Amazing story, weak puzzles

Truly unique game ! I have never played anything like it. Really cool story with interesting characters. I have to say I enjoyed it just because of that. It felt refreshing to play something so different and so good at the same time. That being said I am a big fan of the adventure games because of their puzzles. And in this game for /my surprise/ the puzzles are actually not good at all if I can even call them puzzles. Most of the time you have to find the right item to use. From all kind of types of puzzles you can find in adventure games this one is probably the worst especially when there is no logic. Just way too many random solutions to random "puzzles". Even when you know what you need to do to progress the game the solution is very often a random item or event where u need to do somewhere completely random elsewhere that makes sense just AFTER you do it because the game is scripted to make sense. After the 3rd act I almost stopped looking for solutions myself I just enjoyed the story !

A classic, but a low-effort remaster

Grim Fandago is a masterpiece in adventure games and should be played by anyone with a love of the genre. Everything - the story, art style, characters, writing, voice-acting, world-building and wit - is sublime. Easily one of my favourite games and stories of all time. Also easily my favourite game soundtrack ever - Peter McConnell did an amazing job and it is a huge boon to the atmosphere of the game world. The remaster is certainly worth playing. However, there are certain problems. There are game breaking bugs and infinite loops you can get yourself into. It took a few forum trips to resolve certain issues. Double Fine seemed to put in a low effort in testing the game. I also noticed many animation issues that didn't occur in the original. It's sad to see, years after release, that all these issues still exist. On the plus side, I really like playing with the mouse vs. the keyboard controls on the original - it was going against the grain of adventure games at the time. Other than that, the 'remastered' element are pretty mostly underwhelming. The graphics update doesn't always fit with the low resolution backgrounds. I would recommend this game to anyone. However, the remaster is quite a let down - much more could have been done with the source material. That said - it's a classic and worth a play!

Buggy

(Windows 10) I was able to play about 20% of the game before I encountered a bug that ended my run: in the forest when you need to move a wheelbarrow, my character would just disappear. I read online that other people have had this bug and I could not find a way around it. So even though I was enjoying Grim Fandango's universe, I cannot recommend this version.

Great without nostalgia

I played the game just last year, in the October auf 2022, and it was a fantastic point & click experience! The comedic writing was just really good and even the moon-logic puzzles felt fitting due to that. I also really liked the overall atmosphere, the characters grew to my heart and I was a bit sad, but also happy when the journey was over. Just how a good point & click story should go. So, if you like the genre, you should definitely check this out, it's reputation is a classic is well deserved.

Pretty But Messy

Never having played the game when it first came out, I get to actually review the game without nostalgia goggles. Grim Fandango is everything a 90s game was; imaginative story with frustrating gameplay. The remastered graphics make GF pleasant to look at, the world design is great, and the voice-acting as well as the overall sound design is very good, complementing the already engaging story that contains some memorable characters If you really think about it, the game is very short except when you play it for the first time without any walkthrough guides. You could technically finish it within a couple of hours but that first time will be torturous. The puzzles are awful, straight up. Half the time you wouldn't know where to go or what to do as the game rarely if ever gives you any clues. This is however, par for the course for most of point-and-click adventures from the 90s, and because of this, a lot of patience is required for hours upon hours of trial and error. In retrospect, most of us just didn't think any of it because we were kids with too much time on our hands but for today, this kind of puzzle mechanic is very very annoying. And you WILL be annoyed if you attempt to play this game first time without a guide. Was it fun for me though? Yeah~ kind of~ Though, I think it's fair to say that games such as these have become dated and really, does not stand the test of time very well.
