When Guacamelee first dropped in 2013 we weren’t exactly hurting for metroidvanias, but we weren’t in the completely resplendent period we are now either.
Here’s the thing about Guacamelee 2 — it’s one of those lateral sequels, the kind where it’s mostly the same, just in a different setting. As someone who didn’t get enough the first time around that’s more than okay.
