Ray writes; ‘Blasphemous is the equivalent of eating cheap and tasteless potato chips from a bag that has an amazing logo and art plastered all over it. Sure it looks great from the outside, but at the end of the day, you bought that bag of chips because you wanted to eat something, not just stare at the bag. While the pixel art is gorgeous to look at and the lore and music are quite delightful, the overall gameplay feels clunky and not really well executed.‘
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "If you’re looking for a title with exploration, platforming, and some challenging combat, this is a great experience that adds to 2019’s absolutely incredible line-up of releases. The problem is it’s a bad Metroidvania, which is a shame because this is an article series about Metroidvanias. If I do a series on Souls-likes, expect Blasphemous to be at the top of the list, but as far as Metroidvanias go it rates pretty low because it hardly even attempts to be part of the genre."
i initially wanted to play it cause of the art style, too me a while to actually find it, but damn did i love the game and the lore
The Humble Must-Play Metroidvania Bundle just launched with Blasphemous, Hollow Knight, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and more. As always, a percentage supports charity.
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
