is cuphead good?

Cuphead is good. Why? Well, one could say this about many different types of games, possibly for the characters, story, emotional attachment, and the list goes on. However, Cuphead is not a game where I can pinpoint any of those elements and say it excelled in that specific area at all. What Cuphead does that makes it a masterful and incredibly made game is immerse you into an environment unlike any other video game I have ever played before, which consists of fantasy, craziness, and a huge old school feel. The game seems simple on the surface: Cuphead and Mugman go out gambling, they make a bet with the devil, they lose the bet (which costs them their souls), and so they set out on a journey to collect soul contracts so the devil will spare them. Throughout all of this, Cuphead and Mugman use their powers to battle bosses and run through levels, and they then have to defeat the Devil at the end. Seems like a basic fantasy game plot, right? Well, words can't even describe the experience that Cuphead will give you. You can't just explain the story to someone and call it a day; this game is so much more than that. With elements of action, adventure, and 2D platforming, Cuphead is a widely interesting and cutting-edge game from start to finish. Yes, there are mainly just boss fights throughout its entirely, but it always brings something new to the table. The game developers were so creative in making each and every boss fight that it is genuienly mind blowing. I could not believe how good this game was, mainly because of the insanely entertaining gameplay, but on top of that, all the design choices of each boss and level were beyond excellent. In addition to this, they made the difficulty of each boss and level relatively hard to beat, but not too hard to the point where you would want to just stop playing all together. Again, I was always invested, and never EVER wanted to stop playing until I beat boss after boss after boss.
