Guacamelee! 2

I really did enjoy the gameplay of the first part of the series but the second game improves it sooooo much. More abilities, ways to upgrade and more fun. I'm very late to those games and i love every minute of it.

More characteristic Guacamelee insanity! This one is, perhaps inevitably, different from the original STCE: not just a sequel but a development. The story is even more bonkers than in the original: perhaps it loses some of the original's inimitable charm. But it's certainly funny, especially if you've played through STCE. I definitely recommend playing STCE first, as there are a lot of in-jokes which you wouldn't get if you hadn't. Graphics. Much richer than the original, with far more detail in the backgrounds. But I do sometimes miss the relative simplicity of the original's look. This is, of course, still a beautiful game to look at, with some inspired artwork. Perhaps not as sinister as the original: that gave the original an edge. Which brings me to the music, which is well up to the standard of the original, with some really good tracks. As with the graphics, I'm not sure they convey the same dark feel as in the original: but that's maybe not the intention. The atmosphere of Guac2 is far sillier, lighter than the original. Gameplay. As an STCE veteran, I haven't found the enemies that hard to beat, even 5 hours in. There are plenty of new enemies, with interesting new moves: but they're just... well, not that hard to kill. I've yet to meet one who gave me serious difficulty. On the other hand, enormous effort has been put in to devising insanely ingenious platform problems: these I found much harder than the enemies. Outside special (bonus or well-advertised "this is near-impossible" areas), these are always solveable in a few tries: not as frustrating as some of the main-plot problems in the original. There are some really clever side-levels, including one which is an entirely blank, white screen. To find your way around it, you have to "decorate" it: but to avoid spoilers, I won't say how. The chicken has been _seriously_ buffed, and has an entire sideplot of its own. I'll leave it for you to find out more...

Nice game! Memes, funny, gameplay

Finished the 1st and now playing the sequel.. Very good platform games.

its good it has many platforming challenges, some are optional , it keeps you busy with new powers every now and then
