If you're into challenging action platformer games, Blasphemous is as good as the next. It isn't perfect or revolutionary, but it doesn't have to be. Its lore and visual direction are disturbingly beautiful and craft an interesting and distinct world. Great boss fights and an enjoyable and challenging combat system ensures that fans of the genre will have enough to sink their teeth into and enjoy.

One thing that I would have liked to see in Blasphemous is a full-fledged fast traveling system, instead of the barebone one that we actually get. Still, Blasphemous is clearly a must-play title for those who love Souls-like mysteries and gameplay mechanics, just don't go in expecting a masterpiece.

Blasphemous is an amazing metroidvania which you've always looking for. Despite some platforming issues and random Weak enemies Spawns, any other elements in Blasphemous is in the right place. If you want to play a challenging metroidvania with unique art style, then Blasphemous is one of the best options you have,

Blasphemous could have been even a more ambitious title if its platforming parts was less annoying, but if you give it time, it will give you back a wonderful, entertaining experience. If you are a fan of Metroidvania or Dark Fantasies, then Blasphemous is definitely the one for you.

The aesthetic is incredible, and the map design of Cvstodia is solid and engaging. Unfortunately the game is too bogged down with a high difficulty level that is more tedious than challenging, dragging the entire experience down into something I can hardly bring myself to play. Blasphemous is a beautiful game that I wish I could enjoy more, but the extremely high difficulty of combat and platforming simply does not mesh well with the amount of exploration and backtracking needed from a world as expansive as this one.

There are better ways to get rid of your sins (and spend more quality time). Console version has some technical bugs that undermines the otherwise brilliant experience.

If you love SNES platformers and aren't concerned by the possibility of an angry god pressing its "smite" button to rain lightning upon you, Blasphemous is simply a must-play.

For an action-adventure title, inaccurate hit-boxes and level-design that's even slightly off can be a deal-breaker. Rather than get dragged down by its deficiencies, Blasphemous rises above to create a uniquely engaging experience.

I liked Blasphemous a lot, it is a well designed Metroidvania game (more Castlevania than Metroid) without the complexities of many modern titles. it has Castlevania's design philosophy and Dark Souls mechanics while creating a sorrowful world of its own. moment to moment gameplay is not as tight as Castlevania though.

If you can tolerate the super-annoying instant death traps and are a Metroidvania fan then I highly recommend Blasphemous.

From first glance during a Direct there was no question that Blasphemous, visually, was something pretty special...

The graphics move at a steady clip, taking on a "less is more attitude" and managing to convey a sense of foreboding and horror even without the most detailed, three-dimensional monsters to be found. The experience of Blasphemous is a delight and fans looking for a video game that will manage to present a fair challenge can pick this one up, knowing that they'll be playing one of the most disturbing, immersive experiences in video games this year. From the bloody graphics to haunting music, Blasphemous finds its way into your nightmares and is a game begging to be replayed, thanks to its fantastic gameplay.

Blasphemous is beautiful. Soaked in blood and covered in grime, it is clear that so much effort and vision was put into this game.

Blasphemous is a game that every lover of metroidvanias has to have. At the moment, it is not available in physical format, so it is almost a must-buy for title lovers, even more knowing that the money stays at home, since it is developed by a team of people from Seville. Entertaining, beautiful, addictive are qualifiers that perfectly define this title. Of course it can be improved, but you will not be disappointed if you play it.

Blasphemous is not just a video game; it is a digital anthropological artifact, elevating it to the best "Christian" game that I have ever played.

Action and 2D platforms with a deep and demanding combat system, and game features influenced by the great Dark Souls. All this wrapped in a magnificent pixel art and a perfect setting of a decadent and brutal world, with religion and all its imagery about guilt, sin, punishment, etc. as a central theme We will gladly handle the Penitent through the inhospitable land of Cvstodia, killing any enemy that crosses our path. Great.

Blasphemous is a great addition to the genre and it truly feels like a unique creation able to stand fine on its own without taking too much from other games out there. The world and lore are fantastic and enough to keep anyone with a passing interest engrossed to the very end.
