I am a cuphead fr

This game is pretty damn excellent, it's got one of the greatest art styles you'll ever see in a video game and some very well-crafted boss-fights, I recommend this for anyone well-versed in 2D platformers.

Truthfully this stuff is not as hard as people say, sure there were some difficult and annoying bosses, but it's all manageable and easy to figure out. With pretty basic pattern recognition and some quickness you'll be able to beat it.

Now, the reason for this being a 4 star is that the run & gun levels are honestly just not that good! They lack flow, feel tedious, and aren't satisfying to beat the same way a boss fight is. Enemy placement is also random which is lame. Personally, I would've just had solely boss fights than these filler levels, cause they just aren't that fun!

As for the Boss fights, some got on my nerves but the only one that really annoyed me was the Dicehead guy right before you fight the Devil. It's like they tried to design the most time-wasting boss imaginable, just more repetitive than anything because you have to go through a gauntlet over and over and over, this repetition reminds me of some NES games, but it's simply not my bag baby yeah.

Abilities are also kinda off, I literally just stuck with the same handful of abilities I got at the beginning of the game because nothing else in the store was better, just unsure what the design idea was there.

Other than these three complaints though, this is a very very good platformer, with beautiful art, tight controls, and engaging fights, Cuphead is an easy recommendation, and hopefully so is the DLC, we shall see soon.
