Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.

    Grim Fandango Remastered delivers a grand scale adventure with a great story with modern design prowess. The problem is that the gameplay just has no rhyme or reason to logical progression making it one to skip for the premium price point.
