  • Abstract:  Does it even matter whether Cuphead is any good?I mean, yes, in one sense it does: if you're thinking about whether you should buy it, then obviously you want to feel like you're getting your money's worth. (And, as I'll get to shortly, in that sense it d...

  • Abstract:  I was a Silly Symphonies kid. My entire childhood was spent going to my grandmother's house on Saturday mornings for breakfast. I remember the smell of bacon and eggs wafting out of her kitchen, the crinkle of the the plastic covering her couch, and the w...

  • Cuphead is a masterpiece in its art and sound design, however for its difficulty level, it is truly “a deal with the Devil”. There is no other way to beat this game except mastering your skills and wishing for the luck to stay by your side. It is a game t...

  • Abstract:  HANDLE WITH CARE Maybe it was after the telekinetic carrot? Or perhaps the sinister sunflower? Or the zeppelin lady? But at some point I started to realize that StudioMDHR’s new game Cuphead is hard. And I mean like really hard, on average I think its bos...
