March 2025
I played the first guac when it first arrived on steam but didn't actually get around to finishing it until 2025 and then found this on sale for under $10. Whilst it's very similar, the writing is pretty good. Please, save the Mexiverse.

I can't say enough how enjoyable this game is. There are many memes and references. Fighting is fun, and platforming is challenging, but not so hard that it makes you stop. The story is simple yet solid.

This is the second time I play through the game, had to buy it again just because the game is that good. As a metroidvania, as a beat 'em up, and as a platformer this game does everything right, Also as a mexican myself, I can pretty much say that everything about this game, despite being overly stereotypical, does a lot of mexican references right, to the point that makes me proud being a mexican and enjoying through the many references and jokes this game constantly pulls. My only gripe is just how short it takes to beat, and the fact that Hard mode is not available at the start (at least not unless you are aware of the cheat code, which I didn't until I was midway through the game).

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.

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).
