The array of characters found throughout the game would also not be anywhere near as memorable without the excellent voice acting found in Grim Fandango Remastered. A large majority of the game features voice acting, which was impressive back in the day and still pays off very well in the re-release.

Each character offers something different to where one can appreciate the interactions between each all the better. The archetypes are pretty much by the book, with the somewhat reluctant hero in Manny, the lovable but dimwitted sidekick in Glottis, as well as both a love interest and villain down the line. While the story itself is well designed, the game would not work at all without the unique cast of characters that show up throughout Grim Fandango Remastered. This variable style of storytelling has allowed Grim Fandango to hold up very well, with a fresh story that feels inspired by classic films, but still remains modern in other ways. However, soon many twists and turns come upon Manny and take the story in both expected and unpredictable directions. The story itself starts out relatively simple with the protagonist Manny Calavera acting as one of the Grim Reapers for the Land of the Dead. The adventure game genre has always been defined by its well crafted stories, with Grim Fandango: Remastered bringing gamers one of the best from the genre’s past.
