The main appeal of Cuphead, aside from the visuals, are the dozens of unique and challenging bosses, each one filled with charm and attention to detail.

57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty ramps up a good amount on Expert, more projectiles, faster patterns, higher boss health compared to regular.

30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I often find myself replaying bosses with my boyfriend, because it has couch co-op and an amazing one at that!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Thankfully, the DLC got rid of the run and gun levels, and instead focused entirely on the bosses, featuring some of the best fights in the entire game, as well as new gimmick fights that put your parry skills to the test.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main game, dlc and the ost are worth every penny spent.
