Is it still worth playing?

An agave farmer is killed, wakes in the land of the dead and comes back as a masked wrestler to fight the skeleton who kidnapped his friend. This 2013 action platformer and brawler launched in April on PlayStation 3 and Vita, inspired by Mexican folklore and the Day of the Dead. Coins from defeated enemies buy skills at shops that double as checkpoints, and each move has a color that matches obstacles, so exploring means learning the right move. Other upgrades include turning into a chicken for tight corridors and crossing between the living world and the world of the dead. A second player can drop in as Tostada. Its color and humor still make it a lively platformer to pick up today.
