    After enjoying the first one I knew this would be a great game. Beat it in about 13 hours or so.

    Pros:
    - Always enjoy the combat - face paced but tactical as well
    - Good difficulty in the platforming sections
    - Funny story and especially the turn based parody

    Cons:
    - Bosses were not very difficult

    Yet another Mexican inspired metroidvania from DrinkBox Studios that might not reinvent itself but instead, they took almost every aspect that made the original great and polished it to near perfection. Brawl, chicken, and pile drive your way through a very interestingly designed world in this weird hybrid of condiment, meets wrestler.

    After destroying the original game, I thought I was too good at pecking, kicking and jumping to ever be challenged by a game again. None the less, I found myself challenged and stimulated throughout my Mexiverse adventure. I especially liked the Picolo enemy!

    Guacamelee! 2 is a great adventure in a colorful world with deep mechanics, interesting style, good jokes and funny references. If you love metroidvania genre and liked the first game, then you should buy a sequel immediately.

    Great game. Difficult average, gameplay funny and most varied, but a little bit harder than the first game

    If this had starred a certain italian plumber it would have recieved 10's across the board. and just because dead cells is a 10 , does not mean this isnt. this is a bonafide 10/10 game in its own right.

    This game is fun. I love that you don't get lost, but it still feels like a maze. I love the chicken runs.
    Great game. Smart writers and funny dialog. So much fun.

    I love platformers in the metroidvania-style, but this one has got something really special. It's even better than the first one. I kept thinking about the difficulties I had finishing some of the harder sections when going to sleep and felt utter joy when I managed to beat it the next day. Good flow, if you pay attention. Good old fun. Graphics are great, same goes for jokes - and theI love platformers in the metroidvania-style, but this one has got something really special. It's even better than the first one.

    Better than the (already good) first opus on every aspects. Be aware of it being more difficult too. Reactive commands, punchy fights, humoristic tone overall, the game will demand a lot of you but it is so much fun.

    I loved the overall vibe of the game. The gameplay is refreshing and the level design is good. Some parts are funny, some parts are difficult. Overall i would say that the game is well balanced. I really enjoyed playing this game. The only con is the co-op mode.

    Segue il predecessore con piccoli miglioramenti e un ottimo livello di sfida.

    Moment when Juan wears a mask and his "pants" turn bigger is kinda SUS.
    This game is like a hollow knight(or other metroidvania) but funnier

    Guacamelee! 2 is a worthy sequel. DrinkBox has retained and refined everything from the predecessor, while adding a number of number new features that improve on the formula. An overabundance of platforming segments can be frustrating, but the combat is as fun and as hectic as ever!

    Guacamelee! 2’s penchant for self-deprecating humor often functions as an acknowledgement and dismissal of its own issues. Why yes, it is awfully convenient that I’ve suddenly been pulled into an alternate timeline in which I must save the world in roughly the same manner as my last go, but no, Guacamelee! 2 doesn’t stop being an uncharacteristically halfhearted rehash just because the writers scored a few easy laughs from it.

    Fixing what wasn’t broken appears to have been the studio’s number one goal, and they accomplished it. It would have been nice for some more new gameplay elements to have been introduced and for the controls to have received a little bit of precision. It also would have been nice if the Juan had been more fleshed out, as was promisingly teased in the game’s prologue. These issues aren’t deal breakers, though, which means that gamers looking for a good time of cracking skulls and terrorizing enemies as a chicken should find the experience that they seek.
