Fun game. The fight are good and fun.

This game is pretty outstanding as far as sequels go. It takes just about everything from the original, expands upon it, and adds more to look forward to. The writing is humorous, the premise is wacky but with tangible stakes, and the gameplay is satisfying. The combat, which similar to the original, feels fresh due to the new skill tree. There's a lot more chicken shenanigans this time. Instead of being used for simple traversal, Pollo Power is now both fleshed out with a combat system AND is plot relevant. The Chicken Illuminati is always watching...
The platforming this time provides even more of a real challenge, even in some of the mandatory sections. I will agree with some of the negative reviews that there is a bit too much lava and few too many "death" as opposed to "teleport-back-to-footing" hazards this time around, but it didn't bother me too much except for when it was intended to. Those Golden Eggs are elusive!

The biggest difference I can say is that the Hard mode this time is ACTUALLY hard. The "Lucha" combat rooms, of which there are many, are packed with higher tier enemies and the platforming is made more challenging in some areas. Those going for 100% completion would benefit from unlocking any challenge achievements or costumes in Normal mode.

Here's hoping we get to return to the Mexiverse in Guacamelee 3!
