Cuphead

hard af and fun to keep playing and improving.

Lots of fun, but expect death, consistently.

Like the title says, I'm constantly furious when I play this game. 10/10 Best game I've played in a while.

Cuphead ImageIt's a fine enough game. I was hoping the developers would have put more emphasis on actual platforming. This game is more related to a shooter like Contra rather than a jump'n'run game. It consists mainly of Boss Fights, and the emphasis is on memorization of enemy patterns and basically trial & error. It's very old school, and by that I don't mean by design but how unforgiving and how little lives you have. I don't know if it's really for casual players, maybe for those who will find the art style entertaining enough to sustain them till the end. But if you strip the game down to it's bones, it's just a mediocre shooter with amazing visuals.

Just a warning for anyone who wants to play this game: This. Game. Is. HARD! It has made me rage more times than I can count (until I got fairly good at it), but I keep coming back for more. Why? Good graphics Super responsive controls Excellent music (I love ragtime!) Great art style Technically a boss rush (give or take a few levels) And most of all, the satisfaction that I get when I finally get past a level that had me really struggling. If you want to have a fun time, definitely pick this game up, but be prepared for a really hard slog! I only have one problem with the game, and that's the fact that I got it on Steam, but I can't get it at a discount here, which is essentially forcing me to pay double the price to play it offline. REALLY?!
