I didn’t think I was going to like Guacamelee 2.
For starters, I can’t spell it. Each time I try, my fingers fumble to type the letters in the correct order, that final double-e almost inevitably becoming a double-l. It’s an irrational grudge to hold, granted, but we’re friends here, right? So I’m hoping you won’t hold it against me.
Then I was adamant the Day-Glo colours and outrageously jolly soundtrack would grate on my nerves. It happens a lot, and it probably won’t surprise you to hear my tolerance dips in direct correlation with games that require more dexterity than my preferred just-point-a-gun-in-this-direction-and-shoot style of play. I know I can only put up with a cheery score for so long, and Guacamelee 2 seemingly has the most aggressively cheery music of them all.
