In a new chapter for the series that looks far more emotional and narrative-driven than ever before, Kratos has to juggle severed heads and parenthood in a world where mythology is both brutal and fierce. A world where plenty of old gods and beasts still have a bone to pick with the legendary warrior, who now no longer wields the chains of Olympus but rather simpler and more visceral death-dealing tools.

There’s nothing in life that wrestling can’t solve. Grabbing a mask, suiting up in your finest luchador boots and tossing said problems from the top of a turnbuckle and onto the ring below? Magic stuff. Guacamelee knew this a couple of years ago when it first launched, giving players plenty of charm, style and pop-up powerbombs aplenty. Also, chickens.
