A disaster instead of a 'remaster'.

Maybe it was a masterpiece when it was born. Maybe it stirred up the industry of PC gaming when it firstly appeared. Maybe it redefined click games by its exceptional art, audio, etc. Unfortunately, nowadays this game is a disaster. You will encounter super difficult puzzles, which might not be solvable without referring to guides. This is acceptable, since back in the days the game scene was totally different, and certain groups of players like this kind of hardcore puzzle games. Nevertheless, even with a guide, you can still find yourself stuck--because of bugs. If you want to let players enjoy solving difficult puzzles, then do not mix bugs in the game to confuse players. If you cannot deal with your bugs, then give some hints to players so that players know what might be wrong. When I was stuck and tried to search for the solution online, I found that a lot of players were stuck at different locations due to different glitches. I avoided some, but unfortunately this one blocked my progress. I progressed a lot after the glitch and did not realize it until I could not go further. I would have to restart from an early save. It is frustrating. Admittedly, players can save the game from time to time so that they can load a save that is not long ago. However, this game only has 6 save slots, so I had to keep my saving intervals long, which added more severity to a broken save.

Good Story, Terrible Game

Long story short, this game comes from a time when many developers utilized obtuse and tedious gameplay mechanics to pad the length of their games. This wasn't entirely unreasonable at the time, making big games requires a lot of storage and storage was at a premium, but it just does not hold up to the standards of modern games. Grim Fandango does have a very good story and some interesting characters, the setting is likewise quite intriguing in its choice of influences. But this doesn't make up for the limitations in gameplay. If you don't mind dealing with a puzzle game that will have you fumbling around for solutions to ambiguous goals, this classic might work for you. If you, like me, don't have any desire to spend your leisure time on tedious tasks (I have a job for that!) this game is probably not for you.

Entertaining but Dated

The strengths are known, excellent writing and visual charm, but it remains extremely dated. Most glaringly, as was the case with point and click adventures of the era, it is often exceedingly obtuse. Furthermore, the remastering is very incomplete and the Linux version is finicky. The former is helped by the Grim Fandango Remastered HD amateur project and the latter by just running the Windows version using Wine/Proton. Even though the solutions ultimately are clever and entertaining, you can expect no shortage of frustration before then. I say this as someone who, though they were before my time, appreciates them very much. A hint system a la Monkey Island Remastered (or most other modern P&C's) would have been suberb but instead you can expect to fumble for hours unsure if the solution is something you haven't thought of, or also just your difficulty activating the right object, timing an interaction, or spotting something in the pixelated background. Perhaps, you just should be comfortable using a walkthrough, but then perhaps you should save your money and just watch someone play it instead. Sorry, Double Fine, this is ultimately a difficult recommendation to anyone who does not already want a slightly more playable version of the previous, flawed game.

Once a masterpiece- always a masterpiece

When Grim Fandango went out- it wasn't, by any means, a flawless game, but one can argue that it never was a game in the first place. It's a piece of culture, a mastepriece of beautiful craftsmanship. From the dark bridges and streets of casabalnesque Rubacava, to the undewater coral mines on the edge of the world, the Land of the Dead amuses with its spiritual richness and depth. The journey of Manuel Calavera isn't just a pursuit after Mece- it's a pursuit after long-lost justice, emotions and, ultimately- the sense of life and death itself. With polished textures and improved lighting, acompanied with one of the best orchestral soundtracks in years (masterfully brought back to life for the remastered edition), this gem, while retaining some flaws of the original, just cannot be percieved through them- just as noone is judging Rembrandt's canvases through the quality and age of their material, but for the essence that resonates though them. And the resonation of Grim Fandango was, indeed, never such a strong one.
