Blasphemous Reviews
Blasphemous is beautiful. Soaked in blood and covered in grime, it is clear that so much effort and vision was put into this game.
Blasphemous on the Nintendo Switch stands out right away with its fantastic pixel art depicting a desolate and inhospitable scenario. But there's a lot more to Blasphemous than its marvelous visual environment, the game has an amazing combat mechanic and its Metroidvania design coupled with platforms provides a world that is well worthy to explore, even after the game's main quest is completed.

Blasphemous is a game that every lover of metroidvanias has to have. At the moment, it is not available in physical format, so it is almost a must-buy for title lovers, even more knowing that the money stays at home, since it is developed by a team of people from Seville. Entertaining, beautiful, addictive are qualifiers that perfectly define this title. Of course it can be improved, but you will not be disappointed if you play it.

If you're into challenging action platformer games, Blasphemous is as good as the next. It isn't perfect or revolutionary, but it doesn't have to be. Its lore and visual direction are disturbingly beautiful and craft an interesting and distinct world. Great boss fights and an enjoyable and challenging combat system ensures that fans of the genre will have enough to sink their teeth into and enjoy.
Blasphemous is an admirable piece of art. It does the whole metroidvania thing in a much less tedious way than most indie games do these days, and is bolstered by its distinct flavour and style.
Blasphemous is not just a video game; it is a digital anthropological artifact, elevating it to the best "Christian" game that I have ever played.
One thing that I would have liked to see in Blasphemous is a full-fledged fast traveling system, instead of the barebone one that we actually get. Still, Blasphemous is clearly a must-play title for those who love Souls-like mysteries and gameplay mechanics, just don't go in expecting a masterpiece.
Blasphemous' main and major positive aspect is its dense and unusual atmosphere. The game design was played just a bit too safe, though.

Blasphemous finds success by adhering to staples of the genre and executing them well. Coupled with its strong art style and design, it’s a great option for anyone seeking another Metroidvania fix. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it proudly shows off its visual personality.
Blasphemous is postulated as one of the indies of the year, a great metroidvania, demanding and with a wonderful artistic design and a fascinating lore based on the culture and art of southern Spanish.

Blasphemous is a merciless Metroidvania with a satisfying combat, despite the weak platforming, its boss fights are extremely entertaining and the art style is amazing, as it establishes a very engaging setting.

Besides the astonishing art design and the rich and imaginative dark-fantasy world, Blasphemous doesn't know how to mix perfectly the different genres it belongs to.

While lacking in sheer variety, what's there is solid. The art style and atmosphere is spectacular, and combat is intense and bloody.
Blasphemous Is A Title With Appealing Atmosphere And Enjoyable Gameplay. Although Some Flaws In Platforming, Storytelling, And Other Aspects Damages The Experience To Some Extend But Still The Game Is An Amusing Title For Metroidvania Fans

Overall, I’d say Blasphemous is a must-play if you’re a fan of Souls-like adventuring, classic Metroidvania or if you just want to set off on a dark pilgrimage to unholy lands. There may be a few issues that hinder the experience here and there (some of which are supposedly being patched as we speak), but this is still one of my favorite gaming experiences of 2019, and I think horror fans will especially appreciate the work that went into crafting this terrifying world.
Blasphemous is an absolutely stunning game everyone should see in motion.
If you love the Metroidvania, the challenging platforms, the detailed Pixel Art and the highly gloomy, heavy and terrifying atmospheres, this game should be a must in your library.

Blasphemous is an excellent metroidvania, that doesn't evolve the genre, but combines the spirit of Prince of Persia, Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night in one magnificent-looking package.

Blasphemous is one of the most interesting metroidvanias recently. It offers a great gameplay and exquisite visual presentation. A simple sound production and several technical errors can be annoying, but they do not prevent you from appreciating the great quality of this game.
