Download Guacamelee! Gold Edition Full Version For Free

More Guacamelee! is better Guacamelee! After a spectacular debut on PlayStation 3 and the Vita, the PC version of this excellent and colorful supernatural platformer piles it on with the Gold Edition, a package that bundles together the fantastic original game with the two DLC packs. It retains that amazing core platforming experience, playable on either a keyboard or a controller (but seriously, use a controller), while also addressing one of my few complaints about the PlayStation Network version in my original review: it left me wanting more.

Bashing ghostly enemies as Juan the undead luchador is so damn fun I wanted it to last longer – and The Devil’s Playground DLC in particular partially gives it a boost of an extra hour or two. Additionally, Guacamelee! Gold Edition includes a tool that allows for fully customizable character skins that you can create, with a little know-how. (Take a look at the trailer embedded above for more.) It’s a complicated endeavor, one that I couldn’t possibly replicate with any success, but it opens things up for those more intimately tuned-in with their artistic and technical sides can make all sorts of cool character skins in lieu of playing as Juan, and then share them with the rest of us.

The Verdict

Guacamelee isn’t only pretty to look at, it’s also a hell of a lot of fun to play. Its Metroidvania inspiration is strong, and yet it does so much to help it stand apart, not the least of which by providing us with a deceivingly deep combat system and a two-world polarity system that simply makes the experience more dynamic. It’s every bit as amazing on the PC as it is on its native PlayStation 3.
