Cuphead

You've seen the reviews and the Let's Plays, or maybe just the screenshots right here on the GOG page. You really don't need me to tell you the game is charming--you can see that for yourself! Why am I writing this then? Because if you are still deciding whether or not to buy this game, I would like to tell you why I think this is a game that everyone should play! The experience feels so fresh and new, while at the same time feeling so familiar. For the fresh and new, this game's presentation was lovingly crafted to feel like the old 1930's cartoons--from the hand-drawn animations to the painted backgrounds, all while an upbeat old-school jazz reminds you to stay positive no matter how tough life can be. Life certainly can be tough if you're in the world of Cuphead. There are no checkpoints in the levels, and you will die in 3 hits and there are no extra hit-point pickups to be found. It is NOT impossible, though! If you've ever played the 2D MegaMan games, you'll recognize the familiar feeling of memorizing boss patterns and watching for attack wind-up andimations. This game is certainly challenging, but if you're worried about it being too difficult to keep you from enjoying it, don't worry! Let me tell you that as a novice gamer, this game is more forgiving than you might expect given some of the reviews. You will find as I did that it will teach you how to better hone your skills along the way. When you die, you don't feel frustrated, you are only thinking about how to avoid your mistakes on your next try. Cuphead is one of the few games that has perfectly crafted graphics and gameplay. It's one of the few games that I can 100% recommend, without any caveats. I don't know what's next for StudioMDHR, but they have created a delightful masterpiece with Cuphead that will certainly stand the test of time!

Excelent game, perfect 2d animated old school, music perfect, difficulty like Dark souls but with plataform and ships shooter, just buy it :D, you cannot regret if yoy buy ut

very nice graphic, sound, control commands and coop mode, many levels (more bosses) make this game enjoyable.

As has been mentioned by so many reviews: amazing art, music, and boss variety. My problem is with the terrible double-jump "parry" button sequence. Parrying is ridiculously unreliable and does not match the rest of the tight controls.

Now this is how you do an indie game! Cuphead is a game that I was excited for ever since I saw a little clip from E3 2015. Now after playing it I am satisfied. As you may have noticed cuphead has a unique 1930s cartoon artstyle. The gameplay is split between boss rushes and platforming. The story is really simple like a cartoon from 1930s would be and does a good job making cuphead and mugman likable. This game is not really as difficult as people say, all you need to do is memorize movement patterns. The only con I feel the game has is that their is no animated cutscenes. This is supposed to be like a cartoon so why are the cutscenes presented like a story book? I fully recommend cuphead to anyone that wants a fun and challenging game.
