2 and Infinite are pretty great too, if only for how original and beautiful they are. Not the best FPS games but just really cool ideas. That's enough for me.

Cuphead got extremely delayed because it was supposed to just be a boss rush game but then it unexpectedly got alot of attention and MS made them go back and add actual levels, thus raising the chance that the game will turn out bad significantly

yeah people have not been kind to footage of the levels they made. they are looking like very basic platforming type levels and the backgrounds repeat like in a hanna barbara cartoon chase sequence

Castle/World of Illusion for Genesis are good as is Magical Quest for SNES. The recent Castle of Illusion remake was also pretty good (though not amazing)

Yeah the levels look boring. And the explosion animation when things die is waaaay too big and long, they need to tone that poo poo down.

The animation is great but its a game, not a cartoon. Wish it was just a boss rush game.

man this is disappointing. That game looked great from the previews at E3 last year and I was looking forward to the PC release. The boss battles in that video still look interesting, but the platforming segments look abysmally boring and annoying, like they exist just to break things up between the bosses... which is something they should NOT want! Man, what the heck. :(

It did get a GBA release outside of Japan (along with the first 2) but it's somewhat hard to come by for a decent price now.

I did like how if you didn't level skip all the way to the last level you could power up Minnie and get her up the ladder to fight Pete risk free since she's invincible.

The saddest thing about Cuphead is how stunning the art and animation style is. If you didn't know it was a game, then you'd be forgiven thinking it is some throwback to the old Mickey cartoons. There is knowledge and love put into that aspect of it. The gameplay looks so bland and uncertain of itself. Why an infinite firing beam from his finger? Why a thousand enemies per square inch? It's almost like it's a old spaceship shootemup.

I just played 45 minutes of A2MR. This is an amazing fan creation completely worthy of the praise it's getting. I recommend everyone unsure to take a peek at it, especially since it's free.

It's not the worst game I've played, but cool art design (which it definitely has) doesn't make up for weak combat, forgettable levels, and pretty eh writing.

Forgettable levels as opposed to which game, exactly?

I think you need something to break up the game between the bosses. Like, that's the reason shadow of the colossus makes you ride around the desert between each fight, if you just had to fight them all back-to-back it'd stop being fun and just start being tiring, it's a pacing issue. That platforming does look really bland, though, so maybe they should've done it with like, little walky-talky adventure game segments or something instead. Hopefully they'll have made some good platforming levels by the time they release.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


There's something deeply unsettling and creepy to me about that 1920s cartoon look.

Maybe it's not funny at all and I'm laughing at nothing but I'm getting a chuckle out of a fancy restaurant being all like "Come to our cool fancy restaurant for brunch where you can have all these exciting drinks, you can get endless mimosas, or a bloody mary, or all kinds of freshly brewed tea and coffee" and then you get to the food and it's like "breakfast burrito" "breakfast pizza" "scrambled eggs" "pancakes"

I've discovered the most fun way to play nuclear throne is Steroids (have the golden shot gun on him) and do the 3-3 skip so your runs go way faster

if you're having fun with it then right on but i would really recommend against it. the quality of weapon drops is tied to the number of portals traveled through, so crown vaults + the pizza sewers will cause good weapons to appear sooner and the oasis skip drops that by a lot
