Blasphemous

Developers disrespectful of players. There's an unmarked, untelegraphed "point of no return" in this game. If you pass it, you will NOT be able to get the various endings. You MUST use a guide to find this out. If you do not, the game forces you not only to replay, but to replay on a higher difficulty (for an already really tough game -- so outside the realm of possibility for many if not most players). There is a work-around to modify your save game. Other than that, the game itself is great. Probably 4/5, but pushed up to 5/5 because of the amazing art.

Disclaimer: the game has somewhat disturbing graphics. They are great, amazing even and perfectly evoke the atmosphere the game is going for, but just be advised that these may not be for everyone. Review: The game is a solid entry in the metroulsvania genre. If this is your jam, then you are likely to appreciate it. Outside it's atmosphere (great visual and sound design) I wouldn't say it's grounbreaking, and it definitely has its faults, but it is still a fine entry in its genre. However, if 2D soulslikes aren't your thing, this game probably won't be the one that will change your mind. While the game has quite a lot going for it (atmosphere, some fun challenge at times, satisfying progression), some elements of the game are quite underwhelming, with several game design issues being apparent. The character progression is rather uninspired (while the game throws a lot of character progression screens at you, only a few elements make a noticeable impact on the game)m the pacing isn't perfect (the game can be a bit of a slog at times) and the difficulty drops noticeably after some time. The combat is a bit hit and miss with a lot of skills or tricks just not being useful or fun to use. It's still fine, but with low variety it gets tedious at times. The game design just seems a bit undercooked. All in all, I’d give the game 3,5 stars, but rounding it down to 3 wouldn't seem fair - the atmosphere itself is deserving of a better rating. Please also note that there is a serious (although avoidable) bug with the game. Whenever i played with an unstable internet connection, the game had a problem with cloud saving, that could effectively erase most of my progression (even going from 80% to 20%). There is a way to recover a later save (with much less progress lost) and turning off uploading to cloud should probably save you from the bug entirely, but when it happened to me (and it happened several times), it's a massive pain.

The game is grate, but the version for GOG is missing the latest update and DLC Stir of dawn

Une direction artistique fouillée et impressionnante Une difficulté bien dosée si ne s'aventure pas trop tôt dans certaines zones Une ambiance sonore parfaite Un scénario nébuleux qui s'avère terrifiant Une belle réussite, rien à dire
