Recently, I decided to revisit some of my favorite indie games, and Cuphead was my first pick since there was also new content released.

Most bosses in this dlc completely surpass every single main game boss in quality, complexity and spectacle. Paterns are visually gorgeous, fun to learn and clearly telegraphed, making every hit you take your fault and not the game being unfair. This makes it so even though the game is difficult, it is never too frustrating.

Getting all achievements and S ranks made the game last just the right amount of time (around 15 hrs main game + dlc) therefore removing the only complaint I have with the dlc, it's short lenght. It also added an extra challenge which made this second playthrough almost as hard as my first.

The Delicious Last Coures confirms that the main game was not a fluke. As a result, studioMDHR is now part of the list of dev teams that I fully trust and will play any game they make in the future.
