Juan the Mexican Luchador is back and this time the fate of the whole Mexicanverse is at stake. This game is basically a Metroidvania with a lot of platforming involved. I love the fighting in the game. It is just a two button combo but there are a lot of variety it in. The power button is use to unlock parts of the stages that are inaccessible yet. The best part of this game in my opinion is that the best part of it there is less backtracking needed. Everything is point out in the map of where you need to go and each new upgrade will just advance the gameplay right away. Then there is a the pollo or chicken. In the first game it was just a means to get to small to reach places but now the chicken itself is an integral part of the game. The chicken has it own set of powers and moves. The best part is the story. It doesn't take himself seriously and there is a lot of famous memes in the game that makes fun of the fact that this game is full of memes. 

There is a couple things I didn't like about this game as well. You'll end up dying a lot. There are some sections of the game that require you to memorize each different button press and of each on you get it wrong you will end up restarting the level again. Other than that this game is a great game. I manage to finish the game until the end credits. I give this game an A-rank. If you love the first one you will love the second one
