well if I do not like mechanics but story/graphics is to my liking (or other way around) I can live with it, but if everything is off, than, well...
no point in click :P

The trading cards, of course!
This articles explains it pretty well, but probably contains minor spoilers: https://www.wired.com/2015/01/grim-fandango-remastered/

I liked the characters, the music and the general feel of the game; the dialogue and gameplay is on point. As the game progresses it feels more rushed and the puzzles are sometimes very hard to solve without a walkthrough, but its strengths outweigh the flaws by far.

It's an adventure game from an older era, so don't expect it to hold your hand like the newer games from Telltale. Some of them are very tricky and "out-of-the-box", some of them require trial and error. They are usually quite satisfying to solve, but it can get somewhat frustrating.

This month I also played:

• Galacide - a nice shoot-em up match 3 fusion game
• Illusoria - a 2D action platformer that has nice artstyle but not so great controls
• Postal 2 - over the top offensive FPS
• Quest for infamy - a point & click adventure in the vein of the old Sierra games, in particular Quest for Glory
• Dwarfs!? - still haven't beaten it but I'm getting close. A game where you have to micromanage a bunch of dwarfs

Next up: Chroma Squad

Hope you are enjoying your plays also :)
