Blasphemous

The soundtrack is fascinating and immersive from the very beginning. The music of Albero creates an atmosphere reminiscent of sensations from the “Firelink Shrine” in Dark Souls but based in the south of Spain.

The animated scenes are unsettling but very interesting and elaborate, I think they contribute a lot to the game’s atmosphere.

I really liked the Spanish voices, mixing the Andalusian accent with a more generic Spanish.

An interesting interpretation of Spanish religious folklore. Symbolism such as the “Prie Dieu” being a resting and respawn point, rosary beads improving our character, or fervor allowing the use of prayers is masterfully integrated into the core mechanics of the game.

Interesting bosses with very different mechanics. There are optional bosses if you’re not a completionist.

The difficulty of some areas and especially of some optional bosses is high, but just right as it doesn’t become frustrating. In a short time, you find their weaknesses and improve your skills to defeat them.

The different mechanics and power-ups are spectacular, there is a wide variety of items and possibilities to customize the control and abilities of our character.

• “Rosary beads”
• “Relics”
• “Mea Culpa Hearts”
• “Prayers”
• “Abilities”

Lots of secrets and collectibles. Each ítem is linked to lore stories, very much in the style of items in the Souls series.
