A visual love letter to 1930s animation that’s as gorgeous as it is likely to make your kid scream at the TV in frustration.
View →Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is a rare gem. It’s a piece of playable art that doesn't treat kids like they're incapable of handling a challenge.
It’s safe from the usual modern gaming traps—no battle passes or predatory gambling here. It’s just old-school, difficult fun.
Just be prepared for some loud 'Ugh!' sounds from the living room when they die right at the end of a boss's final phase. It’s all part of the process.
Best for ages 8 and up. While younger kids will love the art, the mechanical skill required is high. If they can handle a Mario game, they can try this, but expect to step in and help.
The 1930s rubber-hose aesthetic is pure charm, and the co-op focus encourages teamwork. However, the sheer difficulty can lead to high-stress 'gamer rage' rather than calm play.
This is a hand-drawn masterpiece. Every frame is a work of art that feels like a living, breathing vintage cartoon. The boss transformations are wildly creative and unpredictable.
No online chat, no loot boxes, and no microtransactions. Violence is strictly cartoonish 'poof' knockouts, though some boss designs (like melting faces or skeletons) might be a bit much for the very little ones.
It’s a masterclass in 'grit.' Players have to fail dozens of times to learn patterns. It rewards patience, pattern recognition, and insane reflexes.
