8 Great Video Games That Take Place In A SINGLE Building

8. Luigi’s Mansion 3

Whilst we all love the mansion from the first Luigi's Mansion, The Last Resort from Luigi's Mansion 3 is just infinitely more interesting. With the excuse of magic, every floor of this huge hotel is widely different from the last.

Yeah, you get more standard hotel floors like a lobby, a shopping area, and the basement but there are also floors that look like Ancient Egypt, a film set, and a pirate ship.

You would think that this would lead to the building feeling like a set of levels and not a singular structure but there's enough hotel imagery scattered around each floor to remind you that you're indeed in a magical tower and not an actual desert.

Luigi's Mansion works well as a franchise that takes place in buildings instead of wide-open areas. The joy of Luigi's Mansion is getting to know every room of a building, searching them all rigorously for treasure, coins, ghosts, and secrets, not running around an open field.

Whilst the series can technically work having you explore multiple buildings, just look at Luigi's Mansion 2. It works better when it's just you, Luigi, and a single building to conquer.
