The game is ridiculously hard and it's a mistake

[Dmitry]

Seriously, the devs probably thought their core audience wants to play an insanely challenging game like IWBTG, Cat Mario or Boshy, in other words, troll masochistic games, no other explanation I find on this insanely hard and frustrating level design. I do have skills, I played both of two first Guacamelees, finished them, got 100% on one of them and it was fun both times. The sequel is not fun. It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t frustrating game heading into wrong direction. Let the percentage of positive reviews do not fool you, devs, most of them are written in 1-2 hours of gameplay and usually they do not play any further, so they do not know what awaits them ahead. You've made a bad game, devs. I wanted a good metroidavania that requares skill, not some Flappy Bird inspired pack of finger-breaking encounters, that needs boring training, literally learning by heart of sequences with no chance of improvisation, like in bad Japan games, dozens of tries, broken nerves.

I don't understand, this game was so easy

I guess some optional platforming is a bit finicky, but that's why it's optional

Like folks said, this game is not that hard, especially the combat and even on hard mode. I'd imagine many folks don't discover neat tricks like how OP the headbutt move is. So it's likely the usual case of folks not experimenting and the game being difficult as a result.

The platforming is the part that could be considered hard but even the bulk of the hardest stuff is optional so it's not needed to advance.

Biggest problem is the backtraking, unaccetable in a modern game.

This game is a metroidvania, where backtracking after progressing further in the story it's entire point. The hell are you talking about?

You have to walk half level to arrive in the point you need, any anther metroidvania has teleport points.

While it does suck at that ability, at least you can easily ignore all the enemies on your way by simply dashing through them, causing no hp loss by that bactrack.
