3.5/5 ★ – Official_Struan's review of Blasphemous.

I can't help but feel like all the Soulslikes I've played are just piss easy spin-offs and the day I play an actual Fromsoft title I'll get put through the meat grinder. Blasphemous is definitely harder than Code Vein at least, and much fairer in the late game too. Unfortunately, Hollow Knight beats this in pretty much every way to me. Its combat is more refined, the music is better, it looks more visually appealing and has maybe 3x the amount of content if you compare absolutely everything in both games (I think). I'd still recommend Blasphemous if you've already played Hollow Knight and you've been waiting 3 years for more Silksong news. Not to shit on Blasphemous in itself. Good combat, some cool visual stuff, and it felt really satisfying taking down each boss, even if it wasn't the most difficult thing to do. I had a lot of fun just exploring each area and finding new stuff. I'm also really tired, so can't be arsed praising it beyond that to justify my rating like I wanted to.
