Gylt aims to do a few things, but does them right, without too much ambition. The story it tells is simple, progressing without major plot twists, yet it is enjoyable and touching at certain moments, thanks in part to the determination of the protagonist, who wants desperately to save Emily and make amends for past mistakes. A shallow gameplay experience, familiar game mechanics, and a difficulty level that skews too low partially detract from the overall experience, which remains extremely enjoyable for players who don’t have high expectations or simply want to relax and embark on a journey that is ultimately quite pleasant.
Studio MDHR once again demonstrates its mastery with a DLC that, though completable by seasoned players in a relatively short time, provides a compelling reason to return to the enchanting world of Cuphead. The Delicious Last Course embodies the very essence of what a DLC should be: it introduces fresh elements that subtly enhance the already stellar game formula, edging Cuphead even closer to perfection. Particularly notable is the inclusion of Miss Chalice, who brings a breath of fresh air, significantly boosting replayability and encouraging players to strive for their highest achievements.
I can say without a doubt that Cuphead leaves an indelible mark on gamers, particularly due to its distinctive style and combat system. Every game mechanic is meticulously crafted, giving players full freedom, although they must work hard to find the ideal equipment to reach the end credits. In my humble opinion, Cuphead is certainly one of the most successful indie games ever, but it does not achieve absolute excellence due to some excessively chaotic gameplay phases and a longevity that is sufficient but not exceptional.
