In terms of characters and story, Grim Fandango is a brilliant game. It’s very charming and has some good humour.
Unfortunately, it was made at a time where some people felt games wouldn’t sell if they weren’t 3D, so instead of clicking, you walk around to try and find each object. Thankfully, this version isn’t as bad as the original’s tank controls, but it still impacts the puzzles. Sometimes, Manny will not interact with something because you’re slightly off. I ended up using a guide (Universal Hint System is a good website for games like this as it will give you a series of clues instead of just leading with the solution) and for a lot of them it turned out that I had already attempted the solution, but I was just slightly angled the wrong way when I tried to interact with something.
A 2D remake (or just restyled as a more point & click game) would be fantastic.
Fun
