Grim Fandango Remastered Brings the Classic Back To Life, But Not to The Modern Age - The Take Your Time Review


Quick Note: Grim Fandango is a piece of gaming history every gamer should experience. The characters are interesting and the story is funny, but the old school puzzles can be pretty brutal. With no hint system in place, this is not the point and click adventure game for everyone to play without a guide, but it is one that should be played.. 

Grim Fandango originally graced the public in 1998 when it was released on PC. Since it's launch, the game has been considered a masterpiece that every person who considers themselves a gamer must play. For years it was nearly impossible to obtain the game through legal ways due to issues with Lucas Arts, but now that Double Fine has re-released the game it is time for many, myself included, to experience the game for the first time. Though very much a piece of gaming history, Grim Fandango has not aged as gracefully as many had hoped and will leave many feeling frustrated, despite the great aesthetics.
