    Cons:
    - Its gameplay mechanism is designed very poorly, you might enjoy fighting against some of the bosses, however, most of the time it's straight frustrating.
    - The game is very short, it does seem like developers had a choice either to make a good game with enough content or just make it very difficult to play, so people will play the game to fill that gap the gameplay's time.
    - The shop's items are almost useless, only the "smoke bomb" is the one that really helps,
    - Super attacks that affects on damage's power are almost useless as well, due to game designed in a way that it will progress based on scripted animations.

    Credits to artists, regarding of developers - they could've done better job.    … Expand

    This game looks great and is a fun idea but it is unnecessarily and insanely difficult. Basically the unnecessarily high level of difficulty overrides all other positive aspects of this game that could have made it something special, and makes the game complete garbage.

    Really really poor game. Swapping fun for difficulty. The play forming run and gun sections are god awful. And then if you have the gall to even try and play the easier mode you’re completely punished by not being able to finish the game. Played about an hour and I’ve put it down, would trade it in so quickly if it wasn’t digital.

    This game is sooooo gooood except it's even harder than sekiro. To platinum it needs lots of practice and a bit luck.

    With such a well-respected and well-known title such as Cuphead, there really isn't a lot that can be said for the PS4 port that hasn't already been stated since its original release in 2017. A fiendishly difficult platformer with a great soundtrack and beautiful level design and aesthetics awaits any gamer that loves a challenge, and is happy to put the hours in. Sit in a darkened room, avoid any and all of those pesky real-world interruptions, and take on a telepathic giant carrot. Ace.

    Despite an occasional mean streak, when Cuphead plays fair it’s as much a treat for the thumbs as it is for the eyes– and with these distinctive, cartoon-inspired looks that’s no small feat. [Issue#179, p.78]

    Cuphead for PS4 doesn't add anything to what we already have on other platforms, but it is still a very unique experience with addicting gameplay, solid boss fights, super fun coop play and great music.
