Grim Fandango

Grim Fandango is one of the best adventure games because of the dialogue, characters, world, and inventiveness. The newly deceased must atone for whatever misdeeds they may have committed before making the perilous four-year voyage into the Ninth Underworld, which is set in the Mexican Land of the Dead, where everyone is a skeleton or a demon. It is a deftly created universe with elements of cinema noir and plenty of crime and corruption.

The game's protagonist, Manny Calavera, must attempt to save Mercedes Colomar, the woman he believes he wronged, one of the best fictional characters ever created. Glottis is a friendly, car-obsessed demon that would fit right in with the best Disney or Pixar films, while Manny is one of the adventure game's most effortlessly cool and endearing player characters.

The pace can be slowed down by the frequently difficult puzzles, but simply exploring and interacting with this stunning environment makes up for these drawbacks and elevates Grim Fandango to the status of one of the greatest PC games ever. Just don't bring up those miserable monster beavers. Tim Schafer's voyage through Mexican legend continues to stand as the height of proper movie-quality storytelling in videogames.
