yo LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This game is so GOOD, I'm so ready to dive in again.

also, Miriam looks great, I also enjoyed Bloodstained, but Blasphemous just grabbed my by the balls.

I was the exact opposite! Beat blasphemous and thought it was good, but Bloodstained had me hooked, man. This announcement is actually tempting me to go back and play Bloodstained instead of Blasphemous 😅
 
Such a weird crossover. I might have to replay Blasphemous despite hating the game with every fiber of my being.
I did complete it and even mopped up some achievements; but they tried too hard to make it the "Dark Souls of Metroidvania", so the difficulty was unfair with plenty of cheap deaths that sucked the fun out of it.

It scored some points for the mega freaky turbo Catholicism setting.
 
This is the best side-scroller I've played in decades. The gameplay, lore, and art style (ACTUAL SPRITES) are second to none. And it keeps getting better.

I really like many things about this game but couldn't cope with the frustration related to the difficulty. I'm sure I could make it if I invest enough time but I rather try more games (there are so many!).
 
Blasphemous is such a fantastic game, I hope a sequel is in the works. Much respect to its team, it's from Sotn I wasn't hook on the genre as with this one.
 
They did actually tweak a lot of ledge collision detection with the Stir of Dawn patch, so the game is more generous with not getting you killed on spikes most of the time as it used to on launch
 
This game is so hard to get into, it's not great, it's been hyped way too much.

"obscure for the sake of obscure" bullshit.

When it launched there was lag in the response of so many things, I don't know if they fixed that, but it's too late now, the demo left a bad taste.
