Grim Fandango

Grim Fandango was made in 1998 and is a game created by LucasFilms. The game is about Manny, a grim reaper, who has to save Meche, a virtuous soul, after sending her off to a place she isn’t supposed to be. As good as the game can be, it was sadly a failure.

Reception
The game received critical acclaim. Critics praised the game for it’s great art direction, fun puzzles, nice soundtrack, and for an exciting story. The game is known as one of the best games of all time and one of the best games of 1998, along with Half-Life. The game won 13 rewards, such as Best Game Of 1998, but the game was sadly a commercial failure.

Sales
The game cost about 3,000,000 to make and it sold 95,000 copies in 2000. The game sold 500,000 copies by 2012. The game flopped because other games like Super Mario 64 and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time overshadowed the game. People were also interested in first-person shooters and RPGs instead of point and click games. The game soon became profitable in 2000, almost 2 years after the game was released. The game soon got a remastered version in 2015, which received generally favorable reviews, but no as good as the original classic.
