Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is a great metroidvania, that takes tropes from the genre and turns them into a joke. Humor aside, this is a fun title with a colorful world and interesting combat.
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is simply the best the game has ever been.
In an era when re-releases are defined exclusively through a hurried assemblage of post-release content, it's nice to see a developer make a genuine effort to improve the whole game and not simply bolt parts on and call it a day. Guacamelee was already a great game, and while not all of the extras for Super Turbo Championship Edition are beneficial, it's tough to say the grand experience isn't better for their inclusion.
With this Super Turbo Championship Edition,the DrinkBox Studios creature arrives on next-gen consoles proving to largely deserve the stage. Guacamelee! it is always the usual fun to play, here seasoned by a 2D technical sector now close to perfection and by a few but targeted new content that improves its gameplay and increases its duration. Beautiful to see, fun, full of brilliant and satisfying finds to play. Guacamelee! is exactly what a princess is to her luchador. Now you have no more excuses to let it get away from you.

It remains one of the best and most surprisingly great games of the past few years, and this definitive console edition is the best way to experience the game if you haven't already taken the Luchador leap. It's fun, creative, and lasts just long enough to make you wish there was more.
As the definitive version of Drinkbox Studios 2013 breakout smash, Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition builds upon the success of the original with extra content, tweaked gameplay, stunning next-gen visuals and a brilliant new boss battle.
Even if you've already played through Guacamelee! when it first made its rounds on the PS3 and Vita, the Super Turbo Championship Edition is packed with enough new content and tweaks, that it more than begs you to dive right back in and bust some skulls.
Guacemelee is fun, hilarious and challenging... so why aren't you playing it?
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition is beautiful 2D Metroidvania styled game for all ages.
Breaking down the quality and value of May's Playstation Plus Instant Game Collection
G!STCE is an amazing achievement for an indie studio. The game is a perfect example of a Metroidvania style adventure and although it takes a lot of cues from its predecessors, it adds enough of its own originality to stand out from the crowd. I hope DrinkBox decide to bring back Juan and his world for a second outing in a sequel. For such a popular genre among gamers, it's surprising how few Metroidvanias actually make it out to mainstream consoles.
It's still good old Guacamelee, but watered with a new sauce and tasty additions. STCE is by far the best and most complete edition of the game. Consider purchasing even if you have a PS3 or Vita version.

Guacamelee is a fusion of intense platforming and beat-em-up combat, framed in Metroidvania conventions and topped off with a memorable cast, distinct setting, a stellar soundtrack, and zesty humor. These ingredients combine to make for a flavor that's genuinely fresh and incredibly satisfying.
DrinkBox wants in on the very prestigious indie-darling club, and now players on a mess of platforms, including the Xbox One, are the benificaries. References strewn about the game are a calling card to DrinkBox's favorite developers in that club, like 'Journey' and 'Castle Crashers.' The game itself exists in adoration of Metroidvania classics. The thing is, DrinkBox only ever needed to create exactly this game for entry, because 'Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition' is its own insane, wild, extravagant, explosive, brilliant beast. It might draw from 'Metroid' and other games in a similar vein, but the pure and creative execution of those ideas, wrapped up in some Mexican glory, bow-tied with delicious melee action, makes 'Guacamelee!' a generation-crossing, 'Super Turbo Championship' classic.
Even so, if you're a big fan, I can see you grabbing the Super Turbo Championship Edition. The bottom line is that Guacamelee! is one of the most entertaining, engaging, and even innovative titles we've seen in the past year, and all avid gamers owe it to themselves to give it a try. The "Metroidvania" structure somehow blends beautifully with the gaudiness of the Mexican Luchadore theme, and you just never want to stop playing.
Guacamelee! is the incredible adventure, offering up thrilling events and plenty of combat in between its humour. DrinkBox have done an amazing job and the Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition for the PS4 is more than a worthwhile experience.
