Blasphemous is a metroidvania with beautiful presentation and lots of catholic iconography that also takes a bit of inspiration from the Dark Souls series, namely the storytelling style and healing system.
I don't have much else to say, the game has solid controls, there's a solid rooster of enemies and bosses, and the experience is both focused and thematically consistent, but never monotonous. Everything looks like it belongs in a church that also wants to kill you.
I guess a potential negative I could mention is that a guide is most likely required to unlock certain things as the game is a little too cryptic at times. However, secrecy never gets in the way of beating the game, it's only optional content that can potentially be missed.
To conclude, I would recommend Blasphemous to anyone who enjoys metroidvanias, and isn't squeamish about blood or religious imagery.
