It’s actually just as much a survival game as it is a platformer, and it does a great job of making you feel small and helpless in an imposing and frightening world.

It all gives the game this wonderful energy that seems to make everything twice as engaging. The Lucha’s, the folklore, the day of the dead. It’s like one massive celebration of Mexican culture.
