It's not very different, but it's worth playing as a refinement of what made the first so great. Gameplay consists of fighting enemies, platforming, and sometimes a bit of both at once. Constantly alternating between the two, the gameplay never becomes boring. Although the game is technically a Metroidvania, it never feels like it due to constant action and linearity. For the most part, this is a good thing because there is no place to "get stuck" and\/or become frustrated. Instead of offering a plethora of secrets, the open world serves to offer extra challenges for money and upgrades.The core gameplay of Guacamelee 2 consists of fighting rounds of enemies in closed chambers or throughout the map. As you progress, your character picks up new abilities very quickly. Because these powers are introduced at a reasonable pace, your move set feels relatively simple by the end of the game. However, it is the enemy variety that makes the game so fun. While fighting, you have to worry about dodging enemies, juggling between enemies in different dimensions, breaking open enemy shields, and avoiding environmental hazards. Although the combat is usually easy, the game rewards chaining combos and not being hit, so there is always an incentive to play well. As a side note, I have to thank DrinkBox for removing the "turbo" system from the previous game, which messed up the game's balance.Platforming is secondary to the combat, but it's not a negligible aspect of the game. If the game were to solely consist of platforming, it would not be worth buying. However, the platforming serves to add variety to the gameplay while also putting the core mechanics to use. In this context, it remains enjoyable.Besides that, there is not too much more to say about Guacamelee 2 besides that it is fun. No aspect of the game is extremely flawed and most of the game's ideas are well executed. Guacamelee 2 is by no means a must-buy, but it is easy to recommend.. Probably the smoothest feeling movement and combat of any game.. The developers decided that "harder = better" would be their design mandate for this game. Terrible difficulty curve, where the main game content rivals the hardest content in any Metroidvania you've ever played. Borderline unplayable. Dimension swapping and pollo swapping mechanics get tired fast, but the game finds new ways to stack your abilities on top of each other so that every room requires perfect execution to pass.Combined with some really unbalanced late game encounters, and Guacamelee! 2 becomes entirely skippable. Play The Messenger, instead. That's a difficult Metroidvania that respects your time and rewards mastery without asking you to do seventeen perfect techniques back to back. Only masochists need apply here.. O hecc this game is good. My only problem is that I don't have a controller, which makes the controls a bit weird and the 100% bonus challenge is near impossible on keyboard. Other than that (which isn't much of a complaint with this game, more my terrible laptop), this game is one of my favorite metroidvanias and is even better than its predecessor. 9\/10.. This game adds as many things that were not in the previous as a FIFA game
