StickSkills said, "There just arent enough Metroidvania games inspired by spicy Mexican folklore on the market. Average 2D platformers that brandish vivid art styles and free exploration are a dime a dozen, but how often do we see one that slaps a colorful lucador mask over the heros face? Toronto-based developer DrinkBox Studios does just that with its PSN-exclusive title Guacamelee. But its not just this one aesthetic flair that makes the game a success. Instead, the quest of the valiant Juan Aguacate is worth experiencing because it never stops being fun. Guacamelee doesnt innovate with its beat-em-up nature and emphasis on backtracking to discover new secrets, but its wacky tone and unique setting give it a flavor all its own."
