This was my first platformer and tbh i was never too interested in the genre, but the visuals alone in this made me wanna give it a try. And let me just say, the art is absolutely stunning, this is probably one of the most gorgeous and stylistic games i've ever seen, i have a love for pixel art, so this game just had me in awe. The animations, enemy designs, map designs, boss aesthetics. its such a visually striking game and i honestly cant praise the artists enough. As for gameplay i enjoyed it for the most part. Some bosses were ridiculously difficult though, might be partly my fault for being kinda ass, but i felt the mechanics for some to be slightly unfair n cheap tbh. i.e the massive uncontrollable knock backs, enemy attacks mixed w unblockable projectiles, stunlocks, enemies attacking while flying off the screen etc. Overall this game is FRUSTRATING, like hair pulling levels of frustration sometimes, almost as if the devs purposefully made it to be as annoying and non forgiving as possible, whoever decided to add insta-killing spikes, i literally dispise u with all my heart lol. One of my biggest gripes tho was how the game handles optional content. I’m someone who prefers 100%ing games, and trying to perfect this was an absolute nightmare. There were so many moments where i couldn’t obtain an item or missed a key moment, because i either did something unknowingly that conflicted with it or waited too long. You don’t need these to progress, but missing out on them was super annoying. for example, I spent nearly two hours fighting two bosses and got a left and right eye as my reward, only to find out I was too late to trade them in, so all that effort felt so wasted. Another downside was how much I had to look up stuff. Figuring out certain quests was a borderline chore at times because of how cryptic n vague some of them were, plus the many obscure secrets and hidden areas that felt impossible to find on your own unless you got super lucky, like hitting a random blank wall to unlock a hidden room. It just isnt realistic and so many will miss out on cool items. I also found it quite strange how dummy linear the game wants you to go in order for you to achieve a "good" ending, it feels nearly impossible to get this ending w/o looking it up. On top of that, the "bad" ending was pretty disappointing imo. Checked out the good ending on yt and it looks 1000x better, which sucks even more knowing that like 90% of the players will probably only ever see the bad one in their first run. It just don't make sense to me at all. I still had a fun time overall tho. Despite the frustrating parts, many of the boss fights were still enjoyable, navigating around the map while finding new items n areas was a bit annoying in certain areas but still very fun, story was a bit confusing at times but still super cool, music was also surprisingly good aswell, and I’ll honestly never forget how stunning the art is. This game definitely has its issues tho, and i honestly just wish they didn't make this game so purposefully frustrating and punishing for the average player, but ig that's just the way it is 7.5/10

I don’t usually like Metroidvanias or Souls-like games, but this is a masterpiece I regret not playing sooner. The game draws heavily from Spanish Catholic culture, which I love. One of the areas is even literally based on the real-life Mezquita of Cordoba. The music is also great and fits the atmosphere perfectly. The medieval gothic vibes in this are simply immaculate and don't give Hot Topic at all. I'm admittedly not great with super difficult games, but this was still very playable and enjoyable for me. Here are some tips if you’re a casual but want to enjoy this game (and I suggest you do because the setting is worth the effort): – Explore in this order: Mercy Dreams → Cistern → Mountains → Olive Trees → Bridge. After the bridge, go down first and save the Rooftops/Wall for last. – If you want to make the game even easier, look up a map to find hidden HP and MP upgrades. – Pick up everything, and if you can’t reach something, mark it on the map for later. If you can’t beat a boss it’s probably because you lack upgrades or haven’t figured out its attack pattern. Most bosses in this game are actually a breeze (and I'm not good at games). The only critiques I have is that some quests are time-sensitive or require doing things in a strict order, and a lot of content can be easy to miss without a guide. That’s typical for the genre, though. What really annoyed me were the lantern jumps. Also the Miriam levels were designed by a demon.

Great Game, the controls were a bit troublesome at first but I could get used to it rather quickly, also you can pet dogs.

Sorrowful Be the Gamer If you're like me—impatient, easily bored, historically bad at video games, and somehow still convinced you could enjoy them—Blasphemous is here to torment and ultimately convert you. This game slapped me so hard with its spiked censer that I came out the other side a changed person. I now have patience (??), better timing (??), and an emotional attachment to a man in a pointy hat who never speaks but suffers so beautifully. I died. A lot. So often it could’ve been its own achievement. I lost all my Tears of Atonement trying to retrieve my guilt, was impaled by every spike imaginable, and got relentlessly demolished by That Bull Thing™. I ragequit, came back, died again—and somehow loved every minute of it. Graphics Absolutely gorgeous. From bloodstained cathedrals to haunting pixel-lit skies, the art direction is visually divine. The Penitent One’s hat is a 10/10 fashion choice. There is drip in the penance. Music Dear god. The soundtrack drenched me in misery. Atmospheric and hauntingly beautiful, it drags you into the depths of Cvstodia with no hope of return. Special shoutout to Miriam’s Challenge music—it genuinely made me lose my mind. I might be humming it in my grave someday. Lore Confusing at first, especially if you have memory issues or the attention span of a damp sponge (me). It’s all hidden in item descriptions, cryptic NPC dialogue, and the corpses of people who seem weirdly chill about being dead. But on my second run and NG+, it started to click—and I was hooked. It’s twisted, tragic, and disturbingly beautiful. “For twisted are, were, and will be, the paths of the Miracle.” Trauma. Suffering. I love it. Highlights - Constant emotional damage - Miserable, beautiful women (Laudes, I love you) - The world hurts , but in a good way - Actually improved my patience, somehow - Killed by stairs. Repeatedly. Verdict 10/10 would get spiritually destroyed again. (Which I will, time for my 3rd run.) Sorrowful be the heart, penitent ones.
