At times, it felt like Cuphead was in development cycle. After it was originally showed off at E3 a few years back, we kept getting little glimpses of the game, but it didn't really have a massive marketing cycle behind it. It has been proven that it doesn't matter. Cuphead has sold over a million copies already, and won't stop any time soon. The game definitely lives up to the hype. I had a lot of fun with this game. It can be incredibly frustrating at times, but the reward is worth it. When you hear the announcer say "knockout!" it is one of the most satisfying moments in gaming right now. My only issue with the game is the run and gun levels, and I wish the game rewarded you with coins for beating bosses. That is honestly my only issue with the game. Outside of the, it is so wonderfully crafted. I haven't even touched on art in the game! You can tell that every aspect of the visuals, and the audio, was created with so much care. Each character has so much personality, even the spectators in the background of boss battles. I can't recommend this game enough. Just realize that it is a hard game, but very rewarding. Remember, don't make a deal with the devil!
