Overview
Description

Grim Fandango is a point-and-click adventure game that follows the story of Manny Calavera, a travel agent for the dead, as he uncovers a conspiracy in the land of the dead. The game features a unique film noir-inspired art style and a engaging storyline with memorable characters.

Skyrim is Bethesda’s landmark open-world RPG set in a Nordic fantasy province, known for its freeform exploration, dragon-shouting Dragonborn, and an enormous modding community that keeps it alive over a decade later.

Good but flawed

Picked up The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim recently. Upside: enormous freedom. Downside: bugs without mods.
