Microsoft Cuphead - Xbox One [Digital]

My daughter (12) lit up with joy when she found out i got it for her birthday. Its been the top played game in the house since mid July. Even my son (21) has gotten into it. I like that it isnt easy, so they both have to work at it. No one close to solving the game

I am writing this review as part of a contest. Cuphead is such a fun, unique, but difficult 2D platformer game! But be prepared for agonizing defeats and frustrating deaths. However, it makes the victories that much more fun! I played this game with a friend where we would switch off the controller between deaths and we had hours and hours of fun. It is an extremely difficult game to breeze through, but it makes the challenge of it more rewarding and exciting. The mechanics are fun, almost like an arcade game. The art style and graphics are unbelievably amazing. The bosses are unique and give the game excitement as you progress through. The art style gives the game such a nostalgic, old fashioned feel. You can really tell in the finished product that they put a lot of effort into this game. Their attention to detail makes the game like a piece of art to view. And the fact that this is only a $20 title makes it that much better. It provides a similar amount of content and playtime as a $60 title. I will say that I would not recommend this for younger children or even a casual gamer as it might be too difficult. Overall, I love the game and its overall experience!
