The action gets underway quickly when Juan, who narrowly escapes death. He is taken to the Underworld, and escapes, becoming a super-powered Luchador that is the savior of a small town in Mexico. Comparisons can be made to the hybrid genre, “Metroidvania” as this game very much is. You’ll traverse an open-world, wall jump, transform, collect new powers, and even go between planes of the living and dead."

Chirag Pattni discusses some of the best Metroidvania titles to be released this generation.
Hollow Knight is really good. GreenPath was my favorite area of the game.
Guacamelee 1 was also good. I got to check out G2.
I highly recommend TimeSpinner. It's on everything now but I played and platinum'd it on PS4. Excellent classic style MV with a cool 'time' element and hidden secrets, bosses, multiple ending/outcomes, etc. 9/10 from me.
Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack was a 10/10 for me and Guacamelee! is a lot better. It's my new favorite PSN game of all time. Next I'm going to play Drinkbox's first game, About a Blob. Guacamelee is a must play for everyone with a PS3 or Vita.
I own the game and I love it. The combat system is deeper than it looks. I can't wait for their next game!
