    This game is artistically incredible.
    It takes its art direction from the old '20s Disney cartoons. Everything is beautiful and incredibly well animated. Drawings, colors, effects... everything is perfect. Music is fantastic too. It's a pleasure to behold.

    Controls are thight and responsive (playing with keyboard) and, while the game is VERY hard, it never gets frustrating.

    Absolutely fantastic game.    … Expand

You loose a bunch of times against the enemy until you figure the pattern out, beat it and then move on to the next one. In between you sometimes get an average platforming level. It's quite grindy and quickly becomes pointless and boring. The world also feels lifeless, as everything is static and there's no real story or characters introduced.    … Expand

    Almost everything about this game was said already, not going to repeat that.

    The MAIN ISSUE with this game: - It is meant to be trial and error. Grinding, grinding, grinding, endless grinding until you know any level and any hard situation completely from memory. - It is mostly not "hard", it is unfair.

    The MAIN ISSUE with this game:

    - It is meant to be trial and error. Grinding, grinding, grinding, endless grinding until you know any level and any hard situation completely from memory.
    - It is mostly not "hard", it is unfair. That's a huge difference from fair games like Dark Souls. There is a lot of randomness in the patterns of enemies and projectiles. This goes so much against any notion of "skill-based". There is a HUGE difference between tough but ultimately doable, and sheer retrying to catch a lucky break and get a "doable" enemy pattern.
    - The collision detection is unforgiving to the point of unfairness. When you are unsure if something will hit you, when you might say "that will slightly miss", the game is sure - It will hit. Everything coming close is a hit. And everything is trying to get close all at once. Pair that with 3 hit points and stages taking 5 minutes to complete and you get a game where the main difficulty is lack of mobility coupled with randomness that creates undodgable situations ALL.THE.TIME.    … Expand

    but... but it's too hard. I like a challenge, but it's too much. there are 2 difficulty settings, but even in simple the game is unforginving and frustrating, and also in "simple" mode you don't earn contracts items from the bosses, forcing you to play "hard" if you want to really complete the game. also, the "run and gun" levels are extremely hard, they're not very interesting to play (level design is very bland and unimaginative) and you can't change the difficulty settings for them.
    I really wish this was a "Mario" game with this artistical direction. a classic platform with this artistical direction and Mario's attention to detail and level design would have been a masterpiece for the ages. let's hope in a cuphead 2 for that.

    again, artistically is incredible, but it's not fun to play.    … Expand

I found myself going back to this game even through all the raging and countless hours spent on that dastardly Bee Boss, I simply loved my experience with this game, The soundtracks and small attention to detail in sound was another thing that made this game thoroughly enjoyable, and although annoying at times I did love this part of the game. Moreover something that kept bringing me back to trying to defeat a boss over and over is the fact that you never feel it's the games fault if you die, it's always something you do that causes you to be unable to climb the final hurdle which a lot of games completely fail to do. Overall I'd say this game is a must have for any type of gamer, a smooth fps and little to no bugs, your experience with this game, although infuriating, will be fantastic.… Expand

    Cuphead is a good game and worth playing but, although your experience may differ, it left me wanting.

    Before continuing, please take note that, unlike many, my philosophy is to review the product, not the manufacturing process. No one gets a handicap because they drew every frame by hand or spent 7 years in development. Those things bring about a certain respect for the developers (who made those decisions on their own volition), but it has no bearing on the in-game experience whatsoever. Alright, now that the Cuphead bandwagon crowd hates me...

    The boss battles, being the bulk of the game, are definitely well above average for the genre. They are challenging enough to keep you engaged but not so challenging that you'll want to stop playing altogether. That said, the game will test your patience. Be prepared to suffer multiple deaths in most battles (unless you use some sort of guide) as the player must learn their opponent's attacks in order to react to them properly. The best aspect of the boss battles is the way the battle progresses as you deal more and more damage to your opponent. This progression alone makes the experience worthwhile.

    Here's where things are lacking. Visually, it's very unique. For this reason, it would have been nice to have more things to explore at my leisure rather than just jump from boss to boss with no change of pace in between. The only truly interactive part of the game outside of running and gunning is the NPCs scattered throughout the map-- and they rarely have anything interesting or useful to say. The dialogue and story do very little to compliment this art style that is beloved by so many. Cuphead had such great potential to harness the amazing power of nostalgia, but the game just does not capitalize on it as much as I would've liked.

    If anything, you should play it because of the $20 price tag and because the developers obviously put a lot of work into it. I'm sure they would love to hear your feedback.

