Conclusion :

Very cool game implements well new FIA regulations + more interaction outside of driving than in previous game
Supercars are appreciated however since F1 2020 there has been none of the classic F1 cars which is very annoying
My team and carrer are more detailed and some minors details have been polished/added (pitstops errors, voice control, VR and Wheel support)
Graphics have improved (it can almost look like real life if you enable RTX)
However AI oh boy are they fast (got kinda fixed it was due to AI being very lightweight in the game files which improves acceleration, exit speed I think they also had a lower drag coefficient day one) and can send you into the wall even when you overtake cleanly
Multiplayer is alright players are very toxic but devs can't do anything about that
Cross Play was added VERY late in my opinion

System tested (worst to best) :

I5 8250U GTX 1050 1080p low 60 to 70fps (no RT; FSR enabled)
I5 9400F GTX 1660TI 1080p high 80fps (no RT/FSR)
Ryzen 5 5600H RTX 3060 Mobile 1080p Ultra 60fps (High RT no DLSS/FSR)

tested without recording

Game is cool but if you play solo and don't mod it you're gonna play it for 2 hours and then get bored and then come back to it months later and again

Conclusion :

It's a very cool game but if you haven't got any friends nor planning to install mods you're gonna get fed up pretty quickly if you're really a fan of hardcore skate sim and you're looking for a game with more support from the devs and better physics then i'd recommend going for Session
Else if you've got money then go for it

System Tested (from worst to best ; vanilla)

i5 6600K GTX 950 1080p Ultra 60 fps
I7 4770k GTX 1060 3G 1080p Ultra 80 fps
I7 7700K GTX 1660TI 1080p Ultra 140 fps
RYZEN 5 5600H RTX 3060 Mobile Ultra 200+ fps

tested without recording

Very good game if you want to play at night wirh friends from every platform. Little problem about the game is that your fps can be unlimited (that was like a problem 1year ago i think it got fixed) but you gotta look for the option on the game files, and you couldn't go beyond 120 cause some perks stopped working (deliverance and other perks like that) or didnt work properly.

Gameplay in a nutshell :

You are a survivor trying to escape a ruthless and scary killer by repairing 5 genrators or dodging the killer with your set of perks and opening a door to get your freedom, but no this realm isnt earth it is what people call the entity realm so every time you die or survive you are send back to the beggining for endless suffering and blood

You are a killer trying to kill / sacrifice survivors, as a killer you use your perks to find and put survivors on meat hooks, after 3 times on the hook the entity kills them automatically, or you can use a finisher. Every killer has different abilities to surprise the survivors and kill them brutally.

Positive things :
-Very fun with friends at night
-Devs who listen to feedback
-Every 3 months there are new characters
-Well done collabs with iconic horror films/shows
-Game can be found at 4-10 euros on instant gaming... which is a very good price for this game

Negative Points
-Bugs that can ruin the experience
-Some servers are laggy (it improved a lot in the past year)
-Campers are REALLY annoying (devs cant really do anything i know)

K/M combo

XBOX ONE/360

PS3/4/5

Switch PRO Controller

Conclusion:

This game is vey cheap and very very fun i absolutely recommend it, it's also playable on a lot of system with a lot of controllers. The collabs with classic horror figures makes the game better. However if you have cardiac problems, epilepsy, severe anxiety and stress dont play this game, it isnt that scary but it can be stressful / very suprising some times.

it deserves a good 9/10

This game is gud i recommand for french players (like me) and players who like fast fps

Super jeu je conseille vraiment a ceux qui aime la plateforme et les jeu rageant
Cuphead est a premiere vue facile mais est en fait très technique ce jeux se joue avec le skill
