So I absolutely LOVED the first one of these games. Played it monstrously when I first got it and even reinstalled it a few months ago for a replay.
Which must have been karma as the steam game showed up a few days after. So I added it to my wish list.
And then when it came out last week and I had a 10% off for owning the original I picked up the sequel.
And it's bloody, viciously brilliant.
Not really different from the first one.
But just as fun, just as creative, and some of the puzzles are just fiendishly difficult.
I ploughed way too many hours into it these last few days and just finished it this evening!
Seriously - there's so many good metroidvania games out there right now, and we're really lucky. But the guacamelee games have noooo trouble standing out. And rightfully so.
Only thing that annoyed me was the number of cutscenes at the start. After that though it's plain sailing! and lots of references and cheese from other games baked in.
Next: hard mode!!
