Got all 33/33 cherubs, didn't trigger achievement.

A very excellent game, that surpasses its predecessor in many aspects.
A more wide range of weapons, each with its unique environmental/puzzle purpose, without the need to upgrade them at specific locations. Although the first Blasphemous set the quality levels very high, this game doesn't fail them.
The developers made a good use of the platforming merged with the powers of each weapon. There are enough puzzles, not very difficult and funny to solve. Visuals are great and so is the music.
One thing to mention, in my opinion, is that the style of the cinematics breaks the atmosphere, while using pixel art was one of the main, and appealing, feature of the first game.
Also i think that fewer rosary beads and prayers compared to the previous one you can't enable someone to achieve the same level of combinations as in the previous one. Yes there is the new mechanic of the wooden statues with power ups, and it is good, thinking that they are required to obtain something (i won't say more).
About the difficulty of the game, i think they made this one easier, and more player-friendly, than the first. The last boss is way easier than the one that comes right before it.

In conclusion what can i say about this game?
Blasphemous 2 is a very, very good game. Not very challenging than the first, but is satisfying.
I played it since its release, and i couldn't stop. Literally. I played all day long for four days straight. I would recommend this game to ANYONE, not only the people that like castlevania-like games or even only the fans of the first game.
I don't think i'll ever enjoy another game more than this. Maybe Blasphemous 3!!
9.5/10
