Don't expect a polished gameplay like other S-Tier Metroidvanias like Hollow Knight or Ori! This is the only reason I dropped the game before finishing it. I'll recommend it because Guacamelee is quite fun. The soundtrack is good and dialogues are funny, there's a really good sense of humor and I found myself giggling most of the time while playing. The story is kinda generic and I didn't care a single second about it, but hey you won't play this game expecting a deep and meaningful story, you're here only to wombo combo lucha libre style. Another good point is thtat you get skills and upgrades pretty early (and also pretty fast) throughout the game. But let's talk about the negatives, which isn't very much of a problem tbf. The combat altough it's fun sometimes can get really - and I mean REALLY - stressful. I played on Keyboard (Razer Blackwidow, not some generic cheap brand) and the commands sometimes didn't respond. For instance: Sometimes you get the "E" to grab the enemy and the character won't or would turn it's back to the enemies out of nowhere. This is kinda janky but overall the enemies are so easy to defeat it won't even matter. Unless it happens in one of the many Arenas you have a countdown, then you'll die for shitty coding and, yeah, it can be a little frustrating sometimes. On the bright side, there's a ton of save points and you shouldn't worry too much because you'll always die close to a checkpoint. This extends to the platforming and puzzles side of the game, for example: Sometimes you'll do a combo or double jump or anything that needs to be executed fast and the character won't do it as fast as you pressed because FPS, latency, cooldown or idk and honestly idrc also, because you'll get to repeat as many times needed and one time the game will register the inputs correctly and you'll get it done sooner or later. Just re-doing stuff sometimes can get extremely boring. I dropped the game on the last boss because of this, but I had so much fun in the 6-ish hours I played it. Won't return to finish it tho, I have other (better) games to invest my hours. Wait a discount and buy it. 7/10.

This is such a fantastic game. The theme is dripping with love for the culture and children's cartoons. The humor is great. Side note that this also plays great on steam deck, which is a bonus! Yes, I know... this is widely held among the more frustrating experiences in the Metroidvania world. At least the first game is, anyhow. But I honestly haven't had that much of an issue. In fact, I've really had a great time playing it. Yes, you have a variety of keypresses that need to coincide with thumbstick movements, and sometimes those misfire. Sometimes you die because of it. Honestly though... I have found many, many games which I found more frustrating, and the positive elements of this game far outweigh any issues. I'd like to point out in particular the music in this game adds so much to the experience, as well as the colors and the graphics. The story is simple, and there is elegence in that. It's reminiscent of a Mexican children's cartoon, to be honest, and that's great because it just works. It doesn't try to convey complex moral messages. There is good and evil here, and you are out to avenge your death and rescue the princesa. It's beauty is in simplicity in that way. This is a classic, it really is. If you are a fan of Metroidvanias, you are not doing yourself any favors if you have not at least tried out Guacamelee.

The combat is pretty damn fun in here! Throughout the game there are a bunch of cute funny references and details which make it super charming. Power ups are pretty exciting as a metroidvania standpoint. My only complaint would probably be that the game tells you where to go (with a marker on the map) pretty often; that can hold the exploration back, but nothing too bad. The game's awesome overall!

A short but very solid metroidvania with tight platforming and very fun combat. The platforming sections are fun challenges especially once most abilities are unlocked and especially demanding in the Infierno Challenges. The combat encounters while fun seem a bit too easy, like enemies usually die before you can even finish your sick combo. Wish hard difficulty was unlocked from the start. The presentation in this game is top-notch, charming artstyle, fantastic soundtrack and the whole mexican setting with some fun references put in there was great. The story is alright, nothing you haven't seen before. There's alot of replay value if you're going for the true ending and 100%. Its not the greatest metroidvanias but it is a fun time which doesn't need hours invested in it which is honestly enough for me to recommend giving this a go and it also tends to go on sale quite often so do keep an eye out if you're interested.
