This is such a great, but extremely hard, game. It is quite literally a newer version of what we used to play on the Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis back in the day.

Cuphead got a lot of flack from reviewers due to success being so dependent on memorizing the levels and enemy patterns. Comments like that is why we don't get more games like this. That complaint they had is literally how these games worked back in the day.

It was also part of the reason many loved them. If you could "dial" the game in and recognized those patterns quickly, or remembered from previous play, you could impress your friends.

Hard but fun as hell.
