Cuphead’s fetishisation of problem and the air of smugness perpetrated by among the louder components of its neighborhood sadly put me off the finger-gun platformer, but when something might have made me give it one other probability, it could have been the flexibility to summon a military of anthropomorphic cups. Lamentably, this bug, together with many others, has been squashed within the latest update.
Freezes, hitboxes, collision bugs and boss stability tweaks are only a few of the issues that the PC replace tackles. The full record is here, however for those who don’t wish to stare into the abyss, I’ve plucked out just a few highlights.
First off, there’s the aforementioned elimination of the Mugman military, so no extra exploiting the sport so you possibly can summon a horde of friends. If you bought used to being cheeky and damaging bosses off-screen, that’s been fastened, too. For completionists, you’ll lastly be capable to get A+ grades on the Funfair Fever and Treetop Trouble ranges. And that ultimate a part of the patch notes? It’s a reference to the difficult Yoshi Island stage, Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy.
Since I cooled on it fairly rapidly, right here’s what Matt, who loved it, product of it in his Cuphead review:
Cuphead isn’t nearly response occasions and pattern-learning. I realized to sit down again and rethink my method to a stage every so often. Is that a part of the display as harmful as I believed it was? Are these pink jelly beans simpler for me to farm tremendous meter playing cards from than I first thought? What if I attempt saving my tremendous for that stage, or use enhanced assaults to get by that difficult part sooner? It hardly ever feels unfair, though it generally took me dozens of makes an attempt to work out beat the latter levels of a struggle. You don’t get one other probability to determine beat these levels till you’ve gotten by the sooner ones once more, which could be grueling when you already know you’re solely going to fail as soon as extra. The ultimate bosses are notably merciless in that regard, though I assume that’s to be anticipated in a sport that locations such a big emphasis on problem.
The replace is stay now.
