Something's rotten in the land of the dead, and you're being played for a sucker. Meet Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death. He sells luxury packages to souls on their four-year journey to eternal rest. But there's trouble in paradise. Help Manny untangle himself from a conspiracy that threatens his very salvation.
One of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time is now back, better than ever. Grim Fandango's epic story of four years in the life (or death) of Manny Calavera, travel agent to the dead, has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better than when it won GameSpot's Game of the Year award upon its original launch. Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.
Grim Fandango Remastered includes:
Repainted, hi-res character textures
New, dynamic lighting
Classic score re-recorded with a full live orchestra
Crashes. Bugs, old and new - some game breaking. Not to mention unoptimized updated visuals that can make a lower end device struggle with what is, essentially, a 1998 game.
Calling it a remaster and asking money for what it adds is unbelievable to me.

Do not miss the opportunity to play this gem, definitely one of the best points and click of your time, innovating with the mix of 2d and 3d! I recommend 100%. Awesome story, intuitive gameplay, just a little lacking in solving puzzles but nothing that affects you too much.
The game still holds up as a top ten even today! The Remastered version looks pretty similar to the original version though. Still an amazing game! One of the best adventure games of all time!
The pacing of the charming and engaging story is held back by poor puzzles that are too obtuse. There are multiple parts where it is unclear that what you are supposed to click on is even an interactable element of the background, so you might even have the right idea to solve a situation but be floundering to even accomplish it. Many times the solution could have been solved in a creative way too but ends up being a very mundane, lame answer.
The game also recycles locations near the end which isn't so bad, but the creativity in both scenarios and especially puzzles runs out of steam as it goes on.
The remaster should have given a reasonable hint system to smooth this over, but instead on launch it only provided glitches. These have mostly been fixed as of writing this, but I remember being stuck in the forklift elevator section on my prior playthrough years ago. The original game's visuals which are a toggleable option still hold up fine anyway and are impressive.
Overall a good game, but just use a guide when stuck. There's no satisfaction to some of these for how long it takes to figure something dumb out, if you don't just flat out give up.
