I absolutely loved Guacamelee! when I played through it the first time, and that fact hasn’t changed here. This is, by far, the best version of Guacamelee! you’re likely to see, until the inevitable sequel arrives.
All of the tweaks and additions – no matter how minor – help to make Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition the definitive version of an already excellent game.

A simple story, with good plot. A simple gameplay with great progression. A lot of fun solo or in party.

Easy 10. I didn’t think I could like a wrestling game so much but it really is a true “metroidvania”. #1: gorgeous looking game packed with vibrant environments, wonderful tracks, and hilarious characters. #2: combat is very fun and addictive. #3: switching between land of the living & the dead is really awesome and works very well. #4: sick platform jumping sections. #5: Two player co-op is an absolute riot! My girlfriend and I cannot stop playing Guacamelee! I’m an old school 80’s NES kid so I love these types of games. When I hear kids today saying they’re bored of this game after a few hours it’s pretty disconcerting. This is a classic bro.

Guacamelee was great first time around and Drinkbox have taken something fantastic and improved on it even more this time with this release.
With new content, minor balancing and smart new formula tweaks, Drinkbox has managed to improve their already fantastic Mexican Metroidvania title.
While it might not be better than some of the classics of its genre, Gaucamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition still offers a plump pinata that delivers plenty of candy for players willing to break it open.
The adventure of Juan is better than ever. If you've already played, the additions are not particularly relevant, but if you don't, it's the best opportunity to do so.
While the total additions equal a killer product, I do think this version, even on new consoles, is slightly inferior to the Gold release.
I got to say this is an awesome game, I totally recommend it if you like metroidvanias. In my opinion, this is one of the best metroidvanias out there. The story is quite simple and it is not the strongest point of the game compared to other metroidvanias, although it is good enough and gives our hero an excuse to do what he does. The setting, music, graphics etc are simply great; it feels quirky, zany and very funny. The gameplay is perfect, it is easy to play and complete the main story, but hard to master (e.g. doing massively long combos) and get the 100%. Best of puzzling platforming metroidvania, if MV are your kind of thing you cannot let this one escape.

Great setting and plenty of self awareness glibness in presentation. The game itself is pretty fun, though some of the move chains you need to navigate certain sections were more than a little but frustrating, but I usually did the old reliable walk away and come back the next day and got past those places. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind this style of game not taking itself seriously.

A fun and charming metroidvania, Guacamelee engages players with a tried and tested formula and a creative coat of paint. It has aesthetic appeal and solid enough gameplay. However the combat and platforming can become a little tedious towards the end. The story comes off as generic as well.

I'll be honest. I hate this new style of HD indie, they look more lack a sharp looking flash game. They seem to lack any fine detail which to me makes the game dull.
Guacamelee had me bored after around 3-4 minutes. The graphics were so boring and lifeless I couldn't bare to play anymore. The text boxes and story I skipped after reading a few badly written sentences then after trying to use the sluggish controls to walk from one NPC to another in this crude, badly animated world I turned it off, uninstalled and will never play again.
Avoid at all costs even for free this month, bad choice yet again PS+.

A dull game not worth the money, there was nothing in particular about this game the made me happy I played it let alone invested $8 on it. The graphics are average, nothing even close to making me go wow, and the brawling just seems cheap. There's something off w timing & enemies can interrupt your attacks/ attack you from the dead world but you cannot hurt them unless you specifically change to the dead world even typing this sentence made me realize what a fk around it is. Every enemy can attack you regardless of the dead/ living world the game design is based on, even though a massive portion of the game is tied to switching to living/ dead world to attack/ avoid enemies, which is just lazy game design.
Fk this game, I hate it yo
