For starters, the original was my favourite game of all time. As a point n' click fan of the Lucasarts persuasion I have always been a fan of the story, imagination and dialogue of Tim Schafer's games.
I loved Grim back in 98 and besides a few areas where my P133 and no 3D card really struggled I loved my time in the last of the dead, all four years of it.
Flash forward and this remaster was great news for me, as besides a few possible ways (residualVM now a part of ScummVM) to play it the remaster added some great new 3D models, lighting and redone music from Peter McConnell making it even more accessible by allowing something other than the late 90s relic 'the dreaded tank controls'.
There's still a few technical glitches, strange drops in frame rate and at 5 years since release I don't think these are going to get fixed. But I was still able to play through and the directors commentary adds a lot of fun insights from the creators or the guys who worked on the game.
All in all, one of the best stories in video games with a unique setting and style truly of its own. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
