LucasArts’ original Grim Fandango’s masterful writing and creative concept made it a cult favorite upon its release, and now Double Fine’s brought it back as Grim Fandango Remastered. They may have only tightened up the graphics, loosened up the controls, and added in a swinging soundtrack that makes the dead bones dance again, but really, that’s all it needed. Experience anew this classic tale of intrigue and redemption that’s so good, it’ll chill you right to the bone.
