Gameplay
The modern remake of MediEvil does a fine job at recreating the 1998 classic with some added bells and whistles but some issues keep it from feeling like a game that released in 2019. The camera can be wonky, the combat can be repetitive and clunky, the checkpoints are unforgiving, and the enemies feel really cheap at times.
The game is still really fun to play and people who adored the original will most likely have no qualms with how the game is presented today, but for those looking for a fresh new action-platformer on PS4, there are better options out there for you.
As far as Luigi’s Mansion 3’s gameplay goes, it’s much more solid and easy to handle, making it very accessible to new players and veterans alike. Using Luigi’s Poltergust (vacuum cleaner) feels better than ever and interacting with the environment, sucking up ghosts, and looking for hidden gems and boos is so satisfying that it can be hard to put the game down.
Each and every boss fight in the game feels different from the last with interesting mechanics coming into play to make things feel fresh and varied –each one is also brimming with personality even without any voice acting.
Luigi’s Mansion 3 plays flawlessly on the Switch and so far, there have not been any issues such as camera controls or clumsy combat sequences. The gameplay is superb and will most likely go down as one of the best Switch exclusives of 2019.
Winner: Luigi’s Mansion 3
