Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition Reviews

ay caramba

Sin notas.

Amazing game and a nice enhancement of Guacamelee (Gold).

I think if you like Metroidvanias, then you'll like this game. I saw a lot of people saying they didn't care for the humor but the humor was fine. I appreciated all of the gaming easter eggs crammed in there I also remember some people saying the platforming was disappointing but I thought it was just right with plenty of puzzle rooms to work through. Maybe the most disappointing is that the game is a too easy until you get to hard mode and it even tells you that this is where the game really starts. I'm glad I'm a bit of a completionist because the hard mode really does feel like the proper way to play the game. Also the combat was a lot of fun, you can get stunlocked a bit but it overall it was very satisfying to play.

Excellent metroidvania experience. Lots of parkour and puzzle with challenging combat (sometimes). It is causal in the sense that if you for instance get a boss to second phase and dies, you just continue on the second phase. it is very momentum heavy and minimizes the "running back to where you died" aspect. However the combos are pretty hard, after a few weeks i already forgot, so in that sense, it is not casual, you need frequent play to maintain your skill. Or maybe that's just me having a skill issue. Will recommend.

This is a really fun game. The rate at which you learn new abilities and/or upgrade feels just about right. Pollo is somewhat underused, but that is put right in numero 2. It can be extremely hard in places, bit generally has a decent skill curve. Buy it!

A shining prime example of how the age of a well made videogame doesn't matter. Have you ever wanted a 2D metroidvania but with deeper combat? Well look no further! With an art style somewhere between classic cartoon network shows and flash animation. I'm not an expert on Mexican culture, but a friend of mine who lives there seems happy enough with this game, it's worth mentioning because EVERYTHING in this game is very much influenced by traditional Mexican culture, music, luchadors and the day of the dead. What else? Oh yeah, this game has gone through a lot of updates to make it more polished (earlier builds actually needed a seizure warning but that's been fixed!) there's a bonkers 4 player co-op if that's your jam (but no online play which is a massive wasted opportunity) and also lots of LOTS of references to other games, both classic and indie and even internet memes! Well... memes that existed in 2013... No game is perfect, but I really do believe this game should be remembered up there with the likes of 2D Castlevania and Metroid, Doing what they do just as well but in it's own way.

I'm actually super frustrated with myself for sleeping on this game for so long. The writing is amazingly funny and clever, the moment-to-moment gameplay is super fun and the music and art direction is incredible. They do a great job of making an expansive world filled with collectables, easter eggs and shortcuts. My only real criticisms are for the endgame content. Guacamelee is very finicky to control when precision is required or mobs of enemies are on screen. Compared to other Metroidvanias, it doesn't feel as flexible with the controls and you'll often find the wrong move coming out because you're 1-degree off. Even worse, I've had many instances where the move just doesn't come out at all an Juan just stands there eating damage or falling to his death. The challenge rooms demand absolute perfection to pull off so... You can see how this would all kinda fall apart when put together. Honestly though, the last part only affects psychos like me who try to complete as much as humanly possible. Buy this game and you'll have a great time.
