Yes, it may just be a 2D platformer (that until very recently was no more than a series of boss encounters), but... just look at it. It's quite possibly the most beautifully nostalgic-looking game that's ever existed.

And that's not to say that it looks 8-bit or anything gamey like that. Cuphead's hand-drawn art style is inspired by old-school Disney cartoons (minus the racism), and is supplemented by a driving swing soundtrack that makes it a visual and acoustic spectacle unlike any other.

The gameplay looks fun too - a fast-paced challenging run-and-gun platformer that so gruelling that you'll barely have a moment to appreciate the beauty of it all as you try to keep the titular hero alive and running from left to right.
