Grim Fandango Remastered Review
5 years ago
General
I've started to enjoy writing game reviews a while back, and 
AshleyFableBlack likes when I do them too! So I thought I'd start posting them up here as well. Enjoy. or don't! Just be good people. :)
Grim Fandango is a wonderfully charming point and click adventure game with a unique style. It's based on Mexican/Central American mythology as well as the film nior genre. There are many fun characters to meet and lots of great comedy. They give you multiple options for control - you can either use the classic point and click controls, or you can move Manny around manually in Resident Evil/"tank" style controls (which I found handy at times to use). It can be confusing to figure out puzzle solutions, but there are plenty of guides available online if you get stuck. I don't want to give anything of the story away so I suggest trying the game for yourself!
Overall the game is fantastic, but I have a few small criticisms:
The game does occasionally have graphical bugs, but I did not encounter any that hindered my enjoyment of the game. Most of them were actually very comical to encounter, such as Mannys head disappearing or affixing a lever to Glottis' crotch instead of a control panel where it should be.
While the control is great most of the time, there are a couple of moments in the game where they can be kind of finicky and annoying, such as timed sequences.
Other than these small issues, I had a great time playing the game and became very fond of its characters 🙂
