Watching other people play Cuphead, I understand that I gave up on the extremely easy parts

dodged a bullet on this one, I think

Probably for the best, then

this looks like

genuinely unbeatable

Glad I didn't get it, then

it's... I don't want to say it's IWBTG-level because, amongst other things, its controls are responsive and it doesn't rely on recognizing traps without tells

but it's that same level of masocore, it's very Battle Kid-ian

Cuphead & The Difficulty Dilemma

I'm watching this and it reflects a lot of my own emotions while playing

like I don't even, in general, hate this pseudogenre

I loved 1001 Spikes and Dark Souls is on my top 3 list of all time

I just found the specific execution of Cuphead's difficulty very frustrating

The boss design in this is incredible

just visually

oh absolutely

like, the visual design of cuphead is some of the best in any video game ever
