    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.

    I play since 1983 and the reason I´m still playing is thanks to games like this. Ultra 3d graphics stopped to impress me long ago and I´m less keen on overly complicated games (red dead redemption 2 comes to mind among others).

THIS is the game I was waiting for my whole life, we as kids in the 80s dreamed of a game that truly looked like a cartoon (and were trolled by Dragon´s Lair and such). 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

    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.

    Cuphead is without a doubt one of the most well-crafted games I have ever played.

The bosses are all very unique and each one offered a different challenge.

    Having said that, the difficulty level is definitely not for everyone, as some bosses sometimes want you to question your life choices. If you get easily upset and are not looking for a game where you have to try a certain stage over and over again in order to beat it, Cuphead might not be for you. However, I really loved the challenge - and the feeling of accomplishment after beating a hard boss made it worth it everytime. I just got the Platinum Trophy yesterday, and it was definitely no easy feat. But the game was never unfairly hard, meaning that I almost always felt that I was responsible if I screwed up.

    So, overall it was an all around engaging and very fun experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves a good challenge. I seriously couldn't think of anything that would bring this below a 10.    … Expand

    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.

    WOW! This game is so much fun but it takes some serious skill and patience. You will see yourself get so much better overtime. I completed the game on normal and now on my expert play through but still having so much fun. Highly suggest this game if you grew up on tough Super Nintendo games and love a good challenge. Really happy this came to the PS4

    Un videogioco che rasenta la perfezione: gameplay semplice ma efficace e che nonostante sia sempre lo stesso riesce a non risultare mai ripetitivo ma anzi davvero divertente, boss tutti meravigliosamente ispirati e con pattern di attacco sempre vari, classici livelli run & gun che spezzano bene il ritmo delle boss fight e musiche in linea con lo stile anni 30 e praticamente da oscar.

    Se a tutto questo si aggiunge il fatto che ogni animazione presente nel gioco e persino i vari font delle lettere sono stati disegnati completamente a mano, non può che non essere considerato un capolavoro.

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

    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.
