Grim Fandango Remastered

What a wonderful game GOG was able to pick up. There were a few wtf moments in puzzles (talking to you Ch3), but aside from a few frustrations, the OPTION to not use tank-controls, I would say this game deserves even the most casual of players to sit and enjoy the fun Mexican-Soap before you. Every character is enchanting, memorable, and a hoot to interact with. The game itself is nothing too groundbreaking for todays standards, but it is so charming and inviting that you won't be able to put it down. anyway, 10/10 dunk points

I played this for the first time in 2018 and it was a great 3 day experience (12 hours total). I don't know the different between the original and remastered, so I am just reviewing based on this version. Story - Really fun and entertaining! The entire game was paced well and kept me interested to see the next act. Excellent humor and writing, but mostly the voice acting was just superb. Each character was likable and unique. Game play - Top notch and exactly what I expect from a point and click adventure game. Hardly any back-tracking with the only major exception being the second year area. The item inventory was neat but a little cumbersome; I prefer to open a drawer/window/menu and see all items rather than having to scroll through them. Movement/Controls - It was mostly fine with a few clunky spots or camera angles, but I really can't complain. I used the mouse almost exclusively and only used the keyboard movement for two puzzles that required more precision than just clicking on the screen. I didn't use keybindings at all. Art - For its age I was impressed the the art. The areas were all unique and the backdrops were good. Character models were just fine and animated well. Puzzles - Some of the solutions were a little obtuse due to the nature of the game (otherworldly), but with a little thought and attention they were easily solved (use all your items!). Audio - The soundtrack was amazing, easily setting the stage for many of the moments or areas in the game. The voices were all well done and sound effects just spot on. Game stability - I only had one specific area that I could constantly cause a crash and it was at the start of Year 3. Otherwise the game ran fine on Windows 10. My only criticism is that running at a higher resolution caused some issues when I needed to click on something small.
