Let me be clear: I went into Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition thinking I could just knock a quick game off my list, sure I wasn’t going to be particularly interested in it. It looked like a vaguely Mexican-themed Smash Brothers ripoff. What I got was a fun and (mostly) intuitive game about a man named Juan who gets killed by an evil skeleton on Dia de los Muertos, but is given a second chance by a mystical luchador mask. I look forward to playing far more of this – here’s to hoping the initial glow doesn’t wear thin. Tier One.
