Guacamelee! Gold Edition Review I bought Guacamelee! fully expecting a game about punching avocados into fresh guacamole. I pictured intense avocado combat, competitive salsa-making, and maybe a final boss that was a giant tortilla chip. I was wrong. Instead, I got a magical luchador fighting skeletons, hopping between dimensions, and occasionally turning into a chicken. And that’s okay. Not once did I successfully make guacamole, but I did deliver enough flying uppercuts to qualify for a wrestling championship. The game is colorful, funny, and somehow makes “becoming a chicken” feel like a perfectly reasonable game mechanic. 0/10 for avocado preparation. 10/10 for everything else.3 found this helpful
I was thinking this was a metroidvania, but it has mixed in timed special move button combo fighting, which for a casual like me I'm not going to come back to and relearn all the moves each time I want to play for the 10 minutes I want to share with it.1 found this helpful
Guacamelee! is a vibe all around. The music and art direction is phenomenal, and I love how fluid the abilities are in both combat and platforming. It feels really good to combo attacks and stunlock enemies while hurling them across the room. The brevity of the Gold edition is refreshing compared to the beefier Super Turbo Championship Edition, and it's fun seeing the differences between the versions in real time. It was a nice challenge with keyboard and mouse without feeling overly janky. Try it out!
This is what Metroidvania games need to aspire to. This is one of the best Metroidvania i ever play. There is too much to love. The controls feel precise and give pleasure to fight. I have these Beat Me up mechanics that are beautiful. Fighting never feels like a lug, on the contrary, it feels wonderful. Platform sections are engaging, almost to the Celeste type of engaging. I’m Mexican, and I never feel that the cultural representation was cringed or made me uncomfortable. On the contrary, some things feel very local. Humor is great, even if it is full of 2010s meme stuff, it still makes you laugh. Music is very good, the way that changes when you go to the other world feels very natural and keeps you intrigued. The story is interesting enough to keep you remembering details and carrying about the characters. It doesn't take it seriously but also most of the jokes don't feel forced and the interactions between characters are funny. It has some sexual innuendo moments that are funny. The only jokes I have, but they are a product of their time, is the goat screaming. Idk why 2010s have a fixation around this. Recently I played a metroidvania called Blast bridge and I hate it. That…
Don't care what you think... PLAY... THIS... GAME!!!!!
As someone who beat stce like a million times on the Wii U of all things the original game is... neat. I guess I expected a little more but I didn't realize how much of an upgrade stce is. Just play this if you're curious, it's kind of whatever.... I can't recommend stce enough tbh.
