Cuphead is a run n' gun shooter that riffs on the traditions of 90s side-scrolling shooters, albeit with a very unique twist. Cuphead is almost entirely hand-animated, using old-school techniques from 1920s classic-era cartoons. The uncanny creep factor of those ancient toons is dialed up to 11 in Cuphead, making it visually unmistakable in a very busy market.
Cuphead won piles of awards when it launched, for its unashamed fair, but unrelenting difficulty, restless creativity, and stunning art. Cuphead remains one of the best games on Xbox as well as one of the best games on PC, and should certainly be on your radar if it wasn't already.
