The good clients that live an exceptionally good life and qualify for a ticket on the Number Nine train are always just out of Manny’s bony fingered reach. The beautifully crafted story of Grim Fandango Remastered follows Manuel “Manny” Calavera who is stuck in the Eighth Underworld working as a Grim Reaper for the Department of Death (or D.O.D.) selling travel packages to recently departed souls who must make the journey to the Ninth Underworld. Grim Fandango Remastered is a cross-buy title so this review will cover aspects of both versions especially as it also has cross-save support for gamers on the go. I’ll be perfectly honest I loved Grim Fandango the first time around so when I found out that Schafer’s own Double Fine Productions was bringing back the neo-noir dark comedy, I jumped at the chance to once again assume the role of travel package selling Grim Reaper Manuel ”Manny” Calavera with the release of Grim Fandango Remastered for the PlayStation 4 and Vita. Before the decline of the adventure genre as I knew it then, Grim Fandango was and still is one of the greatest adventure games ever made. Then there are games like 1998’s Grim Fandango from LucasArts and legendary creator Tim Schafer which was universally acclaimed by critics right away despite lacking sales. Sometimes it takes a while for that game to become noticed often transcending into cult status. But every once in a while, there is that game that just makes you sit up and take notice. In the world of gaming there is a sea of mediocre to decent titles that we gamers see every day.
