“Blassphemous 2 is an excellent metro-level and a noticeable improvement compared to the original, even if it sometimes forced me to cancel plans for lunch due to its grotesque. The lack of originality of design with more than compensated by the bizarre world, a terrifying history and inspiring appearance and sound. New weapons and focus on platforming definitely helped me to maintain pleasure throughout a significant part of a long campaign, even when the not impressive variety of enemies and uncompromising bosses left much to be desired. It will be difficult for you to find something better while you continue the endless expectation of Hollow Knight: Silksong, ”- IGN.
