Fantastic metroidvania game
Blasphemous has got some critisism for the controllers, but I totally disagree. It's a bit complicated in the beginning, yes, but you get charms to improve that functionality. "Hollow knight" controls would never work with this style of gameplay since it's supposed to be realistic pixel art gameplay. Japanese anime style controls would never work in a serious game like Blasphemous. But with the right charms, it gets close enough. It's a real metroidvania, and it's totally rad. It's quite similar to Castlevania 2 to the NES, but it's 100 times better. The religious spanish creepy inquisitor theme feels both familiar and unknown at the same time. It's like a pixel art horror movie in some way. There are multiple endings and tons of stuff to explore and to not explore until next time. I used the wiki myself quite a lot, but I would have preferred to do it without. Perfect atmosphere, great spanish guitar music, awesome pixel art graphics and a very creative experience in general. As a metroidvania fan, loving Hollow Knight, Pronty, Castlevania, The Messenger and similar games, this is a perfect game suitable for my taste. Ignore all negative reviews if you like the above games. 10/10. I've spent 30 hours this far since I want 100% completion and I'm at 90% right now.
