Game: Guacamelee!

In terms of getting me excited about a game, the phrase "A Metroidvania style action-platformer set in a magical Mexican inspired world" is always going to do the job. I do love my Metroid-style games, and enjoy exploring the twists that modern titles put on the original formula. Guacamelee is the most Metroid-like game I've played in quite some time - sure, it has its own little neat ideas packed in, but for the most part, it's heavily inspired by the Nintendo classic. That's far from a bad thing, mind you, as there's so much style and finesse lavished across this adventure.
