Leave a Review Grim Fandango Remastered
Amazing 5 star game & a very lazy remaster
So this game is supposed to be a “remaster” of the legacy game. To Double Fine - who always get a lot of dev money for their work due to the “VIP status” of a certain individual - it means sitting back and doing the bare minimum.
This leads to very mediocre lazy remasters, such as this one or Full Throttle. On the better end of the spectrum, their Monkey Island remasters (where is MI3??)
The moment I boot this game, I see my phone’s top bar (where the time and icons like WiFi are displayed) isn’t properly hidden. The intro boots in 4:3 format, not 16:9, since they’ve not bothered to remaster backgrounds & cut-scenes (“just add borders or stretch horizontally!”). The sound instantly goes out of sync with the video and subtitles, and the video is cut off early. The controls at least are better from the original one, but still, 3D adventure games from Lucasarts like MI4 or Grim were always a bit poorly done UX wise, so why not take the effort of modernizing/remastering it?
Why doesn’t the game look better from its original? Sorry, but remastering isn’t just replacing original textures with higher quality ones! You probably had the original, higher quality ones ready, so that’s just a matter of replacing assets.
Further, what’s with the QA? A bunch of crashes so far - totally unacceptable!
Such a shame as this title deserves proper care.Show lessdacloo
PLEASE FIX THE GLITCH!!!
This was one of my favorite games growing up, so I was so excited to get to play it again on a touch screen. But there’s a fatal glitch from the get-go: Once I access Manny’s inventory, I’m stuck cycling through his things! I’ve installed/reinstalled and also have tried on two different phones. Please address this!Show lessFig-aruna
Couldn’t bring myself to finish it
I tried so hard to like it. I began anew at least a half dozen times. What ultimately made me delete it in a moment if self-awareness? Here are 3 examples:
- puzzles where you have to click exactly the right pixel at exactly the right time, or restart from a checkpoint far, far away
- solutions that are irrational by anyone’s measure. I can’t believe ANYONE completed this without consulting a walkthrough.
- walking and walking and walking
And perhaps if I’d been engaged by the scintillating storyline, empathetic characters, or mind blowing graphics, I could have overlooked the tedium of gameplay. I wasn’t.
Unless you LOVED this game in its original format and don’t mind a clunky port, you may want to save your money.Show lessjennifer626

BEST in the double fine package
I held off on playing this one later in the package because it had lower reviews than the other games, but this one is the best! Challenging, but was able to beat it with minimal tips. Amazing narrative, clever and so much fun. One of my favorite games so far.jmartin0312
Bad port
This is one of my favorite games, but this is a bad port. First and foremost, the game has multiple times saved on a black screen with music and no graphics. Your game is borked when this happens. Ypu have to start from the beginning. Also, the touch controls are not well suited for the game.Herman Tobin
Game glitches like mad
I really wanted to love this game, but glitches make it nearly unplayable. It might work better with a larger screen, but it doesn’t work on an iPhone 8. The bottom of the screen doesn’t respond to touch, so you can’t access the last line of dialogue with characters. The game also freezes on the inventory screen for the same reason - you touch the “cancel” or “select” options at the bottom and they don’t work. Essentially, you can’t do much of anything but walk around. What a delightful waste of $5.00 today.Show lessSadEyedLady
Was fun, but I also got the black screen
I was having fun playing the game but now I’m also stuck on black screen and music playing in the background. I wouldn’t recommend it.Chrluc
Gorgeous
Its gorgeous, but difficult to play on a small screen.Cammysixx
