⠀As a platformer junkie by heart and growing up playing Contra not knowing about the konami code, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Cuphead is the title I never knew to be my dream game that has come into fruition.⠀⠀The gameplay is a shot to all the senses. (Yes. You can actually smell and taste that victory coming upon a few more retries). It can be easy to dismiss this as another style over substance title, but that would be hell wrong; not with that tight movement and twitch gunplay accompanying all that aesthetic. At first I thought that the diagonal aiming was a bit iffy, but then found out that it is as intended since it proved to be useful in later sections. The addition of swappable weapons and parrying also sets this ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀game apart from other run n' gun titles (As if the visuals were not enough).⠀I found myself having a wide grin every stage seeing all the whacky and creative bosses, just trying to soak it all in whenever they move into their new form. A feeling of redemption after killing a boss whom ⠀was mocking you for all your countless failures then subsequently follows this. That feeling is bliss.⠀⠀⠀Overall I am very happy to see Cuphead receive mass media attention as I hope it could spark a resurgence of these type of games that purely relies on skill, in contrast to the mainstream "experience ⠀simulators" that hold your hand too often. Buy this game. Support the developers. You will be elated ⠀⠀when you are a fan of the genre and even if not, this will improve your gaming skills in general.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
