Grim Fandango Remastered First Impressions

I was not old enough to remember what Grim Fandango was, nor did I have a computer that could play it so I'm glad I've had the opportunity to play this game in all of it's HD glory.

It's so hard! Like super hard, it may be that I missed the adventure game renaissance that happened around this time and my mind doesn't really work that way but my god is this game tough to figure out sometimes.

I love that its not pixel hunting though, everything you need is laid out in front of you effectively enough, but it's like trying to rebuild a rifle you've never touched before.

Don't get me wrong though, I've been having a lot of fun with it, the story and voice acting are really good and the environments are so well thought out I find myself getting absorbed within a lot of the time.

I don't have any of the next gen consoles, or current gen consoles, whatever we're calling them now but I do have a Vita, and this thing feels right at home on this console. I've enjoyed immersing myself in this world while on my hour-long commute to work on public transportation.

Grim Fandango Remastered is a fantastic game, very weird but with its Noire-type story and Mexican inspirations its a really fun, immersive kind of weird.

What do you think? Am I just dumb or are there others having a tough (but good) time with this game?
