Double dipping in your guac is usually a bad thing. That's not the case with Guacamelee! 2, which serves up some fun brawler action with Metroidvania stylings. It can feel a bit drawn out at times and the combat can feel a bit button-mashy. Fun mechanics, however, combined with hilarious humor makes this Juan game worth your while.
This sequel offers rock-solid platforming, funny dialogue, and addicting-as-ever Metroidvania mechanics. It’s challenging, rewarding and full of spunk. I recommend it as a must play for anyone who likes platformers, co-op titles, and of course, Metroidvania games.
A dazzling, thrilling action-platformer with a potent cocktail of combat and platforming components, all set in one of the most appealing game worlds around. It's not a massive progression from the original, and its sheer relentlessness can prove tiresome, but Guacamelee! 2 is a real celebration of a sequel.
Guacamelee! 2 draws a lot, really a lot, from the original...ad while that may seem like a flaw, it quickly becomes obvious that it's not. The déjà vu feeling is there but that hardly matters when Gucamelee! 2 treats the players to such a marvelous humour all around its levels, to an addicting gameplay and to a fantastic four-player co-op mode that makes it even more enjoyable to play with friends.

DrinkBox Studio's Guacamelee! 2 is hitting Nintendo Switch and the sequel is just as colorful and fun as ever
Guacamelee! 2 is making approach - more and better. The core of the game was not changed, the platforming sections and the fighting with enemies were balanced, cooperation for four players was added, and an even greater dose of meme-fueled humor was added. True Gem.

Once you get the hang of it, Guacamelee 2 really is for everyone — challenging, but not too challenging
Despite being challenging, especially if you want the optional true end, Guacamelee! 2 retains everything that made the original great.
If Guacamelee was a celebration riot through metroidvania, its sequel feels closer to an orderly parade across the same space. Guacamelee! 2 is a warm, expertly designed, devilishly preposterous, and, ultimately, safe return to its Mexiverse.
Guacamelee! 2 is a fantastic, almost flawlessly designed and well-paced action platformer, complete with charm, humour and heart. It builds upon the first game brilliantly, making Juan's latest adventure just as thrilling and hilarious as I'd have hoped.
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.
Guacamelee 2 is a very safe sequel that does little to innovate or surprise, but it's still a solid action-platformer with satisfying combat, tight controls, and an undeniable charm.
While treading the same ground as the original Guacamelee, this sequel take a familiar formula, and spices it up with a few new mechanics, a great story, and tons of rewards for those willing to face the plethora of optional challenges and side quests scattered throughout the world
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!
