I’m barely a few hours into Blasphemous 2 and I’m losing the plot. I’ve died to this boss, I dunno, 10 times so far? I can’t be totally sure because I never am. My routine tends to go something like this: I fight hordes of monsters, platform around deadly levels, meet a boss, bite the dust, respawn at a candlelit Prie-Dieu altar checkpoint, sprint back to the arena, try again; rinse and repeat. Like the games Blasphemous 2 is so obviously inspired by, there’s a moreishness to death in this dark and twisted nightmare world. And it’s brilliant.
