Cuphead is either a game you love or hate. The art style is as unique as it gets the gameplay is very retro but very addicting (for some). It is a game that prides itself on being difficult and it sure is difficult. This week the Heathens (featuring a very sick Sacco) talk all about Cuphead. Matt doesn't like being taunted, Marissa is good at the game, and Sacco is a soundboard.

Games we talk about this week: Cuphead
