Review: Guacamelee!


I’ve been waiting for this game for over two years, since the first time I saw it at PAX East 2012, and let’s just say that the game was totally worth the wait!

LOVEs:

  • The art style
  • All the hidden memes (that’s all I’m saying)
  • The dialog *with my added Mexican accent*
  • One price get two versions (if you have a PS Vita you get it when you get the PSN version)
  • All the trophies!
  • Replay value – there are a butt load of areas where you need to come back to once you get certain powers
  • (Personal favorite – if you couldn’t tell by the picture) The chickens and chicks in the game!

HATEs:

  • No online co-op however there is remote play!
  • Feels a bit short story wise – I got so many powers so fast I don’t know if I liked that

I posted my first “highlight” of me playing on YouTube, be sure to check it out – there will be more videos to come!

If you haven’t picked up Guacamelee! you should, its $14.99* on the PSN store, which gives you both versions of the game (Playstation and PS Vita).

* $11.99 if you are a PS+ member.
