![]() Luigi's Mansion 3 as a whole has issues: aiming your ghost-sucking vacuum can be frustratingly imprecise, and there are some tedious sequences that force you to backtrack through previously conquered levels for little added benefit. The game isn't particularly difficult, and because Gooigi is an essential part of solving many of the game's puzzles, your partner won't feel like a mere accessory while you do all the work. This gives them the freedom to fool around and die repeatedly without forcing you both to restart levels and boss fights. If your partner isn't well-versed in typical game mechanics, they can control "Gooigi," a Luigi clone made of green goo that has a lower health pool but infinite lives. ![]() Its two-player mode isn't available until an hour or so into the story, but at that point the rest of the game becomes one of the most accessible co-op campaigns in recent memory. I used a bluetooth connected PS4 controller and it worked fine.(Ars Technica may earn compensation for sales from links on this post through affiliate programs.) Luigi's Mansion 3 tasks Mario's sheepish little brother with rescuing his friends from the clutches of a haunted hotel. I didn't manage to host a session through my computer streamed to my phone, but I could easily join in other people's sessions and watch streams. To play your own games, you need to go through the Steam Link app, but, a little confusingly, to play with others it's easier to accept a friend's invite through a completely different app, Steam Chat. Using a Bluetooth connected controller is much easier. The Steam Link app comes with a controller touch screen overlay for phones, but with some multiplayer games, it's a bit awkward to use. To test if it worked with Remote Play I decided to try through my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S8. Steam Link lets you play games from any smartphone, tablet, laptop, or Smart TV as long as it has the Steam Link app installed. Last year, Valve ditched their Steam Link hardware and replaced it with a software equivalent, allowing users to enjoy Steam through a number of devices. On Remote Play's website, Steam says that all the features of Remote Play Together can work in conjunction with the Steam Link feature. ![]() (Image credit: Team 17) Together and anywhere ![]() This system works really well when you're playing games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, where one player can stream the game while up to twelve friends shout instructions at you through the voice channel. Some multiplayer games might only have two-player co-op, but streaming means that you can still chat with a larger group as they play. That person will receive a notification and can invite you to join. If you open up your friends list and see a group playing together, you can right-click and select 'watch play'. Steam's Remote Play Together also has a streaming feature that lets friends watch each other play. If you do have a hiccup, one thing that we found that worked was unplugging all the controllers and plugging them back in. Valve has detailed some recommended system specs and after having a look, most modern machines meet the requirements. Players can see if they're having issues when a little bandwidth symbol glows in the corner showing yellow for bad, and red for terrible. Moving Out's cute cartoonish visuals were perfect for everyone's hardware to handle, and latency was not an issue.
