    What has been created in Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course is beautiful to behold, the right side (just) of frustratingly hard, and will keep you playing for a while, all as you spend time with Ms. Chalice and work with the new weapons.

    The Delicious Last Course is almost perfect, as the original. Is impressive, difficult and technically amazing, but short.

    Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is the perfect DLC to say goodbye to Cuphead and think about the future of the series or any new IP that Studio MDHR may bring us. The DLC offers an expanded and improved vision of the game and introduces a new playable character that completely changes the way we play the game.

    For years our appetite grew for the Cuphead expansion, and while The Delicious Last Course can be gobbled up within a few hours, it was definitely worth the wait. The love and passion that is within every thread of the creation are evident throughout and make each moment a pleasure to play. Bosses ascend to new levels of greatness and are a benchmark for the genre. The expressive jazz score and the faithful design help to make this finger-licking dollop of DLC an absolute masterpiece.

    Ms. Chalice and the new weaponry and charms are an excellent addition to what was already a stellar package and you can even complete all of it on the simple mode for once! Everyone should at least see if not play this expansion, it is truly wonderful.

    The Delicious Last Course is an almost perfect extension. The game mechanics and animations take the boss fights to the next level, the new way to earn in-game money is a lot more entertaining and Ms. Chalise provides the necessary variation. While the fun may be over too soon, this expansion makes Cuphead even better.

    In short, because it’s short, you get a more bite-sized piece of the whole Cuphead experience, but its upped challenge sort of makes up for that. I definitely found myself banging my head against the wall, which was to be expected, I just hadn’t wanted to be getting that headache so early on in the piece. It didn’t stop me from keeping on going though, which should give you an idea of the draw and pull here. Part tantalisation, part revenge, all in good fun. Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course has certainly sated my hunger and I only hope that while this is meant to be the last service here, that the kitchen isn’t closed for good.

    Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course presents everything we liked the game for but with more finesse, challenge, and attention to detail.

    A brilliant new playable character makes re-experiencing the beautiful brutality of Cuphead a worthwhile prospect. The expertly designed bosses are a delight, even if the experience ends up being a bit of snack rather than a full meal.

    Those who enjoyed and have missed the controller-throwing fury of Cuphead will be happy with the Delicious Last Course. It's a wholesome story, features more of the vintage art style that made the original so memorable, and the addition of Ms. Chalice even makes the base game retroactively more accessible.

    Cuphead is a demanding game, and the Last Delicious Course is just as tortuous. The new gameplay, courtesy of Ms Chalice's arrival, provides the opportunity to encounter new and even more fearsome bosses. The addition of new weapons and charms also gives the base game a second breath. The art direction and soundtrack are as effective as ever. The developers at MDHR brilliantly took advantage of this long break to gift us with a true gem. Like a fine wine, this DLC has taken its time to age and give us its best and last delicious course.
