grim muchachos
While maybe not Shafer's best work in terms of story, it's well done presentation, memorable cast of characters, and unique perspective on life and death make Grim Fandango a must play for adventure game fans or people who just enjoy games with good stories. The remastered edition has some odd choices but also allows the player to play the game in it's original form for the most part.
This game has a lot of soul and charm. Why the fuck is it so hard. They had to put me in a padded room after finishing this game. Whoever made these puzzles had so much spite to the world.
Ultimately I dislike this kind of game for what seems to be the whole point of it. However I truly believe that Grim Fandango was worth playing despite that. I think it's the most promising point and click game out there.
''You know, sweethearth, if theres one thing I've learned, its thing: nobody knows whats gonna happen at the end of the line, so you might as well enjoy the trip.''
Man... its was damn good
Man... its was damn good
Charming game held back by some nonsensical puzzles
Like every point & click adventure from the 90s

Parece que estas aventuras gráficas clásicas de Point & Click no terminan de ser lo mío.
Los desplazamientos muchas veces resultan torpes y los acertijos llegan a ser tan contraintuitivos y absurdos que, sin ayuda de una guía, prácticamente resultan en una dinámica de agotar todas las posibilidades, lo cual no se siente tanto como desarrollar tu pensamiento lateral como simplemente ir dando palos en la oscuridad.
Sin embargo, tengo que admitir que la atmósfera general, una combinación bastante bien lograda entre folklore, cine noir y comedia, es todo un logro y mantiene su vigencia. Muchos de los diálogos (y lo que desencadenan) es de lo mejor que he encontrado a nivel guión en cualquier juego. Manny no le pide nada a ningún personaje de Humphrey Bogart.

I've played this game at least 6 times and it only gets better with each playthrough.
Never has a game been so weird and so complete. It drips with a love of the world and (after)life. Voices I could kiss. Voices I SHOULD kiss
what if mexico was real
this is the game that made me fall in love with the point and click genre AND Double Fine/ Tim Schafer (played the remaster)
if I could, I would live in the casino stage forever

i loved the dialogue, world and humour from what i managed to play. however just like every pre-2000s point and click it suffers from being incredibly cryptic! and constantly having to pull out some video guide is genuinely miserable. i will give credit where its due though and say that for the most part the solutions to each scene/area i got through made sense after actually finding out what they were. go play the two main psychonauts games instead if you want more of what this has
A classic of its genre. It works as a comedy and it works as a love letter to noir. There's nothing else quite like it.
excelente em tudo que nao e relacionado a de fato resolver puzzle que eh oq a gente costuma fazer nesse tipo de jogo
RUN YOU PIGEONS! IT'S ROBERT FROST!
A solid adventure game, with a really great story and atmosphere. Good soundtrack. Only complaint is that the puzzles could be really nonsensical. Even after solving them, the solutions didn't seem to be very logical.
All the characters are so vibrant and memorable, the gameplay strings you through the narrative, locations, and characters organically in a way no other adventure game had quite achieved before it.
Grim is a masterpiece with so many memorable moments in it,
if story games are your thing this is absolutely for you.

ça mere c'est vieux
an amazing homage to hispanic culture surround death and a fun point and click adventure. honestly never was into the genre but this is a game changer
ya no se hacen estos juegos...
Se hace imposible avanzar sin la ayuda de internet, por lo que lo acabé abandonando.
A highly influential game for both narrative and point-and-click genres.
With charming characters, memorable quotes and excellent-crafted storytelling, this game offers an amazing experience that back in the day not only demonstrated that videogames are not a child-related media but also that they can convey powerful messages and tell stories worth telling.
While it has some level design flaws during some parts that go against the prevailing simplicity of the point-and-click gameplay, Grim Fandango is widely considered a masterpiece and a cult classic. I don't know if it's one, but I can confidently say that it's a highly enjoyable game and I'm very happy that I had the chance of playing it as a kid.

bueno
Remastered
👍
- Unique atmosphere and universe
- Amazing art, including world-building and character-design
- One of the best soundtrack ever
- This awesome blending of genres (crime, noir, romance, comedy, absurd, etc)
- The story and character writing
- Awesome voice acting (english and french)
👎
- This classic game deserved a more polished and ambitious remaster
- Controls and pathfinding are still a bit janky
- Old untouched backgrounds and new clean 3D models does not blend well
- Remastered cutscenes needed more love
- The feeling that the story is a bit disjoined, and could have been even better with more sequences/scenes

Grim Fandango has such a soulful story that I'm willing to put up with some of It's obtuse puzzles (the forklift part though what the fuck?). Bullshit puzzle design has been kind of accepted to be an expected element in these old Lucasarts games but thankfully Grim doesn't reach Escape From Monkey Island's levels of depravity in that department.
Also, I find Manny to be oddly cute.

I love Psychonauts 1+2 so much but, this is Tim at his best. I can't tell you how much I love how well this story is executed. Every character, no matter how important, has enough depth to keep you engaged. The twists and turns it throws at you are so engaging. Additionally, the aesthetic and writing born out of both Día de los Muertos festivities and Film Noir stylings make this a stand out title that will hold a special place in my heart, till death do us part.
I love point-and-click adventures! This one is really cool, and it feels like a movie that you can play. Probably something to do with LucasArts being the developer.
There were a few puzzles here that were just too hard to solve without looking them up, and that took some of the fun out of it. But overall, this was an epic adventure, funny and unique, and there's really nothing else like it.

Gorgeous game, dumb controls that I hope the remaster fixed
