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.

Short version: Pros: + Silly, yet enjoyable story + Decent soundtrack + Solid, colorful presentation + Continuously introduces new abilities Cons: - While I agree it has charm, I still find it bland (I will elaborate down below) "Long" version: Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition or, from now on (for the sake of brevity), Guacamelee! is a 2D, metroidvania-side-scroller (is this even a thing?) developed and published by DrinkBox Studios. You take on the role of a luchador, with the objective of rescuing a damsel in distress from the grasp of an evil mafioso. Let us discuss the story first. While the game’s story might initially feel silly, with its countless goofy characters and their never-ending puns, the writing is solid and the developers managed to sneak in some heartfelt moments, which was surprising. The story is basically just going from A to B, pummeling everything in your way – it is simple but it works. There are also lots of pop culture references and little videogame and movie easter eggs (like Super Mario, for example). It is fun, but the novelty wears off about midway through the story. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3274631744 Gameplay is Guacamelee! ’s focus and, thankfully, is enjoyable. You start off with a few basic abilities, like punching and jumping, but you swiftly unlock new ones that allow you to deal with different enemies or make traversal easier or, in some cases, possible (many areas are inaccessible unless you have certain abilities). Let us focus on exploration first. Movement feels fluid and satisfying – the more abilities you unlock, the better it feels and the more freedom you have to deal with enemies and juggle them in the air. Speaking of enemies, combat is up next. It is good, albeit a bit chaotic sometimes. It is very mashy, at first, but after unlocking new abilities that have certain colors associated with them, you will be introduced to new enemy types that have a colored shield, which requires a specific ability of said color to damage. Once you do that, you are free to damage the enemy as normal. The combat sections only frustrated me one or two times, so I am totally OK with it, but the game introduced an enemy type or two that were either impervious to damage while charging at you or would barrel towards you way too fast, making it almost impossible to react accordingly. Now, I did get used to them, and would often try to cheese my way through each fight they were in, but they were never fun to deal with. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3274596989 While I liked the rhythm at which I unlocked new abilities, the farther I progressed through the story, the less I enjoyed the gameplay, as the maps became more complicated but not necessarily fun to traverse. Some of the abilities allow you to pretty much “fly” in a straight path, and those puzzles were also uninspired, I feel like. Also (and this is totally on me for doing it), trying to unlock everything is a chore. In terms of graphics, Guacamelee! features a very colorful presentation that should exude charisma. I say “should” because, while I can see how most people would think of the game as having lots of personality, I still found it rather… bland. It is not bad, by any means, but the more I played it the less impressive the new enemy design or the new environment looked. When it comes to sound effects, the game is solid. Your hits carry impact and ambient noises are good. There is no voice acting, as Guacamelee! relies on text-based dialogue to convey its story. The soundtrack is good, but I did find it a bit obnoxious from time to time (and yes, I did lower the volume). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3274632213 I am unsure about this game, to be honest. It is definitely good and I can confidently recommend it on that basis; if asked whether I had lots of fun with it or would replay it, I would have to say no. Again, a solid metroidvania with plenty of content. The price point is just right (and if you get it during a sale, even better!) and, by the looks of it, I am in the minority here. Most people love this game and you will most likely enjoy it too. It is just not my cup of tea, I guess. Final score: 7 out of 10.
