Best Multiplayer and Co-Op Games of December 2018
Guacamelee! 2 (Switch)
Sequel to the extremely popular title that released originally for PS3 and PS Vita back in April 2013, Guacamelee! 2 takes you back to the Mexiverse in a platforming, Metroidvania-style adventure with the original luchador protagonist, Juan Aguacate.
Even though you have the option to play the entire game by yourself, two to four-player co-op is also available at any point in the game. You can simply drop in and out at anytime, but only local co-op is supported with no online functionality.
Guacamelee! 2 already released for PC and PS4 back in August 2018, but last month it also made it’s way onto Switch on Dec. 10 right after the release of the “Proving Grounds” DLC on Dec. 7 wherein you can fight your way through challenge levels with the help from five different trainers.
After you beat each trainer’s section, you will unlock their skin that grants new abilities, with the final super-secret skin unlocking at level 15.
The game is also set to release onto Xbox One and PC as a Play Anywhere Title on Jan. 18. Guacamelee! 2 will support cross-saves between these two platforms only.
