Blasphemous 2 - PlayStation 5

The second scripture in the Blasphemous series portends the return of The Penitent One, with a story that continues from the free Wounds of Eventide DLC for the original game, where The Heart in the sky heralded the return of The Miracle and foretold the birth of a new miracle child. Awakened in a strange new land, and displaced from his final resting place, The Penitent One is thrust back into the endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection, with no other option than to explore this perilous new world and uncover its long-forgotten secrets. Hordes of grotesque enemies stand in your way, awaiting final judgement by the brutal hand of the Penitent One, with titanic twisted bosses also lurking in the darkness, waiting for their chance to return you to the grave from whence you came. Taking them down won’t be easy, but with Blasphemous 2 offering more chances to customise and improve your skill set, along with several new unique weapons to wield with righteous zeal and unending fury, victory might just be within grasp. Ultimately, only one thing is certain… Penance Never Ends

Review snippets: Blasphemous 2 is a stunning, brutally beautiful game that instantly reminded me of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The gothic atmosphere, interconnected world, and smooth combat all hit that same nostalgic note, while still feeling fresh and unique. The hand-drawn / Great game. A little different take compared to the first but makes it work and worth the buy. Read more
