  • Relatively short
  • Later bosses are a step too far
  • Busy visual style isn't ideal for two-player co-op
  • Revisiting previous boss battles calls for slow-paced treks across three maps

  • Only really one way to play
  • Some cheap deaths

  • Abstract:  Let's get this out of the way first. Despite it's unique cartoon-based appearance, Cuphead is an incredibly difficult game. The majority of the title focuses on boss battles and no matter how good you are at such games, you'll be surprised. For example, b...

  • Unique graphics and audio style, Diversity of levels
  • Difficulty settings
  • The developers of Cuphead, Studio MDHR made a decision about the difficulty that I think they'll end up regretting. As beautifully designed as this game is, I think the easy mode should be easy for kids or casual gamers to pickup and have some success at...

  • Abstract:  We've all seen Disney movies, and some of us have seen enough of them to know that we're Disney geeks. You may even have your favourite (mine has a big musical numbers, which won't narrow it down tremendously), but if you've watched any in the past five o...
