Steam review snapshots
Definitely recommended if you're in the market for a couch co-op game to try.It's pretty obvious where you should go and when to get those rewards, so the exploration aspect isn't the biggest here.In a nutshell, Guacamelee is an enjoyable, colorful, metroidvania/platformer that features fun (though few) boss fights, occasional platforming and combat challenges, and…It just gets complicated or confusing sometimes if you take a break and then come back to the game and forget how…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by weird, single-player.
