  • Summary: The second scripture in the Blasphemous series portends the return of The Penitent One, with a story that continues from the free Wounds of Eventide DLC for the original game, where The Heart in the sky heralded the return of The Miracle and foretold the birth of a new miracle child.The second scripture in the Blasphemous series portends the return of The Penitent One, with a story that continues from the free Wounds of Eventide DLC for the original game, where The Heart in the sky heralded the return of The Miracle and foretold the birth of a new miracle child.

    Awakened in a strange new land, and displaced from his final resting place, The Penitent One is thrust back into the endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection, with no other option than to explore this perilous new world and uncover its long-forgotten secrets.

    Hordes of grotesque enemies stand in your way, awaiting final judgement by the brutal hand of the Penitent One, with titanic twisted bosses also lurking in the darkness, waiting for their chance to return you to the grave from whence you came.

    Through all the beauty and bloodshed, Blasphemous 2 is a game that demonstrates why the pixel style endures and should be recognised as one of the best-looking games of the year. As you find yourself entrenched in its eerie environs, you will undoubtedly find it hard to put down.

    Blasphemous II crafts an intricate and satisfying world that is only accentuated by the gorgeously gruesome art. The Penitent One feels better to control than ever, and the amount of choice you have over your attacks and abilities compliments the game’s punishing combat brilliantly. Despite some niggles, Blasphemous II is a Metroidvania masterclass and an incredibly confident sequel.

    While fans of character-building gameplay in souls-likes might find themselves yearning for more, those with a nostalgic fondness for Symphony of the Night will discover solace in this extraordinary experience, deemed by many as the pinnacle of its kind. Prepare to be mesmerized by Blasphemous IIs' mesmerizing imagery and the Penitent One's valiant crusade for purification. The frantic mix of weapon swapping and fast-paced exploration show that the developers learned a lot from their last game and have fully embraced the metroidvania formula.

    Blasphemous 2 is a truly stand-out Metroidvania that is an easy recommendation for fans of the original and newcomers alike. From its detailed and fluid animations to its wide assortment of gameplay improvements, Blasphemous 2 is everything a sequel to the already-strong Blasphemous should be. Although it isn’t as consistently challenging as its formidable art direction and clear Soulslike influence would suggest, the core experience of Blasphemous 2 is still something fans of 2D platformers and Metroidvania exploration are sure to greatly appreciate.

    Blasphemous 2 builds on what the original instalment did well while improving on it's shortcomings to end up with a fun and addictive metroidvania.

    If you're a fan of the genre, I'd say this is the best Metroidvania 2023 will see, and I also think it's a must for fans of the first one and a redemption for those who thought it was too stiff.

    While it commits its fair share of game design sins, Blasphemous 2 delivers a rewarding, unsettling Metroidvania that's worthy of some devotion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esta feo que lo diga yo. Simplemente escribo esto para compensar algún cero o un uno. Que el juego te puede gustar más o menos, pero un cero? Muy severo no? Yo que sé, tan mal está? Expand

    Mejor en TODO que su predecesor. Con un estilo más metroidvania, esta secuela mejora el movimiento y su fluidez, la progresión de habilidadesMejor en TODO que su predecesor. Con un estilo más metroidvania, esta secuela mejora el movimiento y su fluidez, la progresión de habilidades y las posibilidades que dan en el desarrollo de la partida. El apartado artístico es una locura, la música y la parte visual es sobresaliente, con un pixel art que podría ser número uno de la historia de los videojuegos. Todo esto a precio reducido
    Todo el mundo debería probarlo, y si te gusta el género, ya estás tardando.

    The game is truly incredible, it takes everything good from blasphemous 1 and not only builds upon it, but elevates it.

I openly disliked blasphemous 1 for its sluggish gameplay mechanics. So much so I have it a bad rating. However I still finished it because the world and lore were utterly compelling. The sequel is a genuine masterpiece and it ties my all time GOAT hollow knight (yes I said it). Combat is fun and fluid and engaging. Traversing through the world and backtracking is an absolute joy. The music the world. It’s all incredible. These devs deserve a big pat on the back and your dollars. Expand
