>Not as hard as the reputation it has.

Totally agree. I think it was the prefect level of difficulty for me.

I expected it to be way harder based on the stories i heard about it on release. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't some rage inducing impossible game either. Just a pleasant challenge

Don’t say that, it is that hard, u are very good playing and that’s it, I also got it 2 years ago, my 2nd favorite after Dark Souls 1

I love watching my plat vid for this. I was so locked in at the end I was just jumping around the falling chip perfectly and I love reliving that moment. I have no idea how many hours it took to finally beat him but it was a lot. Congrats 🎉

I’ve always wanted to go for it but always found it intimidating. How long did it take you?

Is this game a lot harder than Hollow Knight? I adore Hollow Knight and have no problem with its difficulty level but I don't want to spend the money on Cuphead only to find out that it is too hard...

Well, it's definitely the same reason for Cuphead. If the game were easy enough that you could beat all of the bosses on the first attempt, the entire game would literally only be an hour long without even attempting to speedrun it.

That said, I haven't found the challenge to feel unfair so far. Yes, it requires quite a few attempts for the harder bosses, but it's more "git gud" than it is "the designers are sadists".

Pretty much. I feel like if you were to take Cuphead back in time to a gamer back in the 80s or 90s, they'll find Cuphead pretty easy, after they're done having their minds blown over the graphics.

Yeah, the game's hard, but not UNFORGIVING, mostly in how it doesn't cost lives to retry a level.

Id say the opposite for me. Just got done dying ten times on the first level

What makes this game "hard" is the mindset. It's a progression game. You play a boss and die a few times until you finish the first phase. Then you know how to beat it and rinse and repeat for all the phases. People who are used to taking out bosses on the first or second try won't be fans of this "difficulty." But they did a good job of making all the challenges feel like they can be accomplished. Nothing feels impossible and I know what I screwed up every time I die.

Cuphead is very formulaic. once you get the hang of it, you can play it with muscle memory

I actually did the same thing. Bought about 3 years ago finished Isle 1 and quit. Just finished the dlc last week

Trust me, the DLC makes it way easier. Astral Cookie made every boss except the plane ones a lot easier.

Congrats! I just got this game on PS5 and I plan to get S rank on all bosses including DLC as well. I recently got the DualSense Edge and have adjusted everything to max comfort so I’m READY!

Me and my girlfriend have started playing it again after like a 3-year layoff. We are both terrible but it's fun to get hyper focused on one thing and the elation when we beat it.

Currently stuck on the clown rollercoaster dick (yes we are that bad).

oh the Devil on Expert was a real deal, and doing a S rank was an even bigger deal, idk how internet tends to make you believe is easier than Dr. Kahl Robot, tho maybe it's because i have played games like Undertale Yellow that led me to get some skills at those types of bullet hell

Bought it in the sale. The DLC and Ms. Chalice is so helpful. Finished the first island with A rank and the two run and guns on pacifist.

I have beaten a few expert bosses but it's the easiest ones

congrats! was my first challenging platinum and will always be one of my favourites

23HRS ???!? I thought it takes 50+ 😭😆

Congrats that’s a big one

Congrats!

Congratulations! This is one of the most challenging Platinum in the history of humankind.

Just git gud mate

Just kidding, the game is all about muscle memory, be cartain that these people that finish the game without taking damage, already died A LOT before being able to do this

I'll have to try several times before you remember "Now the boss will do this, now an enemy will appear here"

It is formally known as The Great Cuphead War in my house. 300 percent on all 3 saves. About 3 years ago. It is my greatest achievement to this day.

It can be really hard lmao, I got it without knowing how hard it was and didn't play for months, honestly it's really hard to beat bosses the first time but you do get the hang of it, the people making it look easy have just been through the rounds

>HOW DOES ONE BEAT THIS DAMN GAME!!!

Infinite amounts of trial and error, building skills more and more across a period of multiple hours a day, trying new strategies, retrying old strategies,

and a WHOLE lot of dying.

At some point, you just become

Why not do multiple runs of the same level to get all of the toppins?

I watched a video seeing if you can beat the game with only D-ranks

one must become one with the sucking to get the "you suck" judgement

Thats why hes smiling and giving you a thumbs up

Maybe that's why Peppino's giving you the thumbs up

For getting a rank that's actually harder to get than HOLY SH*T

10 hours? how did you optimize? guide says 25-35

Which was harder, the expert mode trophy or doing the run and gun levels as a pacifist? 

It becomes trivial with Ms. Chalice.

I cleared the Switch version ages ago, but will consider this one when the Full Course goes on sale!
