Blasphemous 2

el avance desde el 1 a este juego es enorme mejoro el mayor punto negativo del 1 que fue el plataformeo

This is such a giant step up from the first game! Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ masterpiece. It's a pity I'm not a native speaker so it's hard for me to truly appreciate that archaic, sophisticated, kinda biblical writing.

Blasphemous 1 is one of my favorite metroidvanias, losing only to SOTN, that being said, that was a disappointing sequel, it's a great game, but it felt inferior to the first one in most ways. Art is still top notch, pretty much the best you can find, but i don't like the animated cutscenes, they look too plain when compared to the highly detailed pixel art. Music is again best class, no complaints there. Gameplay is when things start to go wrong, the multiple weapons idea is pretty cool in theory, but changing them during gameplay feels kinda wonky, the upgrades are okay, nothing wrong with them, but also nothing to write home about. The rosary beads are fine, the altar pieces are actually really interesting, hope the team explores it further in a Blasphemous 3 or similar project. Bosses are my main disappointment, why do all of them just spam projectiles your way? Imagine my disappointment when i finally get to fight a knight expecting a good brawl and all he does is throws projectiles and summons minions, i think Asterion is the boss i liked the most but even he doesn't escape the projectile spam category. Another big gripe i had was the dialog, it felt like everyone was speaking a lot of word without actually saying much, at first i thought it was to deliberately give the player the impression of attending a mass, the flowering, the repetition, it all fits the aesthetics of the game, but i found it tiresome, something i really don't remember happening in the Blasphemous 1, but maybe i'm remembering the original through rose-tinted glasses. I did not liked the Mea Culpa DLC, even though it is nice to see an old friend, it didn't add much to experience, but again, Asterion is pretty cool. That being said, i LOVED the Third Sin, it's the Castlevania Konami refuses to give us, the vibes and aesthetics are perfect, the design is a lot more limited than the rest of the game, but it makes sense given the smaller scope. In the end, i think it's a great game, which is a shame considering it's predecessor was truly exceptional.

Substantially worse than the first game. as someone said, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. The exploration doesn't feel as rewarding as in the first game, and all the interesting puzzle rooms and secrets that were everywhere on the first game, are just gone and replaced with just combat arenas, every time, the game lock you in a room and hoard enemies at you, this is done way too many times to be fun. bosses are a miss bag some are good but others are just tedious and annoying to fight, sadly this game commit the sin of having a boss, but they just couldn't make it interesting to fight on its owns, so they just spawn annoying adds to cluter the fight, just terrible game design on most of them. The new weapons seems interesting at first but having to swap weapons in a row to explore rooms gets annoying and bothersome, they realise this because on the Mea Culpa DLC the sword is a merge of all the new weapons. The worst offender is the new game plus, on the first game you could get one penitence and finish the game to get a new rewards at the end, on this game the difficulty of new game plus is just too unbalanced, enemies do too much damage especially on boss fights, that can two shot your penitent, just not fun. To be honest, I had high expectations for the game but they just fumble the bag way too much for my like, the new game plus just sour the whole experience for me, I recommend just doing one playthrough of the game for a less frustrating experience, more than that is just unnecessary annoyance. I loved the first game, finished fourth times, but on this entry I cant bother to do a single new game plus A blasphemy/10

Nice game, but mumbling story

muy facil a comparación del primero, pero mas fluido el dibujo de las cinematicas dibujadas son horribles el resto esta muy bueno

Blasphemous II is the best Soulslike/Metroidvania I’ve ever played. A little masterpiece! The OST is absolutely fantastic and almost reason enough on its own to buy the game. The art style and enemy design are also incredible. The story is probably the most interesting one I’ve experienced since Dark Souls. For me, it’s definitely a 9/10 game and an absolute recommendation.
