Grim Fandango Remastered

The time have made the memories golden

Like the title says, I think this is one of the games, that haven't aged all that well, and I don't only mean the visual output. The story and athmosphere and certain wittyness is still there, but otherwise... Well, let's put it in this way: I can recommend the game. Especially, if you loved the game back in the days, you'll probably still love playing thru it a lot. But new comers or people who weren't that into it for some reason back in the days, might want to prepare to be a bit disappointed. Trying to put a pros/cons list up with a fresh eye, not hanging on memories: Pros: + Story/athmosphere, especially for noir fans. + Mostly really good voice acting and dialogue writing, that still is top notch stuff. + Mouse controls: finally! Thank you! Makes the experience so much more fluent. Cons: - For a LucasArts game, there are surprisingly many unlogical/far fetched puzzles. - A LOT of "empty" locations, which leads to a LOT of running around and downtime. - The inventory system is still a very unintuitive and slow, and is a huge barrier against solving some puzzles, especially the unlogical ones. - Location/level design in (especially) Rubacava is honestly quite bad. A lot of times you feel disoriented, almost lost, not remembering which way leads to where. - Bugs... save often! :P
