Cuphead Reviews
Cuphead is an excellent game and a must for any type of player. It may be considered difficult at first, but mastering it will become challenging in the right way – especially in the search for the platinum trophy. The graphics are incredibly beautiful with their retro animations and the songs are awesome too. The biggest downside is the boss battles with the airplane. The gameplay in these parts, personally, is not as fun as the platform ones. An online cooperative would be great too, because offline is very fun.

Cuphead is extremely fun, extraordinarily addictive and insanely beautiful. On one side it's a classic action platform from the 80s and on the other side, it's a Disney cartoon back in the 30s. No matter what type of game you like, you must play Cuphead.

Cuphead can easily be called the most unique and solitary game of the year. From the very beginning of the game, you fall in love with its unique design style and coloring. The combination of the gameplay and the music tracks are so strong that even if you play it for hours you don’t get tired of Cuphead and it seems that you can’t get enough of it. The details in this game are magnificent and they totally worth the long wait for the game. By paying 1/3 of the price of an AAA game, Cuphead gives you a more fun and delightful experience and it can keep you entertained for hours. Then what are you waiting for? Grab your controllers and invite a friend. Cuphead is one of those game that you just have to play!

Fun and nerve racking; suffocating yet riveting. If you can hold off on eating your gamepad thanks to the difficulty, you will enjoy this a lot.

Although I speak very highly of Cuphead, I do think the game can be a little too unforgiving in enemy attack patterns and their ability to hit from offscreen without much warning. Regardless, the game's tight controls, fun boss fights, and pleasing aesthetic make it a must have.
Cuphead faced real risk of being stuck in development limbo, but after seven years it emerged as one of the most visually impressive and addictive boss battle platformers. Extremely good and captivating gameplay wrapped up in gorgeous 30's cartoons-styled visuals – you just can't resist this combo.

It may not be the deepest experience around, but in terms of pure gameplay quality, Cuphead is a must-play for those seeking a challenge thanks to excellent controls and a unique visual presentation.
The long wait for Cuphead was really worth it. Its great graphics and fantastic soundtrack are fully reminiscent of early 20th century animations and especially Disney & Max Fleischer cartoons. The gameplay, while being hard & not pulling any punches, is very satisfying and its few problems do not diminish its total value.

Aesthetics aside, there really aren't any games like Cuphead being made anymore. This kind of running and shooting platforming action game has nigh vanished from the gaming landscape. The closest modern example that casual observers may be aware of is maybe Metal Slug or the Mega Man games, because nobody has seen Contra since 2007. This used to be a popular genre, with such amazing titles as Turrican, Gunstar Heroes and Dynamite Headdy, which used to tap into a very primal part of our brain that is addicted to adrenaline. Thankfully, Cuphead is not style over substance. Controls are tight and responsive, and retries load up nice and fast, so time is never wasted. This is every great boss battle gaming has seen before and more, thanks to Studio MDHR's dazzling creativity and focus on creating a palpable sensation of accomplishment. There may not be many console exclusives on Xbox One these days, but Cuphead is a real standout, and is a must-own for everyone who loves fast action and crushing challenge. Come for the cool art and animation, but stay for the gameplay.
If you want a great platform game with beautiful graphics and amazing atmosphere that will make you fight different perfectly designed bosses during it's gameplay, Cuphead is a game that you shouldn't miss.

Nothing revolutionary in the Platformer genre here. However, the true challenge lies in the difficulty Cuphead has in addition to its one of a kind classical art direction that is very nostalgic.

Cuphead is a true masterpiece that every serious gamer should at least try. It's the most stylish and unique 2D action game since Viewtiful Joe.
Every detail in Cuphead speaks of the love its creators have for perfectionism, from the beautiful visuals to the refined gameplay mechanics. The commitment of Studio MDHR goes beyond a tribute to classic 30s cartoons, it pays homage to the best platforming in videogames and feeds the hunger of those who pursue a genuine challenge.

Cuphead is a phenomenal game plain and simple. It keeps players on their toes with excruciating boss battles, has one of the most unique art styles in all of game history, and one of the catchiest musical scores. Sadly the game won't be for everyone, a lot of people will not take the game's difficulty too serious and it will have them swearing, throwing their controllers, or even worse – recommending to others to skip the game.
Technically accomplished, with tight gameplay and imaginative bosses. The game transports you to a world of 30s cartoons with a dose of challenging gameplay to truly test your mettle. An amazing experience not to be missed, although one that might not appeal to those with little patience.

Cuphead's visuals will draw in everyone and their grandmother, but its difficulty will grind them to cup-dust.
Cuphead will draw you in with its undeniable allure, but whether it will keep you hooked depends on your tolerance to the trial-and-error design philosophy. There's a cruel game hidden beneath the charming aesthetic, one that is equally rewarding upon triumph.
Cuphead is a brilliant little game that is unique right down to its core, with a (mostly) welcomed challenge and beautiful aesthetics.
With some of the best designed boss fights this generation, a beautifully rich animation style, and impeccably fine-tuned controls, Cuphead stands out as not only one of the best indie titles on the Nintendo Switch, but one of strongest releases this generation, period
