    This is my game of the year I absolutely loved it... It gives great props in the form of chozo statues from Metroid to get your power-ups and gives suttle references to a lot of other retro games. I can't wait for a part 2

It has beautiful music and the art style is gorgeous. As for the new features there are two incredibly large areas to explore with new ever-annoying enemies to provide an increased challenge.

You run around beating the crap out of skeletons while also figuring out some pretty challenging obstacles. the simple addition of adding another dimension (the land of the dead) made the world twice as big and also forced you to think about each encounter. Really impressed with the artwork too, although since I'm Mexican I was naturally bias :)… Expand

Seriously, if like a challenging and well balanced game, try this one.

    Charming and funny story. Beautiful design. Great combat and mechanics. Got it for free of PSPlus so I may be biased.

    Sticking to walls while platforming is a pain in 1 or 2 occasions but otherwise fine.

    It achieved what it set out to accomplish, a funny metroidvania game, 9/10 for me.

It was very fun to branch out just to look for chests, and the challenge of the fun platforming you need to get through to get to your reward. The story was meh, but this game is all about gameplay and exploring/platforming. The boss battles were fun and challenging, and the small side quests were unique and rewarding.

    Guacamelee super turbo championship edition is a re-release of the exceptional plat-former/beat-them-up which impressed both critics and consumers alike last year. The game is now on the PS4 with new attacks, new enemies, new bosses, new levels, new modes, new skins and a graphical improvement.

    The Playstation 4    Guacamelee super turbo championship edition is a re-release of the exceptional plat-former/beat-them-up which impressed both critics and consumers alike last year. The game is now on the PS4 with new attacks, new enemies, new bosses, new levels, new modes, new skins and a graphical improvement. To put it simply, this is everything a game of the year edition should be.
    The Playstation 4 edition retains both the fun combat and challenging platforming that we loved last year and adds minor gameplay improvements to enhance the experience, such as the enemies now having health bars in addition to being able to choose costumes which alter health and stamina. These minor refinements only improve upon an already solid core game. The most obvious new addition to the game is the Intenso ability which is a standard rage mode, it works similarly to Batman’s shock gloves in Arkham Origins. The Intenso ability definitely makes the game easier but to balance that out, new elite enemies have been added to the latter stages of the game. For gamers interested in a challenge there’s still the Hard mode and also a new Shadow mode which makes enemies which shields much harder to defeat. Co-op also returns but it’s really nothing more than an afterthought as platforming which tele-porters and multiple dimensions is also impossible with two people.
    The new content for Guacamelee is interesting as unlike other story DLC such as The Last of Us left behind and Batman Arkham Origins Mr Freeze DLC which take place either completely before or after the core game, the new additions for Guacamelee have been woven into the core story with new levels and bosses taking place in parts around the middle of the game. This approach may annoy some Guacamelee veterans who just want to play through the new levels. But no matter how experienced you are at Guacamelee, the new DLC will add an extra 30% of playtime to the game, solving the issue of the original releases problem of being too short.
    Graphically there are only minor improvements to an already good looking game. The frame-rate is the most welcome improvement as it perfectly complements the slick fast paced action. The higher resolution is hardly noticeable, the increased amount of objects in the foreground however can be irritating as both Juan and enemies can become harder to see, this only happened occasionally but it was worth mentioning.
    Overall Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition is an excellent example of a game of the year edition as it gives more content, includes all the original DLC and maintains the strong original experience, for those reasons it gets an A-grade.
    I strongly recommend the PS4 edition to anyone who hasn’t played the original game as it is the definitive version and I also recommend it to people who have already played the game, only if you live in the EU though, your probably thinking that’s a very strange requirement but the reason is because if you already own the game or have it through Playstation Plus the PS4 version will only cost £3 if you live in Europe. This offer is not available for non-Europeans and, at full price, this is not enough content to warrant buying the game again.    … Expand

    I had a lot of fun playing this game. It's easy, but also challenging. If you want to complete it at 100%, you need at least 15 hours (the first time :D). The two different switching worlds are a great idea.

