I never understood why people like Grim Fandango so much. I know many people who absolutely love it (and some more here on the replies) but I never did.
I've finished it with a walkthrough so I've seen the entire game. Between an art style that didn't age well and didn't grab me even then, obscure puzzles and a theme that doesn't interest me so much, I think it is one of LucasArts worst adventure games. But that's me. Let's call it "polarizing".

If the Day of the Dead setting does nothing for you, then you'll dislike the game. But if it intrigues you, you'll likely love it.
The puzzles are arbitrary, it's not really what the game is about.
