PC Windows IOS iPhone Nintendo Switch Xbox One Mac OS Linux Playstation 4

"Blasphemous" is a gripping game that transports you to a twisted world of religion and horror. You play as The Penitent One, the last survivor of the massacre of the 'Silent Sorrow', and must use devastating combos and brutal executions to smite grotesque monsters and titanic bosses. With non-linear gameplay and a variety of different landscapes to explore, you must uncover the many secrets hidden deep inside this nightmarish world to find redemption and break your eternal damnation.


What we like:
  • Great graphics and artistic design
  • Challenging and rewarding combat
  • Immersive and gruesome enemy character design
What could be improved:
  • Obscure and difficult progression
  • Hieroglyphic map design
  • Unpractical fast travel system
  • Alleviating penalty for dying required to hunt out each individual location at which you died and recover all of your corpses
