“Not only is it downright gorgeous, but the gameplay is uniformly excellent and hunting for its many secrets make it a puzzle well worth exploring.”

(9/10 – PC Invasion)

“Blasphemous is an excellent metroidvania with a fantastically realized setting and gorgeous, albeit barbaric, aesthetic. Highly recommended.”
(10/10 – CG Mag Online)

I find the game interesting, a good metroidvania, but many mechanics are wasted or not very useful, such as the attacks you get when you improve. The difficulty of the bosses compared to the areas is very low, and many objects are very difficult to find. From then on, it seems to me to be a fulfilling game.

Setting and aesthetics are amazing. Great lore. Combat is decent. Punishing difficulty, seems unfair at times. Cryptic side quests, no clear direction in story. No way of keeping track of quests nor story. Stupid amount of backtracking. Most of the time I found myself wondering around with no clear direction or goal. It could have been a great game if it wasn’t for it’s game design. A big shame.
