plasmabeam 01/17/22 11:54:46 AM #25:	Blasphemous (PS4) 85% completion, 92% map, got the true ending. Final boss was an a**** yet reasonably challenging. The game's overall challenge was right at the sweet spot for me: kicking my ass often, while still creating momentum with smooth stretches of exploration and platforming. Quite similar to Metroid Dread's difficulty, which IMO was perfectly balanced between challenging and fair. Can't recommend Blasphemous enough to fans of SotN. It reminds me of the pre-Aria of Sorrow Castlevanias, where the focus was strictly on combat and platforming rather than collecting spells from enemies. I love that Blasphemous doesn't distract you with 42,838 different attacks/weapons/spells and instead focuses on a few attacks you can power up over the course of the game. Top-tier Metroidvania in my book. I'd only rank Super Metroid, Dread, SotN, and Order of Ecclesia above it. To be fair I haven't played Ori or Hollow Knight, but still... Blasphemous gripped me and reminded me why I love this genre so much in the first place. 10/10 from Plasma. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ <cite>plasmabeam posted [p:961821606] in Post Each ...
