Cuphead is a masterpiece in its art and sound design, however for its difficulty level, it is truly “a deal with the Devil”. There is no other way to beat this game except mastering your skills and wishing for the luck to stay by your side. It is a game t...
Stunning cartoon-like visuals, Tight, accurate, and straightforward controls, Highly demanding, multi-stage boss fights, Part of Microsoft's Play Anywhere initiative
Disappointing shortage of run-and-gun stages, superfluous and gimmicky parry mechanic, Relatively short

Some of the most amazing art design ever seen in a game, Truly imaginative bosses, Great coop, Lovely music
Some mechanics are a little fiddly, Only really one way to play
The animation alone is nearly worth the price of admission, but if you want imaginative bosses to fight as well, you're in luck with Cuphead. Just make sure you're prepared to die - a lot...
Abstract: Playing Cuphead has made me want to seek out and watch a bunch of the 1930s cartoons from which it draws inspiration, but in the mean time, here's a real cool semi-related thing: YouTube user Lazy Game Reviews has hooked the game up to display on a monoch...
