El Gancho is a funny little game, it sounds like a simple platformer that runs and jumps around worlds collecting your friends, in truth that is what it is except you have a grappling hook! With this, you can traverse the level in unique ways and dare I say creative ways! Add in the limited ammo mechanic and you have a fast-paced platformer with an almost puzzle element to proceedings. The controls are all on the top shoulder buttons that it less than ideal and aiming is twin-stick that again is fine but less than ideal as it is very floaty and over sensitive. Every run you go on will be randomized and consist of bonus rooms and boss battles. El Gancho is a game that will take time to learn, the controls will let you down in the most inconvenient positions and boss fights take ages to learn but that said, it’s a game I poured a lot of time in, I wanted to get better I loved the way you move around the world, the gameplay loop was not only solid but also entertaining and satisfying. Whilst it won’t set the world on fire, El Gancho is a game that delights and frustrates in equal measures but the idea is solid.

El Gancho is een geinige game voor tussendoor. Het is makkelijk op te pakken en potjes duren niet al te lang. Het mist alleen body om voor langere tijd interessant te blijven. Het geen leaderboard hebben vind ik ook een groot gemis want dit had net wat meer uitdaging aan de game kunnen geven.
