While I adored Lucasarts and Sierra adventure games growing up, I only played Grim Fandango until around Year 2 when it was first released. I’m happy to see that it and other Lucasarts adventure games are still thriving through emulation and remastering.
As I did originally, I loved the style and direction of the game. However, I found a lot of the puzzles unclear and baffling in their logic, requiring timed action that is not at all obvious during character animations. I found myself consulting guides way more than any other adventure game to get through it. The controls were also pretty clunky on console, even after replacing the tank controls. Yes, there was a run button but with the amount of backtracking you had to do in the game and the forced animations for various scene changes it did get quite tedious.
Either way, a classic adventure game restored for newer generations to enjoy, dated mechanics and all!
