CUPHEAD
I’d hate to be that guy, but Cuphead truly does feel like the Dark Souls equivalent of shoot-em-ups- at least in spirit. Dying in Cuphead is not uncommon, to say the least. In fact, it’s almost crucial. It often takes countless attempts to learn the attack patterns of many of the game’s bosses, but it is exactly this trial-and-error approach that makes Cuphead so addictive. What also helps is the fact that though the game is maddeningly challenging, it is rarely ever unfair- you always want to have another go at it, to correct your earlier mistakes, to make it to the next boss.
