Item: Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
Rating: 7
Author: Wayne Richardson

I enjoyed this game, elements were fun, artwork is nice but generally I found the constant melee fighting to be too much. I know right, it’s in the name. I should have known to expect it, but I just felt that at times I wanted to look around, discover and search for things to move the story forward and there just kept being these super busy fights that you were locked into; it just became a bit of a chore at times. As ever, I like to get to the end of games like this, see the ending of the story, but I got to the end before collecting all the elements I needed so couldn’t see the full story. I might go back to it and put a bit more time in, but it’s not engaging me enough. The Metroidvania element is this game were not my cup of tea. I am playing Messenger at the moment and am absolutely loving the Metroidvania style second half of the game so I am not sure why I didn’t enjoy Guacamelee. Rated it as a 7, made well enough, play it if you have access to it, but I wouldn’t recommend buying it if you have similar tastes to me.
