This game was probably the hardest game I have ever played and I'm so glad my suffering is over. Yet, the gameplay never felt unfair or impossible as the sight of cuphead running to the flag after a defeat was indicative of how you were merely 10% away from completion, making the final blow that ever more rewarding. Also, the shear artistic masterpiece this game is in retrospect is phenomenal, just imagining that someone hand-drew every single one of those frames with stunning backdrops is insane to me.
being the tenacious guy that i am, playing cuphead was already right up my alley. this beautiful game knows what it is, and thus, gives you all the tools necessary to overcome it. while it might not be for everybody, you at least have to admit the game looks very nice, and that was the biggest reason it took so long to release. i admire the hard work and dedication that the developers of this game put in to ensure this game would be fun from any angle you look. hand-drawn graphics, painted backgrounds, orchestrated tunes, this game truly is the whole dang package when it comes to presentation.
though, at times, i find myself not appreciating it as much as a should. it was probably what they were going for, but the story of the game itself doesn't have too much depth. the game's plot feels more like the plot of a singular episode rather than an entire series, which is strange given that all the levels of the game itself feel like their own episodes with unexplained backstories... but, if the game were to add more supplementary content, it probably would've never been released. i can't be too hard on the game for that, its a miracle a game like this exists in the first place. well done!

this game made me want to eat rocks but Jesus Christ the art is insane. All hand-drawn? Were they crazy? It looks amazing though. I'm very bad at it but I still managed to beat it :D it’s definitely challenging to an enraging degree but that just makes victory that much better. Genuinely I’d say it’s a really good amount of difficulty. Wish I cld play the dlc
