Blasphemous 2

Writing a review of Blasphemous 2 is no picnic. We enjoyed it because we could both feel a real increase in our abilities as players and in those of our character. Simultaneously, we were disappointed by the lack of difficulty encountered, with the exception of a few completely unbalanced, sudden and infuriating peaks where we could see the strings of skill validation, all mixed with mechanics that were sometimes poorly thought out and frustrated us more than necessary. Fortunately, its polished atmosphere and the design of the NPCs, bosses and other creatures of the underworld offset the setting’s quite bland artistic direction. It is not a bad game, and it is even really enjoyable at times, but The Game Kitchen still has a long way to go before it manages to repent for its previous sins.
