I finished Ultra Despair Girls... And I'm kinda devastated right now. But not because of the game's griping ending or anything like that. Right now. I'm pretty terrified V3 won't deliver any satisfying paybacks.
I know it's very irrational to think there isn't gonna be anymore danganronpa after V3, to think the story is gonna be left up in the air. Especially with how successful every release of the franchise is.
I don't know. I just feel kinda, hollow.
The takeway? Maybe don't become a Danganronpa fan

Gorgeous artstyle. Lovingly crafted atmospheric pieces. Some truly horrific imagery even comes from the small text blurbs every collectable has. Then there's the mediocre gameplay with way worse level design. A major bummer. I want to love Blasphomous. But between combat being repetative, lackluster and unimpactfull, and map traversal being obnoxiously sluggish, with loads of backtracking. I. Just. Can't. I'll just continue to enjoy it on a purely aestestic level.

Studio MDHR just casually animating the best looking boss ever made.
I'm glad they didn't add any 'run and gun' segments to the forth island. Was fun the first time through those levels, after that it was kind of a slog. I'm not sure the secret boss was executed optimally. The gimmick is awkward and feels half cooked. Like it doesn't really fit in something like Cuphead. Also only a single phase? I guess it would have been a bit unmanageable on top of the already wack mechanic. Besides that boss, a truly magnificent swan song for Cuphead.
If Chad and Jared decide to take an indefinitely long vacation after this, they are completely justified in doing so.

A great tribute to the LCD games of yore. Neat locales with lots of soothing earthy tones, you rarely see steppes(?) in games i feel. And that singular gameplay track is bumpin' and just enhances the already warm summer vibes. The mc, Snippy, shows a surprising amount of personality with so little: Her swaying and stumbling when shifting around the garden is snappy and determined while also occasionally showing her goofy side. She's got a cute cheery voice that straddles the line of being obnoxious. The game is exhilarating! Towards the tail end it might become a bit too frantic though, and it does. A few more trials would probably have resulted in making the game feel more worth and lessened the relatively steep difficulty curve, however for the price of admission, this is fantastic!
