Grim Fandango: Remastered

Playtime: 6.7 Hours

I don't play a lot of Point & Click Adventure type games. Sure, I have played a bunch of Telltale games but I never really looked at the classics like the Monkey Island games. I really liked the aesthetics of this one and decided to try it out.

I finished the game in 3 days and here I am still thinking about it! The game has great characters, music and a good plot. That being said, I do think the story had a few hiccups. However, there is a lot of individual moments in this game that are spectacular and they are living rent free in my head!

I used a guide for the entirety of this game. If I didn't I would have had absolutely no idea what to do and where to go. They do not tell you what you need to do, so if you are going to play this game without a guide, i wouldn't recommend it as you are given very little to go off of. That, and when you have an idea of something you can do, sometimes your actions won't register, making you think that what you tried wasn't the correct way of doing it.

The characters are really good. The main character, Manny, is a likable guy, but he pales in comparison to everybody's favorite demon Glottis. He just might be one of my favorite characters in all of gaming and I was smiling every time he was on screen!

Overall, this game is a short but fun adventure that's worth trying out. If you like the genre, it's a must-play. If you don't, I would recommend it if you like the aesthetics, world etc. In my opinion, this game is definitely worth a shot.

Hopefully you are not a completionist like me though, so you don't have to play the game with Tank controls. Damn you Tim Schafer!
