Since Grim Fandango doesn’t auto-save, I had to spend a little time backtracking to make up the lost progress.I thought I'd try and dig a little deeper into the Remastered edition, perhaps someone out there can help? I also suffered at least one game-crashing bug late in the last quarter of my adventure. These problems always went away when I went back to the original graphics. Small objects, like cups, would flicker annoyingly. A plume of smoke would appear behind a character’s head when they puffed on a cigarette when it should have been in front of them. I mostly played Grim Fandango Remastered on the Vita, and I experienced a few bugs. Instead, you’ll either have to live with black or decorative borders on the side. When I turned on the PC version, the high-res character models were much more noticeable.Īlso, since the backgrounds aren’t updated, Grim Fandango isn’t available in a widescreen format (unless you stretch out the standard 4:3 ratio). You can switch between the new and original graphics by pressing a button, but I could really only notice the new lighting on the Vita’s tiny screen. When I was originally playing it on the Vita, I barely noticed a difference at all. Still, even after you waste a second adjusting, you’re getting around a lot faster than you would have in 1998. Sure, the static camera can make the analog controls a little cumbersome since moving to a new scene changes your directional reference. You no longer have to waste time turning Manny left or right. Honestly, each of these new options feel better than the original tank controls. The Vita has a similar control scheme that uses the portable’s touch screen. The computer versions include point-and-click controls that will feel familiar to any fan of old-school adventure games. You can now move around with full analog control on every platform. Thankfully, these new versions give you more options. He could turn left and right and move forward and backward. In the original Grim Fandango, you controlled Manny much like you would a tank. Really, it’s an epic, largely thanks to the scale and scope of the game’s world and adventure. It’s largely a comedy, but it has a sincerity and darkness that makes it much loftier than a Monkey Island or Space Quest. Grim Fandango manages to skip around genres. The hilarious script constantly keeps things entertaining, and Manny is as likable a lead as you’ll find in any game. ![]() You have to explore your environments, collect items, and talk to strange characters if you want to progress. He eventually gets caught up in a web of lies and intrigue, resulting in a years-long journey for redemption and justice.īeing an adventure game, Grim Fandango is more about puzzles than action. You play as Manny, a grim reaper/travel agent who works in the afterlife. Grim Fandango is as wonderfully imaginative today as it was in 1998. Image Credit: Double Fine Productions What you’ll like
