Cuphead has been a massive long time coming But, finally arrived for XBox One and The PC I'm not going to over sell this game to anyone It is absolutely a amazing accomplishment in where gaming has gone since the days of the seedy arcades and Atari 2600 But, It does have a elephant size negative against it
Graphics Flawless there is nothing and i mean nothing like this that's been out there (Besides the handful of Laserdisc arcade title from the 80's) More games need to be like this it's pure Art in motion The animation is a sight to see Audio: much like the art style is frozen in the 1930's this too is a sight to hear The art style and audio presentation make this game feel old but, at the same time it's also refreshing and new The Story is better then i would've ever guessed Not even going to spoil it while it's nothing life changing it's very slick and works for this time period it's set in The only real negative (The difficulty is over the top brutal) If you have young kids save your money buy Raymen, Yooka-Laylee, or even Ori and The Blind Forest This game will make any kid cry...... or break a expensive controller The game is too "hard" I'm not sure why the developers didn't even add a difficulty option I've played some brutal games growing up but, this is on a whole new level of being hard for the sake of being hard This is going to turn a lot of gamers off and if you plan on going all in (pick up a glass make a swear jar) you'll going to need the money in the jar after you break your controller from anger or just the massive abuse the controller takes) No matter what if and when you finish the game you're controller will be bruised and beaten much like you
If you want a relentless challenge you'll dig this game If you are unsure try and play the demo to get a feel for what's in store for you If the game wasn't so stacked against the player I'd give the game a 10/10 But, it's to hard as a kid i loved Ghost and Goblins and Ghouls and Ghosts (Beat both games) this is harder then Ghost and Goblins in my opinion so it gets a 9/10
