    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.

    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 :)

    Great visual design, but the game just isn't fun to play. To compensate for its short length, the designers bumped the difficulty through the roof. This makes the gameplay repetitive and tedious. It took me 740 deaths to make it through and I was glad when it was over. Shame, because it really is gorgeous to look at.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
