[h1] MY PENANCE IS FAR FROM OVER [/h1] This is a wonderful sequel to an amazing game. In essence, this is Blasphemous but more. More weapons, more abilities, new areas, new enemies, and tons of great bosses. Not to mention, an incredible soundtrack and beautifully crafted world. I think this game improves on almost all the good notions of the last game, with a dash more polish. Overall, I think this game is a bit easier than its predecessor, with the exception of a few bosses that can quickly skill check you. Not sure if we'll get to see more from this series in the future, but I sure hope we do. [h1] THE THIRD PIECE OF CONTENT [/h1] Much to my surprise shortly after finishing the game, we get a second DLC with a ton of cool improvements to the game, as well as a new weapon and a huge new area. All completely free. This is the kind of labor of love you like to see in a game. I have nothing but respect for the developers and I'm delighted to get more extremely well made content. Great DLC. I'm upping the game score to... 9.5/10
Blasphemous 2 feels way better than the first one. I enjoyed every mint of this game, Graphics are very good, and genuienly this game isn`t very punishing, i don`t remember myself rage quitting. Also you have a bunch of weapons from which you can choose one to be main, but you will need to change between them. And regarding this new DLC. I gotta tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details. I was expecting that I will need to buy a new DLC and that it might cost even more than the last one, but no it is free and it is perfect. New weapon feels balanced, servants are kinda there but I am glad that they added them. Boss fights felt a bit challenging even on my 100% save, so my ratting for new DLC is 10/10.
The game itself is flawless and the latest DLC is a masterpiece. I can only hope the devs fix the bug related to the Full Devotion achievement. Other than that, 10/10 and a must play.
