Not so conviced about it
I expected blasphemous but I got generic metroidvania instead. My score is low because I saw something much different first time, so my expectation was high either. I suppose that devs wish to got wider audience, so in return they has to tone down some things, but if old fans will get something which is too far from their expectations, then they will leave. I do not like boss fights anymore. First game delivered bosses much better - big or large character sprites, very challenging with heavy music. Now in b2 sprites have to be average to small in terms of size. I love soundtrack from most of boss fights in b1, but I can not recall any OST from b2 for some reason. Finishing animations were really attractive and unique, but in b2 only one or 2 animations survived and they are generic to most of enemies. Strange, that was selling point of b1. Nobody have realized that, really? Technically graphics stay on much better level in b2 compared with b1 but I remember only few locations from b2, where in b1 I remember all of them. Difficulty is not challenging in b2 for me. Easy should be easy, hard should be hard. B1 was spot on but b2 tries to encourage newcomers. Nothing bad about it but don't force that on old fans because they will leave. I'am waiting for DLCs, They may not come or will not fix anything, but only hope was left in case of b2. I rather not concerning b3 if b2 will not get any improvements earlier. I'm disappointed so much. Too much...
