This is a flawed but fun metroidvania-like game. It is hard, but unlike the great games like Hollow Knight this game can also be unfair. You can get hit by enemies that are off-screen, causing you to fall onto instant-death spikes for example. The upgrades and collectables are alright, but many of them didn't seem all that useful while others that are well hidden are extremely useful. The final flaw that is exclusive to the GOG-version is that there sadly is no Linux version. When I found out I had to refund and buy it on Steam, which is a shame.
First...the good.
Up until a few days ago I WAS LOVING this game. I enjoyed the world and mythology, and even the long winded, and overly verbose story plot given by NPCs. The music (EASILY THE BEST OST of 2019), the atmosphere...basically a Side scrolling Dark Souls game.
The bad...far outweighs the good, unfortunately.
I returned the other night to play the game after a long day at work....ONLY to find all my save data gone. Just VANISHED. So I had to play through GoG...and my game was partially saved...? I'm not tech savvy, but what I do know is that I shouldn't have to try and find a work around to play a game on a PC that, up until a few days, ago, played just fine. To add insult to injury, on my reluctant second playthrough...I FOUND I COULD NOT UPGRADE my CHARACTER. Mea Culpa stayed at ONE. I perused forums and found nothing that helped.
The technical issues are too much, removing me from what was hoping would be an amazingly fun and dark story for me to immerse myself in. Such was not the case, and I wound up uninstalling this game from my PC. Maybe, when the Devs learn their "masterpiece" is broken and flawed in a very important and fundamental way, I'll reinstall it. Right now...it's not even syncing right with my PC. 2/5

I felt immersed in the world and story, but basic exploration became a real chore, especially in the later hours of the game. Metroid Dread is my gold standard for post-2010s games in this genre. Blasphemous is more of a 2D Dark Souls than a Metroidvania, to be fair.
It's enjoyable, but only if you're willing to deal with brutal and sometimes unfair combat, glitchy platforming, and instadeath spike pits and chasms. Also, you absolutely need all the weapon upgrades for the final two bosses.
So, their first games were The Last Door games, which were phenomenal point and click adventures that had a mix of vibes from Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. Loved every second of both seasons.
Now, imagine my surprise that their second game jumps into the metroid-vania realm! Completely different type of game, and they still killed it. This has quickly become one of my favorite games.
It is heavily inspired by Spanish Catholicism for it's art style and music, but it creates its own warped, corrupt religion that you're character must confront. The Miracle has it's beauty, but also has created grotesqueness beyond description. As the Penitent One you wield a magical/blessed sword and face off against the terrors that The Miracle has created.
The music is beautiful, the atmosphere is very gothic and dark, with a mix of moments of beauty thrown in. The controls are perfect, with abilities increasing as you progress and new abilities to learn along the way. Also, lots of hidden stuff! Religious relics, rosary beads, and now with the DLC's plenty of hidden rooms where other events occur. The collector inside of you will have a field day.
Such a beautiful game! I can't say that enough. I know some might be concerned with the subject matter... Like, "Is it really blasphemous, though?" My answer to this is you must follow your own convictions. I have my own religious views, which do not coincide with Spanish Catholicism, and I don't disrespect others who may hold to that, but even though at times this game felt like it was hitting a little too close to home when it used certain words to describe certain aspects of the false religion portrayed in the game, I reminded myself that it is a made up religion used in the game. Despite it's inspiration, it does not seem to be poking fun at anyone's beliefs, just borrowing terminology and situations as inspiration. I really enjoyed the game overall.
If this sounds interesting to you at all you really should check it out!
So in short this is Dark Souls+Shinobi+Dantes Inferno+Castlevania Symphony of the Night, with other various influences.
The ambience, although not for everyone, is gorgeous and unsetingly captivating.
The lore is mysterious and fullfilling.
The music is a visceral ambience/drone/orchestra that fit this game so well.
The sound effects are just what you expect in this type of games, great overall.
This game is long and the maps are giant with tons of secrets, enemies and upgrades so as you advance you can and will upgrade your character and collect items in a Dark Souls way but a tone down.
It has potencial for maybe 3 runs replayability because if you have tha patience you can almost see it all in one run but there are somethings that only other paths reveal and you can easilly miss them.
The gameplay is deep enough but still needs some ajustments on the controls as no upper diagonal slashing, somtimes dificult ledge grabing release , and some minor bugs as saves sometimes disapear, enemies pop in or out and when you die sometimes places your recovery point in lethal places... need fixing too.
The game is heavilly inspired in Symphony of the Night(Gameplay/Presentation) and Dantes Inferno(Lore/Presentation) Dark Souls ( Items and Lore) but presented in a "sidescroll/platformer dark souls combat" kind of way, if that makes sense.
This game is very solid, very well imagined, very dificult for the impatient and overall a great game.
It show that more and more the developers are doing the right thing...learning from the past.
When the issues are fixed it becomes a 10/10.
A no brainer buy.
