Cuphead Review

Cuphead is an artistic tour de force and a brutal side-scrolling action game that pushes you to become a better player.

So much praise by the reviewer, but the game got 8.Meanwhile other games get at least 8 for their mediocre gameplay and doing the same things over and over again.I was expecting at least 9

The amount of work that went into the art is fucking fascinating!!!

"You never know your progress in a boss battle or their phase"
If you ever bothered to open the settings menu, you can turn on an overlay that gives you exactly this information.

I have never seen a more polished game. This game has so much time and thought and care put into it.

As a PS4 owner, I'm glad Xbox One users have this. Seriously I love the art style of this game and I hope this sells well.

How do you give this an 8 with all the praise you gave it? It just doesn't add up.

This game looks fantastic. Cant wait to play it!

People have got to stop generalizing gamers and Xbox owners specifically. All I've seen is "this game won't sell because Xbox has a casual audience" I own a Xbox One and I'm going to buy this game. I also own a Ps4 and Switch so don't try to call me a fanboy. I'm a gamer that likes every console. I'm looking forward to buying Monster Hunter World on Ps4 and Mario Odyssey on the Switch.

9 or 10 if on PS4 or Switch. Can you be any more obvious, Gamespot? SAD!

This game deserves a 9.0 or a 9.5 for the great animation and fun gameplay and co-op.

As an 80s Platforming games guy.I'm die hard fan of this game!!

[bashful_michael]

This would sell like gangbusters on Switch but hey I'm happy for all the Xbox Fans and PC users!

[astrocyborg]

gets praised for the whole review yet only an 8 must not have enough gore for him

[beasticy]

I'm sure its an 8 because its not on PS4

[jaynukem]

This looks to be one of the greatest things ever created. I'd like to see more games that use such an art style.

[timgrossman]

How is the progress screen when you die not enough to inform you of what you want to know? It seems fine to me

[Saikanix]

Can't wait to play this on PC, hopefully my laptop will be able to run it.

[manciudorin]

this looks like the best 2d game in ages
why only 8 score from reviewers?
i mean undertale gets better score then this?

Jesus Gamespot why couldn't you just give Cuphead 10/10... It clearly deserves it. 30s cartoon style turned into video game.

Gamesradar gave Cuphead 5/5 stars and the only con was "no online"... What did Cuphead do wrong for you to give it a low score like 8...

I know what you're thinking... 8 is a good score. *Buzz noise*
For a creative and inventive masterpiece like Cuphead, 8 is pretty low. I guess you'll give COD WWII a 9 because it's a COD game set in WWII..." You guys sure are full of shit. If it wasn't for last year's Dishonored 2 and this year's Injustice 2, i would say the mainstream gaming market is pure crap. Look at what happened to ME Andromeda. It became Bioware's version of Destiny, Infamous 3, Watchdogs etc.

P.S: He gave Cuphead a 8 because it was unpredictable at times and even on low difficulty, it was still difficult to play.

My first time playing this game was the most fun I have had with a video game in a long time, very challenging with beautiful presentation!
