This game...is truly a masterpiece. My first (2D) souls-like game, and ohhhhh boy, I am glad I began with Blasphemous. Once you get the hang of it, the gameplay brings joy (especially after learning the attack patterns of bosses XD). The story is perfect with nice short cutscenes and a great soundtrack! I honestly enjoyed the game so much that, completed it on 100% twice.

I would say the only small downside for me would be the fact that you have to start the "New Game +" (new game, on higher difficulty) if you want to reach the DLC content (SPOILER), just to fight 5 new (easy) bosses. Nevertheless, the game manages to deliver a great content, including upgrades (really eases the gameplay), multiple endings and character skins (was a big shock for me, but they truly add a nice touch, so a big "W"). Overall, really recommend the game, as it bring a vast variety of emotions, most being positive that is!
