gamesreviews.com:

We live in a world where we get so many different varieties of video games, one genre that has been on the rise in popularity in the past years is Metroridvania. And we are close to the release date of one of the most popular Metroidvanias that many fans enjoy playing, and that is Blasphemous IIwhich is published by Team 17 and developed by The Game Kitchen. The first Blasphemous was released back in 2019 and even now it is still one of the most positive and popular Metroidvania games.

If you wanted a Metroidvania that, did it right for once, then Blasphemous II is it. After exploring the new areas of this game, I believe that this updated version has all the elements that a Metroidvania lover would seek. From exploration to platforming, upgraded weapons and attacks as well as puzzle incorporation, finally a game has created a perfection of a pixelated souls-like.

The Gameplay  

Blasphemous II begins its journey sometime after the final DLC of the first game. I assumed that we were going to get a completely new character in this game. However, the Penitent One returns in the second game awakening in a strange land and on a mission to uncover the mysteries of something known as “The Miracle”, who is about to give birth and thus, you are awakened to stop it.

The lore of the game is challenging to understand, it is comparable to that of games such as Hollow Knight where to understand the game in-depth, you would need to play through the game to uncover its mysteries. Nevertheless, as usual, Blasphemous does not disappoint in the amount of dark fantasy and eerie discoveries. It is more grotesque and horrific, with even more blood and gore than the last game.
