8 Intense Games That Kept You On The EDGE OF YOUR SEAT

Cuphead's gorgeously old-timey cartoon aesthetic belies the fact that it's also one of the most brilliantly, hellaciously palm-soaking games of the past decade.

A dizzying run-and-gun game that'll test the mettle of even the most hardened bullet hell fiend, Cuphead will leave you anxiously dodging projectiles as you try to fight your way to the end of each stage and take on the fantastically creative boss waiting for you.

Even accepting that Cuphead's bite-sized levels are fairly respectful of your time compared to its genre brethren, these frantic sprints can be enormously stressful due to the sheer amount of plate-spinning that's required of the player.

The feeling of satisfaction when beating a tough level is immense, though you might feel the overpowering urge to go for a mind-clearing walk around the block afterwards.

Again, don't be fooled by those charming-ass visuals - this is one of the most adrenalised boss rush games out there.
