Guacamelee vs Axiom Verge

[zelda2fanboy]

Axiom Verge by far. I loved the music and loved the graphics. Guacamelee felt too simplistic and I got bored and never finished it. Axiom Verge was a descent into 8 bit nightmare land with surreal imagery I'll never forget.

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.
