Cuphead vs Vanquish
Cuphead
Cuphead is a run and gun action game using the classic animation style of the 1930’s. A very distinctive game this combines fast paced action with boss beating abilities that make for a furious and fun game. You step into the shoes of brothers Cuphead and Mugman. They made a deal with the Devil and now they have to collect the souls of other people in debt to the man.This has created a really interesting game style, and along with your fire blasting fingers there are lots of special attacks and powerups that you can use from the coins you make in the levels. Each boss is unique and has its own abilities for you to overcome. The pacing of the game is really great and the artistic style is one not to be missed. All in all this is a fantastic action game full of fun.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
