Level design is extremely boring, tons of really uninspired bosses, more feature bloat than you would expect (skill trees on weapons add nothing to the game), and poorly rendered amateurish anime-inspired cutscenes. The best thing about this game, similar to the first one, is the absolutely immaculate and stunning pixel art and animation. The visual design of Blasphemous 2 lends a sense of gravitas to the game that it probably doesn't really deserve.
