    The graphics are just gorgeous, the gameplay is perfectly balanced and the major bugs were solved in the first patches. A fantastic game to play, the only con would be the lack of online multiplayer.

    Cuphead is a great game for $20, just beware it is very hard and not for the casual player. It took me roughly 15-20hrs with probably a couple hundred deaths. Most of the bosses can be beaten in an hour, but there are a few much harder ones that will require a few hours to finally get down.

    I can't think of any flaws with this game. The visual style is amazing as well as the challenge presented by all of the bosses. It can be frustrating at times, but the feeling you and your friend get after finally defeating that boss you've been stuck on is exhilarating.

    This game is very fun but only for gamers that love a challenge. I don't recommend people that don't like to have a hard game. I see new things that I never seen before on this game.

    No game could compare to the uniquely glorious art design of cuphead. Bosses feel punishing yet fair, once you learn their pattern it all clicks and you feel like Neo from the matrix. I have no critiques.

    Great and unique game, unique bosses, don't listen comments that gives 0 crying that game is too hard, it is a little challenging sometimes but not impossible, I would give it a 10 but only games like Witcher 3, RDR, Elden Ring can have 9-10 :)

El juego es realmente bueno en single player, pero recomiendo jugarlo con otra persona, ya que eso hace que la experiencia sea redonda y realmente satisfactoria. Ademas, el diseño artístico basado en los dibujos animados de los años 30 hace que derroche personalidad por los cuatros costados. Un indie obligatorio si te gustan los juegos difíciles, y si se te queda corto suerte con el modo Experto. Duración aproximada: 15-25 horas (depende mucho de tu habilidad).… Expand

    Un gran juego de plataformas donde el error te hace mas fuerte. Juego totalmente equilibrado y un reto para todo el mundo. De una empresa indie salió esta joya que mucha gente le tiene aprecio y han terminado haciendo una serie. Me encantaría un modo multijugador, pero el juego local ya me sirve.

    I really have no complaints with this game. It's beautiful, it's a fun challenge, there's no bs in it. You just simply have to get good. I love this game. I'm proud of the platinum trophy I got from it. I hope we see a full sequel one day.

    Лучший 2D платформер, в который я когда-либо играл. Мне нравится его сложность и крайне необычная в наше время рисовка. Очень долго ждал его на PS4 и наконец дождался.

    A fun unique game that brings out the style of 30's cartoons. The game looks cute but it does not shy away from making you regret buying it because of its grueling difficulty.

    I've been hoping three years for this game to be released on PS4.
    A love letter to Max Fleischer and 30's cartoons, with the finest art style I've ever seen in a videogame.
    Combat is also fun, bosses are challenging and unique.
    A true Gem.

This game is pretty much perfect, even without taking in account its AMAZING artstyle and top of the line music. The story is endearing and the gameplay has precise controls, is hard, but not that hard, is really a fair challenge if you don´t chicken up you´ll prevail and feel like a god at the end of the game. If you liked games like contra, mega man, gradius, rtype, metal slug, etc.. make yourself a favor and GET this game, anything less than a 10 for this is a insult to the revolutionary nature of this game.… Expand

    Cuphead is a side scrolling shooter where you play a cute little hand drawn cup who has to navigate a cute little hand drawn map and shoot cute little hand drawn flowers, pots, vehicles, clowns, mermaids, hot dogs, animals, fish and more in the style of classic Disney cartoons.

But don't let that description fool you this game is tough as nails. You are on a journey to save your soul from the devil and all of those things want to and will kill you. I love this game. I love everything about it. I love the hand drawn style, the classical music and sound effects, the animations and gameplay. I love that it kicks my ass 100 times but makes me want to get my ass kicked a 100 more until I finally push through. Addicting and rewarding are the 2 things this game is most. Each level has you push through different enemy types in difference scenes to get to a final boss(s). Some levels are different as they are more like mini games where you need to simply get to the finish line as fast as you can or complete a certain task without getting hit. The animations and visuals are so pin point accurate to classic Disney cartoons that I couldn't believe I was playing it. Everything on screen is moving in that jolly fashion where it looks like everything is dancing. Bosses in particular are fantastic in the way they change their expressions the closer you are to defeating them. Many of them changing battle modes the more damage you do to force you to change your tactics and memorize their patterns. The games difficulty is more reminiscent of a bullet hell shooter where it is hard but fair. It takes practice and a lot of retries to complete this game. At first it can be a bit overwhelming but later you'll feel like you gained a skill and that's part of the reward. Reaction time and memorization is key to winning. It was hard for me to put this game down even after losing so many times. It's very easy to pick up and play. You can buy different power ups and bullets that fire 3 shots at once or one big shot for example. You also have different super moves that you can use that causes major damages to multiple enemies on screen. They have a very useful counter attack that refills your super move but it is hard to pull off. Being able to get hit only a few times is nerve racking but all the more rewarding when you finish a level with no damage and get that sweet A+ grade. The only thing stopping it from being a masterpiece is that I felt the final boss was easier than a few earlier bosses and the map aspect of it was unecessary as all you really do in it is push your character to walk to the next level. They have branching paths but you can always go back to another path so it felt unneeded. Aside from that an almost perfect game and it even has co-op which is an added bonus. Must buy.… Expand

    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.
