Adventure games were once one of the most popular video game genres, and LucasArts was (and still is) considered the king of adventure game developers. Now, however, adventure games are much more niche and rarely seen outside of indie titles. Their last adventure game was Grim Fandango, directed by Tim Schafer, and is considered their finest work. Today, we'll explore Grim Fandango and why it led to the death of LucasArts adventure games. #GrimFandango #LucasArts #TimSchafer
