Smart, brutal and occasionally unfair, Blasphemous is a relatively conservative take on Metroidvania that is still very much worth playing.

Blasphemous is probably not the best metroidvania you can find right now on Xbox, but surely it is one of the most special and personal.

If you can tolerate the super-annoying instant death traps and are a Metroidvania fan then I highly recommend Blasphemous.
Blasphemous is a twisted take on religion and Metroidvanias, providing great combat, fantastic visuals and a world that's soaked in both blood and well-written lore
It's hard, it's gory and has some of the best classic gameplay mechanics in it's genre. It's so well crafted, it's difficult to stay indiferent to it.

Blasphemous is a fascinating and intricate game with bias in dark Catholicism that offers a host of enemies, abilities and locations for painstaking research. Well executed bosses with original mechanics and a powerful atmosphere should please fans of the genre, despite some issues with platforming and goals closer to the end of the story.

Lack of depth and variety, and some platforming missteps, stain an otherwise great, oppressive experience.
Blasphemous is an exciting dark-fantasy adventure with religious undertones, yet it struggles to maintain its poise throughout.
From start to finish Blasphemous kept me engaged. Even when I reached the end I just wanted the game to keep going. I'm not the biggest fan of its approach to storytelling but the combat and exploration borrows from the best the genre has to offer.
Blasphemous is a mostly solid action platformer. Beautiful yet grotesque artwork and fun moment-to-moment gameplay is held back by a few instances of badly flawed level design and some questionable boss mechanics. If you can get past the flaws there's a lot to enjoy here for fans of platformers and for lore hounds that enjoy teasing out meaning from a cryptic story.
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.
All in all, Blasphemous is a fun game. It provides challenging enemies and platforming sections, but some challenges are less difficult and more unfair. Still, Blasphemous is a demanding experience that will make you feel rewarded for your tribulations.
Blasphemous takes a few well trodden genres and mashes them into something that is fun, rewarding and downright beautiful. Its story, themes and macabre nature will not suit everyone but I could not get enough of it. Its difficulty is near-perfect, not too hard but enough of a challenge to please most players. Metroidvania fans, Souls-like fans and gamers who want a challenge will revel in this games gorgeously crafted world. Its a brilliantly crafted experience that needs to be played.
Blasphemous gets so much right, but also creates its own identity with its stellar art style, tight gameplay and platforming, and unique cast of characters
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.

As it stands in its current form, I will say that if Blasphemous’ aesthetic interests you even a little, or if you’re a fan of metroidvania-style games, then it’s absolutely worth checking out in its current form.
Praise be to Blasphemous, for it's an impressive game that has truly joined together the peanut-butter-and-chocolate-style union that is souls-likes and metroidvania games.