    Guacamelee starts with an average Joe type of character turned into a super luchador after a series of unfortunate events. The combination of humor, great combat design, and a unique Mexican art style make for a great cohesive experience.

    Combat: The combat reminds me of a wrestling game mixed with a fighting game. There is so much satisfaction launching opponents into the air, getting a 3 hit combo, then transitioning into a bone crunching suplex. As the protagonist wears a luchador outfit, there is a strong emphasis on wrestling moves like the super frog splash. This game is the best thing to happen for wrestling fans and fighting games alike. As the game progressively gets more difficult, your moveset can be upgraded and larger combos can be generated. There are also more enemies on screen, which plays great into the ability to suplex or throw opponents into one another. Doing so can launch another opponent into the air that can be followed up with more combos and the following sequence can be repeated. Skilled players can easily get 200 hit combos, the largest I got was 117.

    Progression: Staying true to the theme of the game, the user acquires Pesos based on enemies defeated, treasures found, and the length of the combos during battles. Upgrades are pretty expensive, so the player is forced to decide what exactly they want to build out. You are not forced to grind at any point, but you do have the freedom to go back and defeat more enemies for more Pesos if you wish. There did not seem to be a limit on upgrades, and from some footage I've seen online there were people that had far more life and stamina than I did. I was able to complete the game without having to go back at any point though. Defeating bosses gives you sliver coins, which are used to buy skins or outfits. Buying outfits usually consist of a trade off, for example "hits drain life of enemies, but player has 50% normal health". You can switch outfits at any checkpoint though, so its fun to try out different outfits and see what suits your play style.

    Story

    The story emulates Super Mario. Superboss has your love, you chase them through the game, and you defeat a bunch of sub-bosses along the way. At one point, there is even a tribute to Mario during a boss battle, which was awesome. The dialogue stayed true to the Mexican theme throughout the entire experience. Characters periodically speak Spanish, and names of characters are slang Spanish (Mexican) which brings authenticity and humor to the dialogue. I could not believe the people that made this game were from Canada. The writing is funny and keeps you engaged, but the focus of the game is gameplay. I was happy the story was written concise and dense enough to allow for quick, purposeful dialogue that allowed me to get back into the action.

    Art

    Environment: There is a clear influence on the art that resides with Mexico itself. The color palette is very festive and bright, and I think I've seen every major color in this game. Even the dead dimension has neon incorporated within it, making everything feel very alive and fast paced. It makes for a very pleasing look that never seems to let up. There are details and works of art in every corner of the game. From the skeletons that resemble the known day of the dead art style to the design of the villages, each element of this game was carefully thought out and executed cleanly.

    Animation: With the amount of enemy types and NPC characters I was surprised I did not feel like there were shortcuts taken with animation. It seemed each enemy had their own thing going on and nobody shared moves or animations. With 2D games often times there are things that get re-used and it is easily identified. I appreciated the fact that this was either hidden very well or not done at all. Along with the rest of the art style, animation was flawless and there isn't much else to say than that.

    Conclusion

    A must have. The game is accessible to people of all ages. It is friendly enough for kids yet mature enough for a hardcore gamer myself. It reminds me of watching a Pixar movie where hidden jokes are added that only adults understand. When I was done playing, all I wanted to do was play more. The combat system is the star of this game because it is so addicting, but supported very well by the art style and authentic Mexican folklore that is both educational and fun to experience.    … Expand

