While Mario isn't the main character in Luigi's Mansion 3, Luigi is out to rescue him and Princess Peach from a hotel filled with silly ghosts in this title. Play as the younger-yet-taller brother and watch him shine as he sucks specters up Ghostbusters-style with his Poltergust G-00 and solves puzzles on each floor. One of the best things about this game is that it features optional two-player co-op where Player 1 takes control of Luigi and Player 2 takes control of his gelatinous double, Gooigi. They both have skill sets that the other doesn't have so you'll need to work together to solve puzzles and defeat bosses.
