Grim Fandango is often called one of the best video games of all time and one of the most important cornerstones in the history of the adventure genre. I agree, so today I want to attempt an explanation of why this subjectively beloved game of mine... is objectively great.
A Love Letter to what I think is Tim Schafer's magnum opus.
