Grim Fandango Remastered

I couldn't run fast enough to something to save my enthusiam for this game. No wonder they were giving it out for free a while ago.

This "remasterization" can only be sold because its name. It is a very poor job, reusing the old background without re-rendering new ones or adapting them to aspects like 16:9, just the old 4:3 ratio. I'm not able to say the sound band has been remastered as well, it sounds like the original. The only things that look remastered are the models, because the "new" light effects, resolution and textures look face washed.

what it says in the title

Grim Fandango was a masterpiece and deserves a 5 star on its own. Reviews to the game are found everywhere. I see though, the remaster is not loved. Well let me remind you of something: -Original grim is barely playable in today's OS even using SCUMM Virtual Machine. And yet it will still crash and corrupt. You will not have to worry AT ALL about this with the remastered version. -It includes Author's comments .. isn't this why we are re-buying this classic? -The graphical enhancements are.. perfect. They improved mostly the 3d textures and left all the beautiful art in its original shine MOST IMPORTANT: - The remaster didn't profane the orignal game in any way: no unfitting extra content, no great alter of art, it removed glitches and bugs and added none, AND it set a price for an old game (unlike other enhanced editions.. that cost the same as any today's game) THIS is what I want from remasters you know. I.E. Baldur's gate EE while good, added a bunch of badly devised and badly acted characters that are , mind you, unavoidable. That's the kind of intrusion you dont find here, and it doesnt cost as much ;)

A nostalgic version, with that mystique of Schafer. He manages to catch us with a stage of the Mesoamerican underworld, and a film noir script. For me, it is one of those experiences that anyone should play. Calavera, Meche and Glottis form a great triad of interesting heroes, who go in search of redemption in a trite world full of puzzles that will make you be abstract. Thanks to Gog, I could get him it as a gift.
