![]() ![]() The graphics in the game actually hold up surprisingly well, to my surprise. Why they didn’t just stick with the usual inventory screen is beyond me. Considering there’s a lot of near useless items you can find, or duplicate items you can get, this makes selecting an item really tedious and annoying. Unlike most point and click games that gives you an inventory screen with all your available items at once, Grim Fandango will only show one item on the inventory screen at once and you have to slowly scroll through each item until you find the one you want. What’s really annoying is the inventory screen. This caused a little confusion at first, but after a while you’ll get used to it. ![]() The icons it gives when you find an item or character you can interact with isn’t always understandable or intuitive. Grim Fandango drops the easy to use interfaces from Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max for an interface that only gives you options when they are usable for a person or item on the screen. If there’s any problem I do have with the gameplay in Grim Fandango, it’s the interface. These are all present, especially the questionable logic part. You go around talking to people, finding items, and using said items to solve puzzles of often questionable logic. Gameplay-wise Grim Fandango is pretty much like any other game of its type. The only problem now is not only will it be judged by whether or not it’s a good game, but also by how well it’s aged over the decades. Despite enjoying these games, one I never got to play was Grim Fandango, so I’m sure you can imagine I was pretty ecstatic to see a remastered version of it appear on Steam. Some of my favorites included Lucasarts games like Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, and my personal favorite, Sam and Max Hit the Road. But now you can downloaded a remastered version of it on Steam! So here’s my friend Robbie Allen’s take on this version of Grim Fandango! Check it out!īack in the day, I used to love me some point and click adventure games. ![]() One of the best ones that I missed out on was Grim Fandango, a detective story with a Day of the Dead setting. I’ve always been a big fan of point and click adventures and have played and reviewed many of them. ![]()
