Sept. 2024

The game offers a lot in both its combat (lots of attacks to use, with enemy weaknesses tied to specific abilities) and its platforming (multiple mechanics all offering a combination of different challenges). I completed the game solo, so there were some moments in the combat encounters where I was challenged to think about my approach as opposed to button mashing. What was unexpectedly challenging for me were the platforming puzzles - given the vast amount of abilities offered to the player, the game provides a lot of ways to push those abilities to the limit. This game is mostly linear in the sense that backtracking and revisiting of previous areas doesn't happen as aggressively as other Metroidvania titles. The game's premise is fun and quirky, but personally I wasn't expecting much depth in terms of storytelling as the dialogue and cutscenes lean a lot on video game references and light humour. Basically, the game isn't taking itself too seriously on that front. Overall - a solid game. It scratched the itch I had to play a 2D beat-em-up with 'Smash Bros.'-like mechanics, but offered a lot more in the form of its platforming puzzles.

Guacamelee 2 is a fun and fast-paced Metroidvania. You unlock several abilities through the course of the game that are used during combat and unlock paths to new locations. It has an interesting mechanic where you will find coloured blocks that will block your path and you will have to use the relevant ability to break it, this helps you to read the map and reduce backtracking, ensuring you will only go back to places that you really need to go. The combat is fast-paced and is not hard at all, the toughest challenges are - actually - the Platformer aspct of the game, and only if you are planning to do the true end and/or 100% completion. One of the issues with the combat in my option is the hit-box, for some reason I feel it is so weird and it makes the combat not as responsive as I whiched for. As for its aesthetic, I found it quite refreshing and funny. It has lots of homages to different famous games and lots of "memes", but I really loved was the Mexican background - though I would say it relies on stereotypes - I find funny and I loved the occasional Spanish word that appear here and there during the conversation. You can play this game coach co-op up to 4 players, I never did that but I can only imagine it would be mayhem - which could be quite cool - similarity to Magicka. It goes without it is an upgrade over Guacamelee 1, improving on every aspect of the game.

Loved the first one (and all its versions). This is more of the same formula (a good thing). A platforming heavy Metroidvania, you have to use your unlocked combat moves to platform the stages. Fun combat and sometimes annoying (not unfair) platforming. TLDR: if you like Metroidvaina and Platforming this is a must buy. If you like Metroidvainas but don't really like platforming, i'd still say give it a shot (thats me).

This is a very good Metroidvania. It is very similar to the previous title, keeping the "mexican" spirit of that game, but also adding some interesting new powers. The key challenges (the lava one specially) was not worth the time for me, considering that when you lose you need to restart from the beginning, so I skipped it (it's more like a side quest tough).

Hello friends, Today i will review the game Guacamelee! 2. This is the sequel to the original game Gucamelee 1, which is either gold or super turbo champion version, depending on which version you have played. I suggest getting the Super Turbo Championship Edition as it expands on the original game and includes the original version of the game. This game is similiar in story like into the spiderverse, as it takes place in multiple timelines. It is great metroidvania game basess on cultural aspects from mexico and spain. The hero is features is a Luchador, a type of wrestler. It features are much like it's predecessor game, so if you like the orignal version, make sure to pick up the second game too. Some of the platforming is awesome and you may die alot doing some of them. It can be frustrating in some places, so it may require multiple deaths to get thru different sections until you get it right. The powers are pretty funny and awesome too. Many reviews say it improved on the original games playing, which i agree to and it has definetly improved it. Anyways, here is my pros and cons list: PROS: - A great metriodvania that explores the culture and aspects of mexican and spanish traditions. - Silly things related to other games and meme's. - Great music score. - Works on Windows 11 OS. - Controller are supported and recommended for the game. I used a switch NEO controller. CONS: - Game seems short for what it is. - Sometimes my controller did not respond when i put combos together and got stuck in a direction and not responded right away. It acted like a delay. I do recommend it as it is quite fun for a metriodvania. It is also not too difficult, but some areas are challenging enough it may take several times to get the item or chest in the area.
