About Grim Fandango Remastered

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. He sells luxury packages to souls on their four-year journey to eternal rest. But there's trouble in paradise. Help Manny untangle himself from a conspiracy that threatens his very salvation.

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.

    finished this during a slow winter where i barely left the apartment, and the whole atmosphere just matched my mood perfectly, manny's voice acting still sticks with me months later honestly

    I've seen people knock the puzzle logic pretty hard, and maybe they have a point, but I still think the writing alone justifies its spot on this list.

    Lo mismo digo yo, aunque comparado con The Walking Dead, aquí me costó más soltar el mando por culpa del ritmo.

  3. Bayer15

    never finished it but the first couple hours already told me why people rate it so high

    A mí también me atrapó así de rápido, igual que The Walking Dead lo hizo en su momento, aunque este tiene un ritmo MUY distinto.

    Marina_8

    Igual que tú, me costó soltarlo desde las primeras horas, y eso que no suelo terminar los juegos que empiezo.

    Ya perdí la cuenta de las veces que hablé de este juego en este mismo foro. Lo jugué, me gustó, y ya está.

    Quest_Lamy

    la maniabilité remasterisée aide beaucoup, j'ai dû y passer une douzaine d'heures et jamais senti l'usure du jeu original

  5. LootAce

    Puede que sea impopular decirlo, pero no veo tan claro que merezca estar entre los más aclamados de siempre. Es correcto, sí, aunque a mí me costó conectar con el ritmo de los puzzles.

    Un chapitre, oui, mais ça ne rend pas les énigmes moins tordues pour autant.

    PaulLegend

    Je comprends l'hésitation, mais perso c'est le seul jeu d'aventure qui m'a fait rester debout pour finir un chapitre un soir de semaine.

    Face à Gemini Rue, question ambiance il tient largement, même si niveau puzzles les deux ont leurs têtes à claques.

    RogueRider2008

    Et vous, les dialogues vous ont marqués autant que moi, ou c'est surtout l'ambiance qui reste après coup ?

    Éric_25

    pareil, les puzzles cassent tout le rythme du jeu

    CoopRider14

    Comparé à The Walking Dead, l'émotion passe moins par l'histoire ici, plus par le décor et l'ambiance générale.
