"There’s not a whiff of cynicism about Cuphead: from its aesthetic to its systems, it’s wilfully off-trend, and utterly its own thing," we said in our Cuphead review, in which we awarded the game an impressive 86. "As tough as it gets, ultimately that’s what’s really worth shouting about."
YouTube channel 64 Bits recently reimagined many of Dark Souls' most memorable bosses with a Cuphead-esque animation style.
