Everything great about the first game, this game does even better. And the few issues with the first game, this fixes. It is CONSIDERABLY harder, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective. But the story is much easier to follow, the platforming is tight and complex, the weapon system is fantastic. Can’t recommend highly enough if you like the original Blasphemous, metroidvanias in general or Soulslikes in general.
