Something's rotten in the land of the dead, and you're being played for a sucker. Meet Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death.

One of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time is now back, better than ever. Grim Fandango's epic story of four years in the life (or death) of Manny Calavera, travel agent to the dead, has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better than when it won GameSpot's Game of the Year award upon its original launch. Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.
Grim Fandango Remastered includes:
Repainted, hi-res character textures
New, dynamic lighting
Classic score re-recorded with a full live orchestra
Uncover a conspiracy in the beyond and save the lost soul you love. If you like the mexican day of the dead ( dia de los muertes) and the unique spooky atmosphere of this festivity related to a smart and funny storyline, then you will like this game
I haven't played to GF before the remastering, and I'd like to say this is a great game. The remasterization make it almost close to today's standard and I haven't had the sensation of playing an old game. Haven't seen any bugs.
I like the weird story, even if I was expecting more. This is surely something you should play if you're interested in adventure games.
What can I tell? I played this game 20 years after playing it as a teen. It is amazing. The story is great, the remastering is pretty good, the riddles are great, with nothing too illogical, the characters are great, the voices are great.
Yes, this is a useless review.
Just buy it.
I originally started this game on a Mac back in the day. I didn't realize at the time how much better the Mac version looked than the PC version. This remaster is a lot like what the original Mac version was like to play. I played this recently on a Win 10 machine and did not run into any bugs. I played it the entire way through without issues. This game is definitely worth playing whether it's new to you or nostalgic.
