Amazing sequel that keeps everything great from the first game : beautiful pixelart, very satisfying gore animations, fascinating lore and world ...
And it just adds more. There's even more customization possibilities ; the 3 different weapons work really well as different playstyles, and each of them having their own plateforming abilities makes for great puzzles ; speaking of plateforming, this aspect has been clearly polished since the first game, it's way more enjoyable and there's no collision problems anymore ; the dungeons have their own mechanics and unique sequences, and the map structure is great, feels even more like a metroidvania ( too bad the second half of the game is way more linear, this really felt like a step back from the first game)
I guess it just felt a bit short ? Because the first game got a lot of free DLC, it had a lot of secret bosses and challenges, new game + ... Feels weird to finish Blasphemous 2 and that's just it.
(Also as I'm writing this, 1 week after launch, there are quite a lot of small visual bugs)
