“The combat, the platforming, the dialogue and references are so fun! Guacamelee never fails to deliver! Great game to play in co-op too! LUCHA! 🤼❤️”
“Awesome sequel to the first game, great art style, great combat. Overall this game has a pretty comedic tone which gives it more character. I wrote this review to support Drinkbox Studios :)”

“Guacamelee is a great metroidvania! The music is great; I would bob my head to the music as I chose to select what skill to level up, or as I made a decision on what part of the map to explore next. The story is very…”
“This is a decent sequel carrying over all of the abilities of the first game with a few new ones added. If you liked the first one, then you'll like this one as the music and combat stand out as strong selling points on…”

“9/10 Highly Recommended. This is actually a revisit of the game for me as I originally played it on Game Pass several years ago. Replaybed both Guacamelee games. The original gets an 8.5/10 and this one a 9/10 by 2026…”
“GREAT sequel to the first game. Everything here is basically the first game turned up to 11. The normal-mode story is pretty easy, and the bosses could’ve been harder, but that’s what hard mode is for, I guess. (I…”

“Compared to the first: - More difficult (not exceedingly so) - Less of a compelling narrative - Still just as fun I'd absolutely recommend if you liked the first. Played through on an Odin 2 Mini (using GameNative)”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“A fantastic sequel and another must-play for Metroidvania fans. The combat feels even better here — flashy, satisfying, and really fun. The world is well-designed, the art style is even more beautiful than in the first game, and the humor and atmosphere are excellent. Once…”
— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“Funny, challenging and really fun. That's all I have to say. Starts a little slow but then picks up very quickly so please be patient with it. This is a 10/10 game man. I have enjoyed playing it on my PC and my Legion Go S.”
