Wonderful Adventure but disappointed

Disappointed?!? Then why the 5 stars? Against my personal expectation, I award this game 5 stars because I experienced no issues with game mechanics, story, or presentation of this game. I expected much more from this title because I had read on the internet (so it had to be true, right?) that this game was awarded #1 Adventure Game of all time by an Adventure game publication. This game was FAR from that for me. I enjoyed the original story, comedy, and the puzzles were pretty well thought out and often resulted in some form of hilarity. So, for the record, I did enjoy this game. It was just very shy from blowing me away like I expected it would. Not the developers fault by any means. You can expect an original story in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo design, as you play a grim reaper who you discover to be a struggling saleman trying to sell travel packages to speed good folks travels across the wrought-with-peril land of the dead to thier final destination and work off your time to earn yours. There are memorable characters, plot twists, and clever puzzles. If your an adventure game enthusiast and haven't played this game, you won't regret picking this up, but don't go in with my high expectations. If your looking for fun adventure gameplay with a comedic approach that you can find on GOG, I would definitely recommend Toonstruck and Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail over this title. If you've already played those titles and want some more, take a crack at this one.

Great Game, remastered with min effort

The game, story, audio and graphic is a 5 Star. But control is stupid and buggy. Both in the original and remastered version. I remember that in original Manny Calavera had to be controled by keyboard and cursor keys. I thought this to be a crazy concept. And it was. The remastered version now goes back to mouse control (great concept change!!!), but it's just buggy. There are multiple scenes were I got stuck because characters did hang up. And without auto-save this is not funny. For a game you can not die you don't save. But hell, in this game i did save a lot. Sound is great, story is great, Graphics are ok. But it's more or less the same as in the original game. So thanks to lukas Arts to make it in the first place. And some thanks to DFP to port the game to current operation systems.

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.

Beware stuck bugs, remember to save game

I did get stuck bugged twice and had to restart the game both times. The progress that was not saved was lost and I had to go again. Despite the stuck bug not being a huge issue for me the game does not auto save and that was an issue. Do remember to save manually every now and then so you don't have to go and repeat your lost progress.You do not have to go overboard with manual saving, I only got stuck two times, so do relax. You might not even encounter any bugs at all. I'm not really into Point-and-Click adventure. If you're someone unlike me and likes Point-and-Click you should definately try this one out. To be fair to the genre. This title could get 5 stars, however because of the stuck bugs mentioned above I'll leave 4 fair stars behind.

Amazing throwback!

I re-mastered "Grim Fandango Remastered " twice on my Andriod phone a few years ago, but then for some annoying reason, it was removed from Play Store, so I will be downloading it again on GOG.com. Hopefully will have a better experience using a touch-screen laptop. All in all, the remastered edition is even better than the original because of enhanced graphics and number two easier controls; simply use touch on a phone. Playing this game just took me back to my happy life childhood days :) Highly recommend (paying twice for it now to download and re-master for a third time lol!)
