Last night I had the best gaming session in a long time. I decided to give flame face another try and before I knew it I was playing Guacamelee for another 3 hours. It's not just exploration, humor or style, mastering the gameplay is a huge part of it. Platforming challenges that seem impossible become second nature, fights that kick your ass at first become possible and later a piece of cake. (But damn that game uses a lot of buttons)
The night before I finished Thomas was alone. Also a great game, not all that challenging, but it still makes you feel clever figuring out the levels, and it has a lot of personality. (Commentary was great too, more games should add that for a second playthrough)
Yes platformers are great, they make you feel good, in control.
