Gorgeous art style
Improved combat with weapon variety
Tedious backtracking
Blasphemous 2 is a 2D Metroidvania game that continues the dark, gothic journey of the Penitent One. Critics praise its gorgeous art style, improved combat mechanics, and brutal boss encounters. The expanded weapon system, deeper exploration, and challenging puzzles are appreciated, though some critics find the backtracking tedious and note the final act as slightly underwhelming. Its combination of Metroidvania exploration and Soulslike difficulty creates a gripping experience, but its narrative might be cryptic for some players.
