A masterpiece is always a masterpiece!
A masterpiece is always a masterpiece! You can hardly make it worse in a re-edition. And the Remastered edition is actually quite nice - as long as your new PC complies with rather too high Minimum requirements. The textures of all characters looks fine now, and the game could be actually played with a mouse (although you do get an achievement for beating it the good old way). The developers' commentaries are subtitled, and in all six languages the remake supports. So, arguably the best adventure game of all times is even better now. And I actually envy those people who have not played 'Grim Fandango' in 1998 - you have a memorable experience awaiting you now.

Better than expected
While Grim Fandango Remastered might be a nostalgic feast for the veteran PC gamers and a welcome delight for the rest, the added touches offer a deeper insight behind just capitalising on a cult classic; it’s a historical tribute to the style of award winning games that were once held back by technical limitations. Alone Grim Fandango is a testament to the genius behind a production that can craft such an award winning formula on a pocket change budget, yet to have their project stand the test of time near two decades later is equally as marvellous.