It has a nice theme and soundtrack; although there's no real story and the aesthetics could do with a bit more work. It is however, a wacky game with some comical moments. The gameplay is a nice mix of platforming and combat; with the mechanics being particularly refreshing. Despite the relatively large set of actions, it doesn't feel overwhelming. The dimension-swapping is used particularly well throughout the game. Its semi-open-world nature allows for some additional challenges, side quests and collectibles. The enemies aren't repetitive and are satisfying to fight against. Combat is simple and intuitive but has enough depth to avoid repetition - especially given the variety of enemies and the use of dimensions and shields which require special moves to break. However, the game falls short at times chiefly because of the way it handles two players on screen. If you are playing as a guest on a local system, Player 1 always has "priority" meaning that if the guest overcomes a platforming section whilst Player 1 fails, the game has a 3 second timer for which, regardless of where you may be, the guest is respawned back to where Player 1 is. The "bubble" used to spawn players is particularly annoying as having to navigate to where the other player is isn't always easy when the screen is cluttered with enemies. The game also has far too much combat relative to platforming; which is a shame given the excellent platforming mechanics which can only really be appreciated fully in the Infierno challenges. If the game had more of these challenges, it would be better. The character customisation is nice and simple but could allow for more options. It is often difficult to keep track of one's character during flashy combat sections with lots of enemies. For a PS4 game, it is definitely not a graphically pleasing game - it looks like a mobile game. However, given the small team that made it, the amount of content, quality and the price, I would definitely recommend it as an excellent co-operative game that almost anyone can enjoy.… Expand

    Guacamelee is a fun mashup of a platformer and a beat 'em up that plays much like a Metroid style game. It is a little too long and relies on back-tracking to much. Some of the boss attacks are also cheap, spreading damage across nearly the entire screen. On the whole, though, this game brought back that Nintendo feeling.

    The fantasy Mexico setting is full of video game in-jokes. The enemies are incredibly varied, especially the bosses. The attacks are easy enough to employ, and even I, a button masher through and through, could pull off a few combos.

    The back tracking and boss fights did bother me both from a practical standpoint and philosophically. Practically, I don't want to waste my time running around the game world. There are teleportation points on the map for faster travel, but this concession would be unnecessary if the game world was designed as linearly as the story. (I had the same complaint with the more impressive looking "Dust: An Elysian Tale".) Some of the boss fights also took too long. The bosses with timed, area of affect attacks are a throwback and work well with the retro-feel of Guacamelee. Some of the boss attacks, are too cheap and cover too much of the screen. The final boss battle is grueling, Maybe its my age showing, but I value the quality of the experience more than the quantity.

    Philosophically, I believe this game was made for the hard core gamer and those gamers are served well. For a casual gamer, such as my children, this game could be too frustratingly difficult. And it's not just the boss battles. Some of the platforming requires expert timing and precise button control. What will happen to this genre if all the games present a barrier to entry?    … Expand

    So if you haven’t played guacamelee before, this is the version to get…
    This metroidvania took me around 6 and a half hours to complete and can be played with up to 4 player cooperatively…
    After hearing so many great things I as excited to go back and play this game before guacamelee 2 came out, and boy am I happy I did…
    admittedly guacamelee took so time to grow on me.. I didn’t instantly fall in love… at first I was a little confused why everyone loves it so much… sure the art style is nice and the game is full of humor.. But the gameplay, the platforming... it all felt super simple and button mashy… but as the game goes on it just gets better and better…
    no 2 hours of this game feels the same… the game slowly spoon feeds you new abilities that are mostly for traversing, allowing you to go back to past areas if you’d like for its collectables to help upgrade your health or endurance, but these also double as combat moves for the challenging and constantly engaging combat moments…
    the game increasingly gets challenging with both its platforming as well as with its enemies it introduces.. So you never feel like you’re just going through the motions... every minute of this game is engaging and keeps you hooked… there are costumes you can unlock to challenge you more or balance the character more towards your play style.. This is such a complete package from start to finish, a world that entices you to explore for its secrets, so many moments I would laugh out loud at the dialog, decently challenging bosses...
    I actually felt like bosses were more of the time to relax and breathe before you’re thrown back out into platforming through this world… guacamelee is wonderfully placed and is a must play game for platforming fans or metroidvania fans alike

    Packed with added content and smart mechanical revisions. This PS4 version is worth revisiting, even if the original was nacho thing. [September 2014, p77]