    + Engaging gameplay
    + Appealing visuals
    + Stands out from the crowd
    - Lackluster story & dialogue
    - Overly linear, almost tiring experience

    One final note: I don't consider 6/10 a "mixed" review like Metacritic does. My experience with Cuphead was mostly positive.    … Expand

    -One thing that is undeniable about Cuphead is that the game looks **** incredible. The animation is so good you can see every painstaking moment that the extremely talented artist had to go through. It looks fantastic
    -The gamemplay is incredibly addicting. The one thing i'll give Cuphead is that it is one of the most rewarding games i've ever played. The feeling that you'll get when you defeat a really hard boss is downright orgasmic. However not all is right here

    Cons:
    -The game is way too hard. I know that the get gud crowd will attack but honestly i really don't care. There is a difference between challenging difficulty (Like Princess Bon Bon and the frog brothers) and cheap difficulty (Like that bee **** and King Dice which is just a collection of go **** yourself).
    -There's no point to the easy difficulty. It's just there to tease you. Either don't have easy difficulty or have it be able to progress the game
    -And finally i did run into a couple of game breaking glitches

    The game is aesthetically good, and it plays nicely. But it's fairly short and doesn't offer anything new gameplay wise. Artificial difficulty plays a huge part in the boss fights, making me like it less. It's ultimately a mediocre game with really good art. And short. Way too short for the price. I finished the game in just over 3 hours.

    Far too hard, you've heard that time and time again but it's so true.

    The art style is beyond amazing. There is so much love and polish put into this game its a shame that most people will give up long before they get to see most of it. From the smooth animations, the perfect audio and the amazing background models it's all a treat for the eyes and ears. I have loved seeing game play videos of all the stages my weak human hands and brain will not be able to get me to in the game.

    The gameplay is okay. Controls are fine, the jumping is tight, the shooting feels right but where it falls short is the parry mechanic. Parry sadly just doesn't work all the time no matter how hard you try. It's really hard to tell why you're able to land one parry over another and starts to fell totally random. It clearly is a move the dev wanted you to get down, it revives your partner, doges shots and fills up your special attack. However you more likely give up on it to avoid taking damage.

    The second a patch comes out that offers a normal, medium or for simple humans mode this score will shoot up to a 10. It's such a let down that I can't recommend this to anyone other than hardcore bullet hell fans.    … Expand

    Lets start by the positive points of the game:
    1. Graphics are fantastic. The sensation of play a cartoon is one of the most incredible ever created in a game.
    2. The music is another complement that turns the immersion inside the 1930 cartoon even more "realistic".
    3. The game has 3 worlds and a final stage, the first two worlds are almost perfectly executed.
    Now the negative points:
    1. Unfortunately the incredible sensation that you feel in the first two worlds are not the same in the last world and in the final stage.
    2. There are some glitches and freezes, if you play for more that 3 hours almost for sure you will experience some kind of freeze that obligates you to restart the game, even some enemies or bosses may present glitches sometimes.
    3. Many reviews say that the game has a "fair" difficulty, even comparing Cuphead to Dark Souls series. I totally disagree with that, I played Dark Souls series, especially Dark Souls 3, where I acquired all the trophies.
    To me Cuphead has a fair difficulty only in the first two worlds, the third world and final stage have a clear "unfair" difficulty with the only objective to make the game last longer, because without the extra unfair difficulty in the last stages you would complete the game in only a couple hours. You can see some speed runners on youtube completing the game in less than 90 minutes. That extra unfair difficulty in the last stages for me is the worst part of cuphead, making you repeat stages over and over only to make the game last longer.    … Expand

    i nie zrozumcie mnie źle ja KOCHAM trudne gry ale nigdy w swoim życiu nie spotkałem gry która by była by trudna...
    bo jest trudna.Gra niczym nie uzasadnia swojego poziomu trudności żadnych mechanik żadnych słabych i mocnych punktów (może po za jednym wyjątkiem gdzie boss ma pare słabych punktów w które trzeba strzelić)
    jedyne twoje zdolności to:
    -zwykły atak
    -mocny
    -specjalny
    -parrowanie (którego nie używałem do przed ostatniej walki z bossem prawie wogóle i spokojnie by mogło go nie być)
    gra dopiero jednak staje się trudna na ostatniej walce z bossem przy drugim świecie co denerwóje bo do tego momentu każdego posa się pokonuje przy maksymalnie 7 podejściach a przy tym smoku to się czuje jakbym spacerek w parku uniemożliwiały mi miny motylkowe.
    a śmierci są tu głównie powodowane przez nagłe zmiany faz bossów które czasami są bardzo nie spodziewane i trudno się domyślić co zrobi albo przez to że twórcy chcieli zrobić jak najbardziej chamski się da konstukcję poziomów i ataki przeciwników.
    a poziomy platformowe to po prostu jebany cyrk na gąsienicach.

    Ale bym zgrzeszył gdybym nie powiedział o jej zaletach

I even had to turn off the music, because I couldn't bear that cheery tune contradicting with the misery I felt while playing.

    Cuphead is a stunningly looking, wonderfully animated interactive cartoon with three hours of jazz and ragtime playing in the background. Its gameplay however lacks the brilliance of the audiovisual layer. [12/2017, p.46]

    It is easy to tell that the developers studied the history of the genre through and through, delivering a stellar run and gun experience brought to life with unique old fashioned cartoon graphics. It may have it flaws, but when a game is this appealing it is easy to forgive.
