This is a review of the Vita version of the game.Grim Fandango has always been a hard game to recommend.
Not because it’s bad. Oh, no, quite the opposite. This is an exquisite adventure game that has a more inventive setting, more interesting characters, and smarter dialogue than most games released this decade.
You play as Manny Calavera – a travel agent for the Department of Death who helps the recently deceased figure out how they’re going to make the trip across the treacherous land of the dead, to get to the afterlife.
The virtuous can get an express train, while lowlifes and scum bags must walk. But when a sweet girl named Mercedes is forced to walk, Manny decides to chase after her. Cue a four year adventure across the underworld.
It’s a game that mashes up film noir with Mexican folklore, and has characters who are believable, funny, and heartfelt. It’s a truly memorable story, set in a wonderfully creative world.
