Guacamelee! 2 Reviews
Guacamelee! 2 is just as good as its predecessor. Thanks to its challenging yet fair difficulty, it encourages playing continuously for hours.

As its primary criticism, Guacamelee! 2 could very well be deemed as more of the same. In any case, the attention to incredible level design and gameplay value proves that DrinkBox Studios had plenty more tricks to show with the old tools in hand. As for first-timers, if you don’t mind being spoiled by the final goings-on of the first adventure, then this sequel is definitely approachable enough for you to dive straight into it blindly.
Guacamelee! 2 is an excellent sequel, as entertaining and fun as the first one. Its improved graphic appearance and soundtrack will captivate us very easily. A difficulty adjusted to the millimeter suitable for all types of players, both beginners and experts. It is true that it is inspired by the first part and includes few new features, but it is still a remarkable game that should not be missed.

An already great Beat'Em Up receives a worthy sequel. Guacamelee! 2 not only improves the original game but also creates a funnier and better story, also the new powers and “game modes” are a welcome change and brings fresh ideas to the table.

If you can get past the difficulty of the game, there is a real gem here. And they did not skimp on the content. I finished the game at just under 11 hours and with just over 60% of the map completed. Like other Metroidvania games, you are encouraged to go back to previous areas with new abilities that you have unlocked. Thankfully the map system makes it fairly easy to see which areas you have not completely explored, and also clearly label paths that require a specific ability to unlock. I hope that this game does not remain largely missed in the greater gaming landscape, it is truly a great title. But to be fair, I didn’t even know about the first one until I played the Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition. But I can say this one is one of the better examples of the Metroidvania sub-genre, and is easy to recommend at it’s $19.99 asking price. DrinkBox just doesn’t seem to be interested in making a bad game or a cash grab, for which they should receive all the support in the world. Hop in and save the Mexiverse, who wouldn’t want a taco truck on every corner?
Nintendo Switch continues to collect many illustrious video games to its personal library. The most striking example is Guacamelee! 2, a title capable of collecting to sweeten the difficult mechanics metroidvania with the best Mexican traditions.

Guacamelee! 2 sticks closely to the core formula that made the original a massive success.
Guacamelee 2! helps the series graduate from an upper mid-card luchador to a main event level strongman that ultimately shines.
To say Guacamelee! 2 excels as a Metroidvania would be to sell it short. in recent memory.
If you enjoyed the original Guacamelee!, this sequel is an absolute must.
An enjoyable and funny game with a decent amount of content and challenge, but lacks a bit of polish and variety.

Guacamelee! 2 takes everything from the original game and makes it even more enjoyable.
I'm not sure if you can tell, but I really liked Guacamelee! 2. It took what made the first game and made it even better. Now that I've finsihed100% of the game I can say that its length was perfect, and I now look forward to doing a new run on Hard to get the final trophy I'm missing to unlock a new Platinum trophy for my collection. Guacamelee! 2, as was the case for its predecessor, is a must-buy release and one of the best games on PS4.
Guacamelee! 2 continues Drinkbox Studios streak of outstanding high quality games.
Five year was a long time for this sequel, but Drinkbox Studios have totally delivered with this one. Guacamelee! 2 takes everything that was great in the first game, adds more on top of it and presents you this title that is without a doubt a must-play. Hands down the best metroidvania I've played since… Guacamelee!
Guacamelee! 2 is more of the same. That's not a bad thing necessarily, and with a funny new story, those who have enjoyed Juan's previous adventure will likely be left smiling. But if you're new to the franchise, I'd still recommend starting with the original game before deciding if the sequel is worth picking up.
Guacamelee! 2 is a must have title.

Guacamelee! 2 is an example of a sequel done right. It is one of the most impressive co-op Metroidvania games on the PS4.
We take a trip into the Mexiverse to prevent a mystical guacamole from folding time in on itself. Yeah, things are gonna get weird.
