Guacamelee vs Axiom Verge

[Kotaro]

Haven't played Axiom Verge, but I did enjoy Guacamelee! a lot. It does mix a lot of fist fighting, which may or may not be your thing, but the move set is well thought out, with most moves doubling as ways to get around, not just more ways to kill monsters.

Well, I do like scrolling beat em ups like Streets of Rage and fighting tournaments like Street Fighter, so if it's fist fighting like that I'm onboard. Wouldn't have expected that to be the main focus of a Metroidvania though...

Guacamelee is sort of a Metroidvania/brawler hybrid. It works pretty well.
