Theres a lot to love about The Game Kitchen and Team17s Blasphemous and, considering how long video game development cycles can be nowadays, it seems like a miracle of truly biblical proportions that the sequel was able to launch four years later. Blasphemous and Blasphemous 2 are punctuated most distinguishably by their pixel art style and dark-fantasy art direction, plunging players into rich landscapes of horror-infused Catholicism. Like any good sequel, Blasphemous 2 is a proper continuation of the IP and iterates on what the Metroidvania action-platformer excels at beautifully.
