Elise Farvis from Game Informer got some hands-on time with the (yes, actually!) forthcoming Cuphead from Studio MDHR while attending Gamescom this week. The title sounds just as punishing as it's been made out to be previously, but it also looks like it's a lot of fun, especially with a friend.

God's Trigger, Techland's new co-op title, was announced earlier this week at Gamescom, and folks have finally gotten some hands-on time with it. Most descriptions are lauding it as a "co-op Hotline Miami," which sounds alright to me.

Microsoft showed off more of the Xbox One X this week at Gamescom, but they also sat down with many of the developers that are working on games for the Xbox One console. Jeff Strain, founder of Undead Labs, popped in for a bit to talk about State of Decay 2 and just a little bit about the new co-op feature.
