Current Events > Dangit, Blasphemous is a metroidvania.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd be fine with this normally, but I'm still full from Hollow Knight. I thought it'd be sequential levels. Ah well, that's on me. It's pretty and controls well so far.

Blasphemous is pretty good. I don't know how much of Hollow Knight you played but it felt pretty easy compared to it. None of Blashemous' bosses felt too tough until the DLC, and I thought the complaints about its platforming were overblown. There are missables and NG+ exclusive content so don't be too worked up if you end up getting locked into the vanilla endings.

recently played this; a good game but frustrating as a metroidvania because A) a bunch of content (bosses) is NG+ exclusive and B) even then, the true ending is missable

also this is one of the most metal games of all time

I beat the shit out of Hollow Knight, though I didn't do the boss rush modes, I had had my fill by the time I was confident I could beat it. I haven't yet gotten to the/a second boss in Blasphemous, but I am noticing it feels quite a bit easier, not that that's a bad thing.

I thought the difficulty of the bosses was disappointingly easy. There was like 3 or 4 of them that left me going "that's it?"

I felt the same way until literally the last two bosses. I wish more of the base game was on par with the non-missable two bosses from Wounds of Eventide, but I still enjoyed the game fwiw. It's just that I started it expecting a hard game.

Dang, what is it, 2019?

Hollow Knight released back in 2017.

I couldnt stand Blasphemous though. I disliked the delay before the air drop attack, how you couldnt drop through a platform if you were hugging a wall and how non of the enviromental hazards killed anyone but you. *Watches enemies running around on massive spikes and and leaping through plumes of lava*.
