Grim Fandango doesn’t auto-save and the not-quite-finished PC build I played for review crashed a lot. If you know they like or dislike a certain thing and the item you have has to do with that, show it to them! Chances are, it’ll get you further on your hunt for puzzles. Pay attention to what the characters say. This one is standard to most game design, but it’s worth repeating. If you find yourself confused on what puzzle you even need to solve, look for things that the game repeats through cutscenes and think of ways to break it. By that I mean inserting yourself or an item within a routine that another character or object does and creating a different outcome. Many of the puzzles in Grim Fandango require you to break a pattern. It wouldn’t hurt to jot down a quick reminder or two about what things need to be taken care of, so that you’re not stuck walking around searching for what to do next. Remember when I said sifting through each scene is important? As you get further into Grim Fandango, the scope will get bigger and it’ll be harder to remember what things need solving and what objects you can interact with. So, whether you’re a new adventure game player or not, these tips should help you through an older game that still amazingly holds up, as I found in my review. You might have to find one or two things as you make your way through the story of The Wolf Among Us, but Grim Fandango doesn’t progress until you’ve thoroughly searched through each scene for items and figured out how to creatively use them to solve problems. If there’s one thing I noticed while playing Double Fine’s remake of the 1998 classic Grim Fandango, it’s that old adventure games were much more mechanical than The Walking Deads of today.
