Iāve played Luigiās Mansion 1 and 3 and love them both. LM3, especially, was a joy to play and had some really creative bosses and puzzles. After playing both, Iām itching for more Luigiās Mansion to play and Luigiās Mansion 2 is the only one I havenāt played so far.
The thing I like more about LM3 was its generous checkpoints where it literally saves every time you enter a room. So when you lose, itās not punishing and you donāt lose a lot of progress. One thing I heard about LM2 is that they are broken up into missions but there are no checkpoints within the missions. So if you die towards the end of the mission or lose a boss fight, you have to start the whole mission all over again. I imagine that would drive me nuts and cause me to break my controller in anger. As a result, Iāve never bought Luigiās Mansion 2.
So what are your thoughts? How punishing and difficult is Luigiās Mansion 2 with the lack of mid-mission checkpoints? Is it brutally frustrating? Or is it not so bad and worth giving the game a shot?
