5/18/2023 0 Comments Grim fandango remastered achi![]() Those are well designed in general, maybe one or two solution were a bit WTF in my opinion but nothing too frustrating. The gameplay is a classic point and click, you'll go from scene to scene interact with various elements to solve puzzles. Really not a good job from this point of view. So yes it's ugly by today standards but what is unforgivable is that the game suffers from framerate drops and some major bugs that will make the game crash (and given the fact that there is no autosaving you can loose a lot of your progress with that). Technically the game is a big disappointment and don't deserve the "remastered" in its title, it's more a port than a remastered, which is very clear if you use the option to see the original graphics) it's nothing like Monkey Island on PS3 that had seen all its textures change. Grim Fandango is one of the figurehead of classic point and click adventures from the 90's let's see how time as treated him. I played this game thanks to the PS+ subscription but I'll be reviewing it like if i paid its full price as it is no longer free to download. ![]() some guides online are very, very poor) … Expand A bit of fun to be had but be prepared to be frustrated and annoyed if you want to power through without a guide (Ps. Its a good game, but its horribly dated and without a guide, forget it, you'll never finish it. I'm grateful they are re-releasing these old games, however they need to check their price-point and ask themselves why they are doing it and whether the demand, existent or not, justifies the release. Its a shame there isn't more appreciation for this game, but at the same time I can totally understand why it doesn't appeal to today's market. It wasn't as nostalgic as I would have hoped and I found some parts just plain frustrating. ![]() I enjoyed my second play through, my last was on PC when I was 17. Its expertly written with terrific art direction and amazing voice acting but its hampered by poor game design, dodgy controls and ambiguous, illogical puzzles.

The Magnum Opus of 90s adventures games remastered and re-released for a new generation. This is why i'm giving Grim fandango a 10/10 … Expand There is just not a bad thing i can say about it. Overall, this game is simply a masterpiece on all fronts. I hear some things from others about the music being redone, and the aspect ratio changed, but for me non of that matters, for this is the only Grim Fandango experience i have played. Pairing that with tank controls make it a full retro experience. Some things i can talk about though is the enhanced textures, which can be changed to original by the push of a button. Remaster wise, I cannot speak too much for not playing the original. I actually played the game through a second time with tank controls, not for the trophy, but so i can play the game the way it was meant to be played. The default control is scheme is NOT tank controls, you must change this from the options screen. Now, i could complain about the counter-intuitive "tank controls", but even they got that right. A hefty challenge is what i like to see in a PAC game, which most new ones seem to lack. While some might complain about the immense difficulty that some of the puzzles boast, with the answers being extremely cryptic,but i don't mind at all. The gameplay is your standard point and click stuff: walk around, talk to people, pick up stuff, solve puzzles, it's all great fun. All the characters are well voice acted, and the dialogue is consistently funny. The story takes you to a variety of different locations, from the ocean-side town of Rubacava, to the very gates of the 9th underworld itself. Even background characters that you only share 2 or 3 lines with are interesting. The story in entrancing, keeping you locked in it's world of fantastic writing and original, developed characters. There is not anything bad i can really say about Grim Fandango. I can say now that i regret not getting Grim Fandango back in the day, for it is now in my top ten favorite games of all time. Now here we are, 2015, point and click now being a favored genre of mine, especially taking a liking in old ones. I just didn't think it seemed appealing, probably due to the point-and-click genre dying down at that point. ![]() I just didn't think it seemed appealing, probably due to the point-and-click Grim Fandango was a game i originally had no interest in in 1998.
