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!
