    This is just one of those games that absolutely blows my mind. The puzzles are fun, combat weapons are fantastic, upgrades are worthy, boss fights are outstanding and this **** soundtrack absolutely slaps. Don’t sleep on this masterpiece.

    A worthy follow-up, which improves in almost every way. Varied weapons, skill tree, a nice mix of platforming to complement the combat.

Varied weapons, skill tree, a nice mix of platforming to complement the combat. I would appreciate more standard enemies instead of just variants (different colour with different element of damage). The bosses are overall fair and generally well telegraphed, although the difficulty curve starts well, then seems to go all over the place, as with later bosses feeling far easier than beginning (this could be from reflexes improved or better abilities/magic). This can be apparent with enemies later that their main difficulty is they take half your health bar with a hit (yes, this can be mitigated with appropriate items etc).

    Audio and music are serviceable, yet I felt I loved the music more this time round. If you are a completionist, this game is very doable, however, there is some very obscure achievements/items that seem a little too vague just because they can, such as the finding of 10 hidden symbols. The NPC's and bosses and some death animations are still grotesque as ever. The Game Kitchen took to heart feedback from the original and made this truly what defines a sequel. Worth the price point and can't wait for DLC (there was 3 in the original). Kudos devs.    … Expand

    Esta feo que lo diga yo. Simplemente escribo esto para compensar algún cero. Que el juego te puede gustar más o menos, pero un cero? Muy severo no? Yo que sé tan mal está?

    Una completa maravilla, si la primera parte te gustó esta segunda parte roza el techo, para mi el mejor metroidvania que ha salido en mucho tiempo, las posibilidades y puzzles que te ofrecen las tres armas junto a los poderes nuevos lo hacen un juego muy bestia, los bosses un 10, la música tiene unas piezas increibles, otro 10, a la espera de dlcs

    Really cool metroidvania. Maybe even better than the first. Only complaint is that the difficulty was poorly balanced. Often a bit too easy, sometimes really quite hard. Made some possibly interesting bossfights miss the opportunity of really having to learn patterns, and others annoyingly repetitive. Oh, and old men talk too slow

    Masterpiece. Muy accesible para jugadores no acostumbrados a los metroidvania... y a un precio de salida fenomenal.... Recomendado.

    Stunning game. Almost everything Is an improvement from the First game. The soundtrack Is beautiful, the pixel art Is really detailed and the animations are fluid. The combat system has improved too and Is more fun and offers more possibilities to approach a fight. The enemies are diverse (except for a couple of reskins).

The enemies are diverse (except for a couple of reskins). The boss fight (although sometimes a bit Easy) are very fun and well designed. The exploration Is as good as the original but at least spikes don't kill in One hit anymore. The only downgrades from the original in my opinioni are the inventory, that Is less detailed then the One in the First game, and the lack of finisher animations (the animations are good but only some enemies have them). The atmosphere Is in general less dark and there are more vibrant areas, but the game still has his dark moments. The cutscenes are now animated, I personally like It but that Is up to you. In conclusion a great and fun game, really looking forward to the DLCs that Will definitely improve this game even more.… Expand

    It's a perfect sequel. I don't know what more you could ask for if you loved the first game.

    Blasphemous 2 felt incredibly good to play despite its challenging nature and complex combat. It’s a great Soulslike 2D action-platformer that doesn’t rely on nonsense gimmicks that make the game artificially difficult for the sake of being punishing. Its exploration, art direction, and worldbuilding are unmatched in a sea of modern Metroidvanias released in 2023. If you’re down for a good challenge or path of penitence in a Roman Catholic-inspired 2D platformer, look no further. Like it or not, you will pay for your gameplay sins.

    An aggravating mix of truly gorgeous visuals and some fun platforming challenges with unsatisfying combat. It feels often flat, and doesn’t live up to the first game. [Issue#32, p.72]

    Our pilgrimage is one marked by the cuts and bruises we accumulate along the way, yet we find ourselves encouraged by a familiar mantra: how sweet the pain, indeed, when it is our own. [Issue#389, p.106]
