Guacamelee! 2 Reviews
Thanks to the way in which the history of video games developed, Metroidvania as a genre continues to nourish the romanticism that surrounds the titles that gives it a name. In that sense, Guacamelee!2 is a worthy representative of the genre since it complies with the elements required to be approved by enthusiasts, old and new school players. As promised, DrinkBox Studios has taken the series to the next level and everything has been greatly improved. The merit of the Canadian studio is that the game is capable of expressing itself through its mechanics.

Guacamelee! 2 contains everything I loved from the first iteration and builds upon the foundation. DrinkBox Studios kept the elements that worked so well in the game, like platforming, combat, visuals, and great music.
Despite some problems, Guacamelee! 2 is still entertaining and enjoyable to the end. The game follows the same successful formula as the previous version, and with a series of upgrades, it has become a complete and nearly flawless title that can easily satisfy the fans of Metroidvania genre

Guacamelee! 2 like its predecessor is a must-buy game for every Metroidvania fan. The platforming part is well-made and the changing between living and dead world and also human and roster-form, make interesting challenges which are sometimes very hard. Combat mechanics are also well-implemented but most fighting arenas are mostly identical and feel the same in terms of level design. But after all, If you want a great colorful fun metroidvania game, Guacamelee! 2 is for you.

When Guacamelee 2 does so many things right, from the wonderfully tight and responsible gameplay to the downright gorgeous look and feel of the Mexiverse, it's hard to not talk about it without gushing. But it's earned that right, delivering a top-tier experience across the board. It captures the essence of multiple genres and blends them brilliantly within a visually stunning world that's equally as fun to explore as it is to stare at.
Guacamelee! 2 is more like a nicely reunion with the old characters whom we know, as the new ones aren't that interesting. So if you intend to play this series, you MUST play the first installment first.

Guacamelee! 2 is a bigger, more fun, action-packed and even better-looking sequel that improves on everything the prequel did
Guacamelee! 2 feels just as good as its predecessor overall. Some of the hardest sections can be even more frustrating than the hardest challenges found in the original, but this is somewhat counterbalanced by the fact that it does streamline a lot of things that were more complicated than they really needed to be. The adventure has the potential for replay value, especially with DLC, achievement and multiplayer for up to four players thrown into the mix. The Mexiverse certainly feels worthy of being saved, despite the sometimes infuriating challenge proposed by Guacamelee! 2, and fans of the Metroidvania genre in general, but fans of the original, in particular, should definitely check this one out.
Guacamelee 2! is a required pick-up. The Metroidvania genre has enjoyed a number of certified classics over the past few years, and this one of them.
Guacamelee! 2 is a worthy sequel
Guacamelee is back with second adventure - it's not very different but still great fun. And it's hard...and catchy.

A balanced title offering some proper fast-paced fun imbued in good humor, recommended for those who are looking for a fun game without too much time commitment!
Beautifully brought to life in vivid art-style, Guacamelee! 2 is a worthy follow-up and an essential experience. It doesn't change too much but offers a satisfying and challenging adventure for even the most jaded Metroidvania fan.
Guacamelee! 2 is exactly the kind of game a sequel should be in terms of its gameplay.
Juan is come back and Guacamelee! 2 is another great metroidvania, full of action and with a fast pace.

Guacamelee 2 is a fantastic combination of jokes, knowing nods to other games and media, and titanium hard gameplay. Not only does it build on everything the first game did so well, it does it with the kind of spice that most sequels can only dream of. Grab your nachos and get involved.
Guacamelee 2 is a gorgeous, fun game with a sense of humor that makes me want to cry.
Guacamelee! 2 is a great sequel that manages to carry over everything that worked in the first game while offering a fun, zany new story for players to discover. The Nintendo Switch port brings the added bonus of portability and makes short play sessions possible for on the go players. Local co-op can be a bit rough if only using the Joy-cons but this is hardly a deal breaker. If you haven't picked up Guacamelee! 2 yet I highly recommend picking it us on the Switch as it offers everything the other consoles do with the perks of mobility.
