Original 2016 review below the dashed line.

The game has redeemed itself and has gone above and beyond in regards to the features missing at launch.

I recommend this now.

No Man's Sky is not inherently a bad game. It is, however, not what it was advertised to be. So many of the features that were shown and talked about are simply not in the game at all. Others have been dumbed down to the point where they almost don't have to exist.

The pricing is also a joke at the time of writing this - €60 for a game that isn't even finished. If this game was released as a €20 title with the "EARLY ACCESS"-label smacked on it, I probably wouldn't judge it as hard as I'm doing right now.

For now, avoid this game. If they fix all the problems and lower the price to a reasonable one for an indie-title it might be worth it for some people.

Guacamelee! is an action-platformer with a strong emphasis on combat. The fighting mechanics are easy to pick up right a way, but still deep enough to remain interesting. You'll need to use your special attacks to traverse the environment and the game merges combat and platforming very well. This combined with a dimension-switching mechanic makes for one hell of a platformer! The humour in the game was also spot on for me. With references to other games, movies and various internet memes scattered all over place.

I strongly recommend this game!

Brimming with imagination, this is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played! It is a maturely told fairytale that constantly manages to impress me with beautiful vistas.

A great game! Even though it's a bit short the atmosphere of the game makes up for it's shortcomings. If you like Max Payne and horror-games this is the perfect match!
