There’s
an on-going debate amongst video game critics about whether or not games need
to be fun. It’s my opinion that they don’t. There are plenty of games that I
didn’t find fun, but that I found worthwhile for other reasons, Spec Ops: The Line, for example.
Drinkbox Studios’ Guacamelee!, however,
aims to be nothing but fun – unashamedly so, and its singular dedication to
this goal is difficult to fault.
