Game of the week: Guacamelee!
Guacamelee!
Drinkbox Studios, PS3/PSVita, £9.99
The bold, boxy art style is particularly appealing. The whole game looks fabulous and plays pretty sharply. And if you are after that dexterity workout, it’s got some fiendish platforming: there’s no room for error, with some sections requiring a healthy dose of luck to survive unscathed. This can get frustrating at times. Fittingly for a game based around luchadores, the combat boasts a plethora of grappling moves to master. Add in the ability to leap between the worlds of the living and the dead and you have a great balance between puzzling, action and well-timed jumps.
