Juan is just a typical Mexican agave farmer. He spends his days toiling in the fields making an honest living. Thrust into the role of the hero when the evil Carlos Calaca kidnaps “El Presidente’s Daughter”, Juan vows to save his childhood beau. The initial rescue attempt does not go well, with Calaca quickly dispatching the would-be rescuer. Cast into the land of the dead, Juan is bestowed a mystical lucha libre mask, endowing him with profound wrestling abilities. With his new powers, Juan sets off after Calaca and his cohorts, hoping to thwart their diabolical master plan to merge both the living and dead worlds. Thus begins Guacamelee, Drinkbox Studio’s foray into the 2D side scrolling action genre which both iterates and innovates in equal measure.
The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.
No mention of Astrobot on the VR, one of the best platform titles Sony have put out
Guacamelee is an amazing Metroidvania series with a fun story and beautiful graphics. Check out Jason's Nindie Spotlight on this gem that highlights its unique art style and fantastic boss fights..

Hollow Knight is really good. GreenPath was my favorite area of the game.
Guacamelee 1 was also good. I got to check out G2.
In my opinion Guacamelle 2 is even better than first..hopefully we will get third game
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.
