Cuphead Reviews
There is a game worth enjoying in here, if you can deal with periodic frustration. During encounters that are fully defined it's easy to get stuck admiring everything that StudioMDHR has created, and it was more than a good enough reason to turn my Xbox One on. It's because of those parts that are so good that it's really difficult to ignore the glaring issues.
It's not reinventing the wheel, but underneath Cupheads's gleeful and gorgeous cartoonish exterior lies an addictive and fierce adventure delivering a level of challenge that, much like the game's gambling Devil, convinces you to have another roll of the dice and see how far you can make it.
A stunning visual feast that belies an intense level of difficulty. Cuphead won't be for everyone, but it's still a very good game.
If you're up for a challenge and a feast for the eyes and ears, Cuphead should not be overlooked.
beautiful and hard as hell, but as rewarding as you should imagine. Cuphead is one of the best indie games on 2017 and if you love run-n-gun games you shall not miss it.

Ultimately the game provides too much nostalgic satisfaction for me to be upset by its conventions, no matter how punishing or familiar they may be. Style may not always offer substance, but in the case of Cuphead, I'm satisfied.
Cuphead has looked like something unlike anything else on the market since it was first unveiled. While it took awhile to get it, it has certainly delivered in both gameplay and visual style, proving that there is still plenty of life in this genre on a larger scale. If you enjoy platformers and don’t mind a steep difficulty curve, do yourself a favor and give Cuphead a try.
An exquisite work of craftmanship in almost every aspect. You will recover the faith in classic gameplay. Be carefoul, tough, it's not a game for the less patient.

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.
StudioMDHR transports players back into a 1930s cartoon with Cuphead, A stunning yet difficult title.
Cuphead combines challenging and unforgiving gameplay with the over the top animations of the 1930's in this fun adventure. While difficult at times, the sense of reward that you'll get after each fight will have you continually coming back for more.
Some of the mechanics and gameplay tropes will be familiar to anyone who has played modern indie platformers, but the unique quirks presented here are among the best in recent memory.
Cuphead is one of the most innovative and interesting games to come out of the indie space in the past few years. It was well worth the wait and will please anyone who likes a good challenge.
Cuphead will be too tough for some players, and you'd have to look to the likes of Nioh or Dark Souls to find something as brutal and unforgiving. It's going to take some serious skill and experience to beat those bosses, but Cuphead keeps on bringing you back for more until you do.
Beneath Cuphead's staggeringly wild aesthetic lurks the steel-hard, unforgiving soul of a run-n-gun shooter.
Cuphead has an amazing and incredible art style that's not jus breathtaking, but also a gameplay that's going to test your skills. Even though some may find it beyond its skill's reach, if you're looking for a challenge this is exactly the game you should pick.

One of the most visually stunning games of the year – hand-animated by a pair of Saskatchewan brothers – is also one of the toughest
Cuphead is hard as hell, and gorgeous looking. A fantastic platformer, that reminds us of just how good this genre was back in the days.

If you love those old-school games that rewards practice and patience through trial and error, Cuphead will likely delight. Yes, Cuphead is brutal and death is a regular occurrence, but it packs in that old-schoool arcade ethos that makes you want to keep trying.
With a gorgeous look and some surprisingly taxing boss battles, Cuphead stylishly combines adorableness and adversity in equal measure, difficult enough to take multiple attempts while fun enough to warrant the repeated efforts. Take a look if you enjoy challenging and unusual titles.
