5/2/2023 0 Comments Grim fandango remasteredI found myself talking to so many with random answers, that I lost an afternoon to it. Another aspect of this genre, is the fact that you can choose between multiple questions and answers when you interact with the world. You go from your office in the city, to a festival, a casino, a ship, submarine, a city on the edge of a waterfall, and so much more.īelieve me, the story takes you into so many random avenues and directions along the way, you can’t help but just stick around and see where it takes you. Grim Fandango Remastered takes you across so many different locations, it makes you think if a sequel has ever been a possibility. By pressing ‘X’, you can see the items being pulled out of Manny’s coat-pocket and him just casually commenting on his thoughts on it, especially when he tries to offer one of these when conversing with a character. One of the most iconic themes that is part of Grim Fandango, is the inventory screen. It reminds me of the first Resident Evil games with its pre-rendered look, alongside the tank controls, which, in 2018, can be very frustrating to control Manny with. The environment is mainly a pre-rendered affair, so you’re walking through an animated-cartoon almost, while you check items and equipment to help you further the game. You play as Manuel “Manny” Calavera, voiced by Tony Plana, who has recently been seen in shows such as The Punisher, Lethal Weapon, and Ugly Betty. The game is set over four different acts, each being set on November 2nd, in the Land of the Dead. As I hadn’t played it in years, it was a good opportunity to see how it fares since its original release in 1998. I remember seeing it back in the day on the 90’s TV show GamesMaster, and articles throughout the years wishing for a sequel or a port.Īs I didn’t own a PC and missed out on the genre, I didn’t have the chance to take a look at the game until 2004, thanks to mods and emulators that kept the game compatible with later hardware.Īnyhow, thanks to LucasArts being bought by Disney, and its change from a developer to a licensor, talks began with Disney to retain the rights, and subsequently this lead to the announcement of Grim Fandango coming to PS4, macOS, PC, and many more.ĭuring E3 this year, an announcement was made of it coming to the Nintendo Switch, with it being released earlier this month. Grim Fandango, is a game that game falls in the category of ‘I’ve heard of this but never played it’ for me. By Daryl Double Fine Productions, eShop, Grim Fandango Remastered, Nintendo Switch, review
