Guacamelee 2 is a 2d retro inspired Metroidvania game and it's a second installment in the series. What I loved in both games, that they don't trap themselves in a retro limbo and add something new and fresh from our times.
First of all, it's artwork looks really beautiful, especially in action, the soundtrack is varied and interesting, the combat is fast and fluid. You have various moves and ability to shift perspectives which is necessary to fight some monster and traverse some of the puzzles. But the game is designed in such a perfect way that it teaches each new move and mechanic over the course of the game without the player noticing it. Guacamelee 2 improved in all the aspects from its predecessor, its puzzles are better and more varied, the combat is even more enhanced and the story and the jokes are better written.
It's a perfect example of the retro game formula mixed with a modern twist without changing its core, but at the same time without trapping itself in only old ideas. I loved it!

This game is dedicated to those who still like pixel art and 2d games, but it's not innovating genre in any way, it's straightforward and simple. It's a good example of how to redesign old ideas without adding much innovation, but still ending up being a fun experience. It has all the necessary old-school components: good chiptune soundtrack, pixel art graphics, and retro game feel.
Though it's not without faults either, my 3 biggest gripes with it are:
1. No bosses at all in the game which is strange considering it's a huge part of any 2d retro game
2. Your water jetpack takes some time to get used to.
3. And the main one, the ability to jump to a background or a foreground, you can do that only in couple places in the level where the game lets you, but this mechanic is implemented badly. Most of the times when you are in the background, enemies from the foreground blocks your way and it's hard to navigate. It's not necessary to see them at all, as when you jump to a different plain, usually, you can't go back.
It's not a good game, it's not bad either, it runs somewhere in the middle, so know that before starting it.

Depressing, but sweet. So, bittersweet. I liked the depressing parts as well as the sweet parts.
It's interesting, too. Mentally stimulating, not just emotionally stimulating.
Heed the warnings. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has killed themselves over this game. But if you honestly think you can handle it, play it now!

Yeah so I beat the game about EIGHT times and also ONCE without cheats from start to finish every mission, if that doesn't make me a true gamer I don't know what does.

Well I've heard that The Witcher 3 was a big hit so thought I'd give the prequel a try, enjoyed it really, the game was amusing, the world was astonishing and truly made me feel like a part of it, great rpg game

Is there anybody out there who would deny it is the best of the SH series? Hm, I would say I am still waiting for the P.T. Silent Hill 2 is very atmospherically intensive. Any susceptible person should be aware of potential psychosis. Kids should play Gregory Horror show (which is a great game, at the time I am playing it). Probably first game that I want to pop in when I turn the PS2 on. Not daring to play though.

I don't want to get into [Fanboy/girl'ism], but. Halo was released on Xbox, I owed Playstation 2 and I've missed it. I remmember going to computerized game rooms and see people playing "Halo". It seemed futuristic and everyone was playing it! Now I know, it was a beginning of a very holy franchise for xbox. The one and most important, most shiny jewel in the collection of xbox games. I understood that by playing Halo 3 on Xbox 360. Wow, I it is so good that I almost wanna cry. Such attention to detail : music, multiplayer, map editor. The game is vast. It feels boundless. Cortana, is that you?

The game is good and is suited for splitscreen madness. Before you play, you should know what I' ve found :
The commentator is really annoying.
You start to hate your friends for winning over you.
The fastest cart is "Bonanza brothers".
Good luck and surely one of you wants to win.

I know where those Meh come from and I can tell you that if you play this game alone it's not that enjoyable as playing with girlfriend or buddy.

The game is a final resistance before playstation 2 takes over. (The game came out on 2003, PS2 release date : year 2000)

I've tried "Mirror's Edge" demo through xbox 360 and I was stunned. First time I've experienced first person freerunning game in such high detail and so awesome graphic style/design. I was fascinated and got hooked on the ever lasting action, atmosphere, story. I've finished the game in 10 hours though. Could have been longer, but as I think about it now. This game was "from the future".

Limbo is an adventure, platformer. Limbo is in black and white. I like playing Limbo when someone is watching, or play in the evening to calm myself. The game might also get you scared or frustrated a bit. Stay cautious!

A classical game with a strong potential for multiplayer experience. This game sparks up nostalgia by 25 percent. I guess one cannot rate a game which is older than him, or. Or it is almost perfect.

When I was young I've tried this game, it was devastating. Maybe I should've skipped it, it is too late now.
It is a thrilling and horrific game which will make you go literally insane. From the very first minutes of playing it was just that. I could not sleep after playing and I cried (I was 12 at the time). From the first music track until the end of the fight it has this atmosphere of mental disorder and shyzophrenia.
This game was a hit in computerized game rooms back in the days. I just wish I hadn't gone mad.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the humor and the art style is pretty, but I get the feeling many the Levels are not well designet. For example there are many parts where you have to chase an enemy throughout a level passage and of course you want to run through the level as fast as possible but the levels are so designet, that you have to go slower than you normally could in order to not fall in a pit or jump into the next enemy. The same problem occurs when you collect that collectible that doubles the amount of lums you get for a certain amount of time. So you run through the level in order to get the maximum value of it, but the level simply does not seem to be build for speeding. What makes this even less understandable is that there even is a motivator to beat a level under a certain time.What also stands out negatively is that the controls and hitboxes appear very inconsistent.
Literally the best game I've played in 5+ years. Couldn't stop playing.. I completed the game 100% within 20 hours. Tripped acid and swung around the city for at least 6 of those. 10/10, incredible gameplay.
One of the best games ever! So much to do and so much variety!
I fucked up with this game. I did NOT want this game to be spoiled for me at all and I was also very busy in the months of April and May, combining to make this a game that I really tried blasting through. I did no side missions, didn't explore the customization options even close to their fullest, and I came across maybe one Valkyrie that I don't even think I beat. Really looking forward to giving this game another go NG+ style some time next year. From what I DID play though, this is one of the best games of the generation, and hands down the best game of the year (sorry red dead ur too realistic not very fun). The way this game FEELS is incredible, it reminded me of my first time playing any of the Arkham games and quickly getting used to that new style of combat. God of War takes those mechanics, adds an axe, makes it deeper, and RUNS with it. The combat in this game is beyond satisfying, and the mid-game reveal of getting the hell-blades that ALSO control incredibly was just the cherry on top of the tastiest pie I've ever had. They even managed to make rowing a boat feel good and natural, which when accompanied by Mimir's voice acting and stories makes me wanna stay in the boat until I'm decaying. This game also manages it's difficulty so well, I played on normal difficulty and always felt like I was earning every kill. The boss fights are hard, the Valkyrie fight is insane (can't even imagine trying to fight the final one, nervous), and FUCK the werewolf guys. And god, the graphics... the graphics... 2018 really spoiled us with Spider-Man, Forza 4, Red Dead, and this. I couldn't believe my eyes, Sony please for the love of god make a PS4 Pro that's on par with the Xbox One X, or please make the PS5 as good as the Xbox 2 or whatever awful thing they name it, I need to see God of War in the best way possible. This is my game of the year and my game of the generation so far, I can't wait to play it again and hopefully get the platinum.
