- O, Penitent One in Silence! Carrying the guilty sword! You have committed the most serious crime against the Mother and her Saints, against the Miracle and its outbreaks. And for what? To create one of the greatest Metroidvanias to ever exist?
Totally worth it.
the opening is gold! its how i felt first time getting the "normal" ending instead of the "True" ending lol
Thanks! Gotta start with a little humor if you’re gonna discuss one of the bleakest games ever lol
@MetroidvaniaGuru I can't wait to see your thoughts on Blasphemous 2. I just started playing it today. I'll be watching your content with anticipation. I'm really glad your channel got recommended.
@@KaminGetIt I appreciate that! I just finished Blasphemous 2, Bad and Good ending. I'm gonna let it stew in my head for a minute before writing the script.
I discovered Blasphemous May this year. I was lucky I only had to wait 3 months for the sequel (yes, I got day 1).
Same for me, discovered the first game this year and got the sequel on day one 😂
Fantastic Games
I also got it day one. Just started it today and already 8 hours in. I might have a problem…
I tried Blasphemous but dropped it after 2 hours play because I had other more compelling games to play. However having gotten 5 hours deep in to the sequel I am now reconsidering and will probably go back playing both games concurrently for side by side comparison
Nice! Let me know what you think.
I've played a lot of metroidvania games......a lot; it's my favorite game style; and blasphemous is the first one i beat twice. I mean, i got to the end credits and started over right away😅.
Btw, think a found a new favorite YT chanel.
Greetings from Cuba
I did the same with Blasphemous! I beat it and immediately played it again. I do that with Metroidvanias I like a lot.
Glad you like the channel! You might be my first Cuban sub. Welcome!
The real problem that i got with the Blasphemous is the lack of "increase power / difficulty" trough the game, what i meant is that with the standard attack and parry you can pretty much beat every encounter and the upgrades beside more heath don't have much impact.
I feel ya, but there was a lot of customization options to manipulate your “stats,” but if you’re taking combat abilities, yeah, I got nothing lol
I can remember picking up Blasphemous when it came out and bounced off it after a couple hrs. I was hopelessly lost & getting my ass handed by the big head boss lol it literally took me 2 years to finally lock down & complete this masterpiece of a metroidvania.. absolutely love this game and been having such a blast with the sequel..
My favorite metroidvania and my GotY 2019! I'm still playing B2, so we'll see if that changes.
I played Blasphemous the week it released and bounced off it twice as well, mainly bc the character, and I cannot stress this enough, moves like a refrigerator. Thurs time to became a favorite
I love your channel. I hope you make make a video analysis of Astalon Tears of the Earth.
Thanks! I’m glad you’re hear!
Astalon is SUCH a great game. I need to get on it.
Just started the game what quest do you get locked out of if you don't go up the mountain
First time I played Blasphemous I went to the mountain, and It was very hard, but the game had this fame of being super hard, so I thought it was normal... Later I found that was the last location you were supposed to go lmao
I did the same thing 😆
Me and my friend did the same thing -.- I figured that's what was happening still made it to the top though lol
That opening had me dead 😂
I hate to toot my own horn, but if you know the game’s story, this is funny as hell 😆
I was the same exact way. I put it down after trying to play it twice and I just hated the atmosphere. But after I played it the third time and took a different route I loved it. One of my favorite metroidvanias
i tried this one twice already
i love the ambience, lore ... but i can't get into it because the gameplay doesn't feel very fluid ... i will try again when i finish the game that i'm on it now.
I just felt that does not have the ''flow'' that ai like on metroidvanias ... and yes, i really like those souls games as well.
I might just have to go further and get used to the ''weight'' of the gameplay.
I beat blamphous main game yesterday it a really good souls-like metrovania from a individual who play most of the fromsoft games like dark souls 1/3, sekiro and my favorite bloodborne. I love how it mixes the two genres it challenging but fun when you beat a tough boss or difficult area. The only annoying parts are the spike traps everywhere or lack of double jump/ dash. I think the game would be a little more easy if you had those abilities but overall a amazing game I give it 8.5. I am on my way on the second play through for the true ending and dlc content.
7:51 so, how "missable" are these abilities? Is there any indication that there is something important in the area? Do you find them by observing the environment? Or by carefully listening to NPCs? By taking a close look at the map? Great video by the way!
Spanish Inquisition.
If there were a moral to the story, that is.
Atrocities of that period should be known and understood by all.
This work is an exaggeration of the indignities of those times.
Frighteningly, not by so very much.
(Absolutely brilliant production in every way.)
so it is not just a pritty face then :)
How do you get the good ending?
There are 3 endings total. I’m going off the top of my head here, so named may escape me:
Worst Ending - Just beat the game. Nothing special.
Good Ending - Find this rosary bead. Something about immaculate is in the name. Equip it and die 3 times. Now it’ll be called something else. Equip it and destroy a Confessor Statue. There will be a portal where the statue once was. Enter the portal and kill everything inside. Your Thorn will evolve. Destroy all confessor statues and everything in their portals to evolve the thorn to max. It’ll be called The something of Cvstodia. Then, just beat the game.
True Ending - Same as the good ending BUT extra steps. First, you HAVE to find a lady’s tomb before you get all 3 humiliations and fight that guy on the bridge. Show him the sword the lady gives you, and he won’t fight you. Instead he runs away to a church near the beginning of the game. Find him, and he’ll give you a key. Take the key to the Library of Negated Words, talk to an NPC there, and he’ll open a door to an NPC that needs its eyes. Beat a couple of strong bosses to get its eyes and return them to get a sword core. Equip this core and fight Crisanta. Beat her, then return to the church at the beginning of the game. She’ll give you the last humiliation. Now, just beat the game to get the True Ending.
@@MetroidvaniaGuru good hell that's a lot of work. Hopefully the second one isn't as complicated.
@@suikofreak546 The second one is way less complicated. It’s more cryptic, but requires less steps.
Finished it just yesterday. Boy am I just in awe. Made a mistake and started an assassins creed only 24, hours later. Assassin's creed feels so bland. I need to give my mind a couple of days. It is the same feeling I had when I finished Hollow Knight. Nothing came close😢
Play the second one. It's reaaaaaaaally good
Don't play this game in its original language (Spanish) is a crime. The interpretation is really, really better.
it's lame gameplay pissed me off. How they come to idea attack wall to stick at it. Unbelievable.
I guess they were just trying something new. They got rid of that in the sequel.
