    I loved this game. Amazing art style and brutal but fair challenge. One of my favorite side scrollers next to the Rayman Legends series. In a league of its own.

    Cuphead is not just difficult, but amazing. The gameplay style in 2D, the presentation, the bosses, and of course, a game that really remind me of my childhood.

    Legit, hardcore, nice-looking, marvelous. Great asset to a world of platformer genre.

    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.

    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 :)

    Cuphead es un juego que mezcla muchos niveles en los que hay que derrotar a un jefe en sus distintas fases con unos pocos niveles de estilo "Run & Gun".

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.

    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.

    Cuphead varies between fun bosses, and bosses that are so cheap you have no chance to learn how to improve.

    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.

    At first glance cuphead didn't look like a game i would play. At videos and trailers everything looked so full and overwhelming. I wasn't a fan of the artstyle either.
    But after the game was on sale i gave it a try and it was surprisingly fun to play! The screen is full of projectiles but it's truly different than watching a video of cuphead. It's also really challenging on normal-mode so    At first glance cuphead didn't look like a game i would play. At videos and trailers everything looked so full and overwhelming.

It's also really challenging on normal-mode so you really have to be patient and try out different tactics or playstyles for every boss or level; A 2d-jump'n'run "soulslike" if you want. Soundtrack was very charming and tbh i also kinda felt in love with the artstyle and the animations. If you are patient or searching for a challenging game i can highliy recommend cuphead to you.    … Expand

    The game is great and everyone has given it all the praise it can get. BUT BE WARNED! This game is brutally difficult and if you don't have the patience to develop skills, you're gonna have a bad time.

    Great game in a beautiful cartoon style from the 30s. The game has excellent and varied bosses, a good soundtrack, interesting characters, levels. One of the best platform games ever.

    This game is awesome. The controls are great, the graphics are splendid and the game play is fun as hell. Prepare to die a ton, though. No punches are pulled here. Oh and the music is addictive.

    Great boss fights with awesome artwork and score. Finished all levels, but won't likely play again on expert mode. After beating that dragon, you know you can beat the game.

    It's Contra with a big jazz band and Dark Souls with rubber hose animation. That's it, that's all I gotta say.

    Historia.
    Este juego no será recordado por su historia, ya que es sumamente simple, pero que cumple con su objetivo de dar el motivo para adentrarnos en esta aventura, es una historia bastante simple y con dos finales.
    Gráficos.
    El apartado gráfico de este título es maravilloso y es increíble que todo está hecho de forma artesanal, así es, los gráficos y los fondos, todos fueron hechos a mano con ese estilo de caricaturas de los años 20's, además hay un filtro que asemeja el añejado estilo, para haberle dado más realismo hubiera estado mejor un filtro en blanco y negro.
    Todos los personajes están bien hechos y ninguno parece fuera de su época, sin duda mi Boss favorito fue Cala María. El estilo visual de este título enamora desde el inicio.
    Sonido.
    Otro apartado que sobresale en este juego es su banda sonora junto con los efectos de sonidos propios de la época. La banda sonora es magnífica, agradables y plegadizas melodías que te apuesto vas a querer llevar en tu lista de reproducción junto con el resto de música favorita.
    Gameplay.
    Lo más importante de cada juego y que sin duda Cuphead lo hace bien. En lo personal me gustan mucho títulos como Contra y Metal Slug siendo estos los que nos llevan en diferentes mundos para que al final nos enfrentemos a los Boss de cada nivel, sin embargo en Cuphead todo esto es diferente ya que hay tres islas donde navegaremos para enfrentarnos directamente a los Boss y a parte están los niveles que debemos completar para adquirír monedas que podemos gastar en la tienda y así recibir mejoras de combate y salud.
    Esto siento que hace más lento el juego y que bajo mi opinión hubiese sido mejor incluir lo niveles y los Boss juntos para que le diera más dinamismo como los ya mencionados títulos.
    Cuphead te puede resultar difícil, sin embargo al igual que muchos juegos de su estilo sólo es cuestión de memorizar patrones y mejorar tus habilidades para que todo sea mucho más fácil, de hecho al mejorar el juego se torna mucho más fácil y su máxima dificultad se reduce si aprendes todo y maximizas a tu personajes.
    Platinar este juego no es complicado pero si te tomará un tiempo según tu habilidad.
    Historia 8/10
    Gráficos 9/10
    Sonido 10/10
    Gameplay 8/10

    RECOMENDADO!

    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.
