Guacamelee! 2 Review -- CLS Side Quest

It's been more than five years since the original Guacamelee! came out, but the long wait is over. Its sequel -- Guacamelee! 2 -- has finally arrived. In remaining true to the original's aesthetic and gameplay formula, DrinkBox Studios has crafted a worthy successor to one of last generation's finest Metroidvanias. Indeed, Guacamelee! 2 is very much worth your time, even here in 2018, when Metroidvanias lurk around every corner. Colin's Last Stand: Side Quest is free of baked-in ads, product placement, and other obnoxious forms of advertising because of your support.

Great review Col! Can't wait to get a chance to play.

Lucas Gremista

Great video, Colin! Guacamelee 1 is one of my favorite Metroidvania games to this date. PS: Please add a review score at the end. PS 2: I'm just kidding.

Chris Barnes

That reminds me. I need to go back and platinum G1.

Christian Doolan

Yeah great to see the game and hear your opinion Colin. A well written and well executed review! As I type, I was reminiscing about game reviews in the magazines. You would see the score together with the review, but still read every word, swoon over the screen shots and repeat, until the game’s release. Those were the days! I’m excited to know what plans you have for big game reviews/discussions on future podcasts. I think that’s the way to go. Could it work by adding game footage of yours and combining a recorded discussion with Chris?

Greg

Downloading now! I was curious, I remember a while ago you talked about La-Mulana, have you had the chance to check out the sequel?

BettyAnn Moriarty

Sounds wonderful. I’d love to try it. Of course I’ll frustrate you to no end (those controllers!!! 😬) but I think it’s worth a try.

Nah, no footage or video component will be included with anything Sacred Symbols-related. I simply don't have the bandwidth!

I played through the first game and enjoyed it fine, but I wasn't over the moon the way you and several of my friends were. I'll check this one out down the line, but Dead Cells is up after Octopath Traveler. Great review, Colin. I can always trust you're going to give us the real shit.

Nice man. Looks great. Is there still a 2 player option?

If you're talking about Guac 2, there's actually 4 player. I probably wont play it until it comes to xbox but it looks cool. i played the 4 player stuff at pax east earlier this year

It's still a struggle for me today. Truth be told, I've just had to learn to let go. I cannot play everything, or nearly everything. You just have to choose carefully, I guess!
