    The discount for owning the original is only 66% with makes it cos't 2,5€ more than on ps4. Don't know if it's because valves 1$=1€ policy or what but I bought a pc to get cheaper games. For faulty pricing I have to take a couple of points.
    The game itself is great and if you haven't played the original you should try this. Best platforming betemup since 90' and it has co-op!

    + Entertaining gameplay that blends its combat mechanics well with its platforming mechanics
    + Elegant game systems that create a smooth flow curve ? Silly story and characters are amusing at face value, but provide little depth and could land flat for some ? The character feels heavy and requires incredibly precise inputs overcome difficult challenges, which could feel weird    Tier 2

    ? The character feels heavy and requires incredibly precise inputs overcome difficult challenges, which could feel weird for platforming fans
    - World-swapping mechanic is at times amazing and at times very frustrating, making the gameplay more similar to a rhythm-based button execution system than typical platforming    … Expand

    Final Score - (7.5) Good

    In-Depth Review (Spoiler Free)
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Visuals - 8/10 - (Very Good)
    The game is quite beautiful and unique, hardly leaving anything for desires. Even though it is a small world, the areas are quite different from each other giving you a feeling of freshness. The game becomes even more beautiful and fresh when you unlock the ability to change between dimensions and you can experience everything from a new perspective.
    Since the game doesn't support 21:9 the black bars can become quite distracting and pull you out of the game's immersion.

    Gameplay - 8/10 - (Very Good)
    Guacamelee! has some mechanics which are not new to the genre but are executed quite well by mixing your combat abilities with the platformer sections and puzzle-solving.
    When it comes to combat the game is quite responsive and smooth, feeling really good to control and hardly ever getting in your way when attempting a combo or string of attacks.
    The platforming is well responsive and challenging and is one of the game's strongest assets, completing the platforming areas fell quite rewarding and fun.
    All the enemies follow certain patterns of attack and becoming accustomed to them is a must, bosses have unique and fun patterns to master, that makes you feel quite rewarded for defeating them.

    Story - 6/10 - (Fine)
    The story is quite simple and the classic damsel in distress trope. The girl who is Juan's love interest gets kidnapped by a group of villains and the hero has to save her by defeating the evil bunch. It is simple, but Cohesive and cute enough to serve as a background to the game.    … Expand

    Great artwork (8/10), great soundtrack (9/10), half the time boring gameplay (6/10), most of the time disappointing controls (5/10), boss fights are dull and needlessly frustrating (4/10), rather fun story and world (8/10). Edit: Uninstalled without finishing the final boss fight's 2nd part. To be more precise overall game play doesn't feel much fulfilling compared to what it requires to finish.

    Overly referential with gameplay that doesn't go anywhere.

    If you’ve never heard of words like “metroidvania” and “beat-‘em-up”, Guacamelee! is an excellent entry point for you.

    Drinkbox studios took an already great game, and made it that much better.
