It’s absolutely superb and holds up all of these years later. Listening to them speak, it’s plausible that you’re speaking with a grizzled, old sea captain, a sleazy lawyer and a heavy-handed mobster. All of the additional cast performs their roles well and in a believable way. The ability to have meaningless conversations just to interact with the other characters in the story are highlights.

Manny delivers his lines with a dry wit, Glottis is hilariously over enthusiastic and Meche displays a full range of emotion in her few appearances in the game. The voice acting is just as killer in the remake as it was in the original. One could easily listen to the soundtrack independently of the game and still find great enjoyment and even relaxation in its smooth, noirish tunes. The soundtrack is a work of art in and of itself. It can be orchestral when needed, with bits of jazz and mariachi blended together. The music is one of the greatest soundtracks I’ve ever heard in a video game. There are a few areas where interacting with an object has to be incredibly precise, which deflates some of the fun from the puzzles. However, Manny is still slow even while running and I found myself holding down the run button for most of the game. Gone are the old tank controls, replaced with normal movement.

Play control is much better than in the PC version. Thankfully these were few and far between and I didn’t notice many other issues with the animation during my playthrough. The scythe also experienced some stuttering. Similarly, Manny has some animation issues toward the end of the game when he returns to the city. As the scene is playing back, Olivia keeps jittering up and down. Most notably was a scene in Rubacava (in Year Two) when Manny is speaking with club proprietor Olivia. Animation was smooth and high quality overall, but there were a few scenes where I experienced some glitching. The animation is where Grim Fandango shows a few of its flaws. The graphics in both Original and Remastered mode reflect the noir style of the game quite well. The Land of the Dead still looks good with its unique blend of mythology and architectural elements. The game does feature smooth graphics, great color blending and amazing backgrounds as well as terrific character designs. Sure, they look great on my Switch, but the outline of the polygons is still visible in some ways. The graphics knocked me dead in some ways, but left me flat in others. Various characters interact with Manny throughout the game, providing hints for puzzles, moving along the plot and injecting humor into the majority of the game.

The game is more interactive movie than video game, really, although you’ll have to really think to figure out the many conundrums.
Like the many point-and-click adventures that came before it, Grim Fandango tells a story through puzzles, cutscenes and interaction with the environment.
So begins an amazing afterlife adventure. Something rotten is afoot in The Land of the Dead. After meeting a woman named Mercedes Colimar-who should qualify for the best afterlife package but somehow doesn’t-he grows suspicious. The adventure truly begins after Manny successfully steals the client of one of his rivals. Manny isn’t impressed, but reluctantly heads to the case only to experience numerous setbacks and obstacles along the way. The hilarious opening cinematic seamlessly transitions into the game, which begins with a mass poisoning. The graphics needed an overhaul for the latest systems, and that’s exactly what we have here.
Created by some of the same folks responsible for other LucasArts point-and-click adventures, this one stood out at the time for its use of 3D graphics and excellent voice acting. Set in the Land of the Dead, the game features Manny-a down on his luck grim reaper desperately searching for a rich client that will help him work off his debt. Grim Fandango was one of my favorite PC games back in the late ‘90s and when I learned of its arrival on the Nintendo Switch, I was simply dying to play it.
