Cuphead is one of those unique games where the difficulty is high , but so is the fun. Its cozy atmosphere, paired with exceptional jazz-inspired music design, creates an immersive and unforgettable experience. The hand-drawn visuals and fast-paced gameplay make it truly stand out. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it, even though the controls felt a bit unusual to me (still easier to complete than Hollow Knight). The experience was especially rewarding thanks to the incredible atmosphere and the brilliantly designed bosses . This game is perfect for anyone seeking a challenging yet satisfying experience without frustration. Great piece of game art.

This was actually the first game I purchased on my Steam account, and it took me a couple of months to complete and achieve 100% completion. It's a real challenge, but once you grasp the mechanics, master attack patterns, and find a loadout that suits your playstyle, defeating even the toughest bosses becomes much more manageable. The learning curve is steep, but immensely rewarding. With each victory, there's a sense of accomplishment that keeps you coming back for more. This game truly tests your skills and perseverance, making it a memorable experience from start to finish.

A good day for a swell battle! Cuphead is a near-perfect game, but CAUTION! it's clearly not for everyone: at the time of writing, only 16.2% of players had completed the game (without DLC). Given that the game can be completed in almost 10 hours, it's the difficulty of the game that will prevent you from finishing it. What I liked about it: - An insane ost and art direction that's quite rare in video games, it's so refreshing!!! - Calibrated gameplay, plenty of content - Perfect lifespan for this kind of game, and if you want more, the S ranks are there! - The feeling of triumph when you've beaten a boss you've stuck on. Negative points, but quickly forgettable: - Some scenes are visually overloaded, which can make the action unreadable, but with practice it's fine. - The RNG on certain patterns seems strange from time to time (damn cloud on the dragon!). - The game crashed only once in 14 hours In short, are you the niche gamer that cuphead is targeting? Put your ego aside because if you don't, it's 20€ in the trash. If you are, this is a delight! KNOCKOUT!
