Cuphead is one of the most defiant video games I've ever played. The lead-up to the game focused on the animation style that defines the game. And it is worth discussing. By now anyone who has heard about the game knows about its distinctive hand-drawn animation more reminiscent of Porky's Hare Hunt than Halo. But every facet of Cuphead is about being true to that 1930s cartoon sensibility. And in honoring their inspiration, StudioMDHR Entertainment has created something original.
