Critic Reviews for Guacamelee! 2
Guacamelee 2 is a hilarious, challenging, and rewarding follow-up to Drinkbox's original. It expands on the first's ideas in so many great ways, and marries a complex but understandable set of moves to both its combat and platforming.
Guacamelee! 2 is bigger and better than the first game while retaining the original's charm, humor, eye-catching art style, and rewarding Metroidvania-style gameplay.
Colourful, characterful and disarmingly charming, Guacamelee 2 is a hit.
Guacamelee 2 is another champion-grade Metroidvania, provided you can handle some corny humor and retreading of old mechanics.
Guacamelee 2 nails the Metroid formula while including its own style of combat and a great sense of humor
Guacamelee 2 doubles down on what worked in the original and presents the most formidable challenges yet.
Guacamelee! 2 is exactly the kind of game a sequel should be in terms of its gameplay.
