like that over a couple of weekends

    Every time this thing lands against Killer7 or Nocturne it feels like a mismatch of genre, cute horror versus actual dread, and yet it keeps winning duels which says something about how votes work here

    JazlynMaster

    Mismatch or not, my kids call it their scary game and that alone earns it a spot somewhere on this list

  3. LootAce

    ¿Alguien más piensa que da demasiado poco miedo para estar en esta categoría de survival horror?

    BossMaster2010

    scary category, technically speaking

  4. ComboLegend

    Face à Nocturne, Luigi's Mansion c'est le maillon un peu doux du classement, un fantôme aspiré ça reste moins traumatisant qu'un démon qui vous parle philosophie

    NeonRunner58

    Je l'ai fait avec mon petit frère qui avait peur du noir, et justement ça marchait parce que ce n'était jamais du Silent Hill

    QuestRunner25

    yeah but calling it the doux one kind of undersells how weird that framing is, it's not soft, it's just aimed at a different age group honestly

  5. GhostLegend98

    Les ennemis sont mignons plus qu'effrayants, l'ambiance manoir fonctionne mais la peur reste absente du tableau

    yleannon

    Isn't the comparison to Killer7 unfair from the start, given how differently each one wants you to feel scared?

    Ma nièce s'endort devant sans problème, ça reste doux, mais ça a son charme quand même
