## What is Grim Fandango Remastered?

IMPORTANT: This game uses Metal and will only play properly on iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, iPhone 5s, and beyond.

Something's rotten in the land of the dead, and you're being played for a sucker. Meet Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death. He sells luxury packages to souls on their four-year journey to eternal rest. But there's trouble in paradise. Help Manny untangle himself from a conspiracy that threatens his very salvation. 

One of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time is now back, better than ever. Grim Fandango's epic story of four years in the life (or death) of Manny Calavera, travel agent to the dead, has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better than when it won GameSpot's Game of the Year award upon its original launch. Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.

### 5/5 — Maravilhoso!

*2026-04-29*

Excelente jogo!!

### 1/5 — Kein Ton auf iOS 26.1

*2025-12-15*

Mega Spiel! Ich habe es damals super gefeiert, leider in 2025 trotz allen mega Techs unmöglich zu spielen

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-12-02, version 1.0.4*

I probably rated this game as 1 star in an earlier review because I was stupid.

### 4/5 — Génial mais honteux

*2025-12-01*

Le jeu est incroyable mais je trouve ça absolument honteux de vendre un portage bugé de partout, d’abord un bug d’affichage du à l ordinateur du directeur (J’ai les 2 carré orange qui reste à l écran et ils ne veulent pas partir. Plus un bug avec lotis dans les tunnel des arbre ou je suis rentré dedans et depuis glotis a disparu)

### 1/5 — Sound does not play

*2025-11-29, version 1.0.4*

Sound does not play

### 2/5 — Mediocre game held back by technical issues

*2025-10-20*

From a gameplay perspective this is a poor game. The puzzles are strange, many times I would know that there is a puzzle because of the way the game presents it but I was at a loss what the underlying motivation or the result would be. Things get a little bit better at the end.  The game is also held back by being 3d. The inventory is a complete nightmare, movement feels strange and there are far too many empty scenes.
The story itself is nice but nothing to write home about. The characters are well written and the dialogue is really enjoyable. The music is above average but the 3d backgrounds have aged very poorly.
The game also crashed on me regularly in the second half of the game. I’m a few hours in and I’ve had it stop working about 6 times.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2025-03-27, version 1.0.4*

Storytelling at its finest and an exceptional soundtrack.

### 5/5 — ...

*2025-03-11, version 1.0.4*

AMAZING! I love it so much and I love it SOOO much I've played it like 3 times!

### 2/5 — Not optimized for newer iPhones

*2025-02-23, version 1.0.4*

Can we get an update so it fills the entires screen?

### 3/5 — Sympa de retrouver grim

*2025-01-26*

Il y a un problème de son , toutes les options sont cochées et pas de son gr
