Grim Fandango has a positive depiction of communists and revolutionaries in media. At the time, that wasn't very common at all. It still isn't, for a company at that level.
@Mirzaba it's such a thoughtfully written game in so many ways and the writing stands up surprisingly well for a video game from the 90s. I really love it
I played it for the first time recently and was a bit disappointed ^^'
There were positive points ofc, like the music, the atmosphere, etc...
But I felt like the story lacked consistency the cutscenes weren't always clear (it was not always easy to tell what happen)...
For the depiction of communists I felt they were a bit ridiculed, but I guess considering the context in which the game was made it's still great, yeah ^^'
@Nocta @Mirzaba yeah, I can see how it wouldn't appeal to everyone! There was definitely a huge difference in terms of visual quality between the cutscenes and the regular game, which I found sort of charming, but I get why other people might not agree
How did you think the story lacked consistency? I haven't played it in a bit, I think it did vary between chapters?
@c8rz @Nocta
It doesnt have enough time to let the flow over major events happen as naturally as they could have. Though I don't entirely mind that.
