Blasphemous 2 (PS5) - Semana Santa Simulator vuelve, y lo hace todo mejor. Ahora si es un metroidvania al uso, aporta mas armas, variedad, y mejor movilidad. Mantiene su esquisito diseño de arte, banda sonora y referencias culturales patrias. Príncipe de Asturias aquí por favor.

I finished with the 'Mea culpa' DLC and it is more of the same... and that's actually good because I always want more of Blasphemous.
The new skills allow for more elaborate platforming challenges and those are awesome. The new enemies designs are great and there's a new great big boss. Sadly, the two new areas feel a little …

The new skills allow for more elaborate platforming challenges and those are awesome. The new enemies designs are great and there's a new great big boss. Sadly, the two new areas feel a little too familiar visually and the new (old) weapon is just Ruego al Alba with a few more gimmicks. Everything still works great together tho.
You can read my full review of the DLC in spanish here.

I'm playing this and it's fine, it's perfectly serviceable and safe. Out of all the games from the big indie metroidvania boom, it feels like the closest we've come yet to a direct, by-the-book Castlevania sequel. Meaning it's got lovely gothic art direction, some great tunes, slightly clumsy level design and platforming, and solid melee combat.

All the platforming powerups you find are pretty uninspired though, just the most standard-issue double jump, wall jump, and air dash imaginable. I miss Shanoa's bizarre magnet-assisted flight.

Aunque en general me ha encantado, no puedo darle la puntuación máxima debido a diversos errores que me han frustrado. No pude completar una misión por hablar con un personaje antes de tiempo así como conseguir una figura del altar. Aún así no descartaría rejugarlo, el lore es impresionante, el movimiento suave, el mapeado chulísimo, los combates increíbles... En general, …

If you're interested, I wrote a very long analysis in spanish of the plot and metaphors of Blasphemous and Blasphemous 2.
This could be a little controversial because of the parallels to actual, real religions. Mainly Catholicism, and the way I interpret the plot and themes of the game as very critical of it.
