Is it still worth playing?

DrinkBox Studios' 2018 platformer for PS4 and PC, in which the luchador Juan Aguacate has to save the Mexiverse from a corrupted luchador called Salvador. Juan fights with punches, kicks and grapples, and his special moves are color coded, serving both as attacks and as ways of getting around. Some enemies are opened up by the move of the matching color. He can also turn into a chicken with moves of its own, including a diagonal dash that bounces off surfaces, and he can swap between two dimensions to change the world around him. Up to four people can play together, and the demanding jumping challenges are mostly optional. Combat and platforming share the same moves, so exploring and fighting still feel like one thing today.
