Critic Reviews
Fun Factor
By Miguel TeixeiraI highly recommend Blasphemous 2 to any Metroidvania fan. It's a great sequel with snappy, satisfying combat and movement, great exploration and a heavy, brutal and memorable world.

By Lee ManuelBlasphemous 2, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways
Console-Tribe
By Donato MarchisielloBlasphemous 2 is an excellent second chapter in a series that has become a benchmark for genre enthusiasts. The Game Kitchen has improved and expanded the overall experience, offering more varied gameplay and exploration. While not perfect, it maintains high quality. However, those with strong religious sensitivities might find it unsuitable.
Digital Chumps
By Will SilbermanBlasphemous 2 felt incredibly good to play despite its challenging nature and complex combat. It's a great Soulslike 2D action-platformer that doesn't rely on nonsense gimmicks that make the game artificially difficult for the sake of being punishing. Its exploration, art direction, and worldbuilding are unmatched in a sea of modern Metroidvanias released in 2023. If you're down for a good challenge or path of penitence in a Roman Catholic-inspired 2D platformer, look no further. Like it or not, you will pay for your gameplay sins.
Forever Classic Games
By Alex McCumbersAll in all, Blasphemous 2 is a great game of this style... I hope –like the sculptor Montañés– that The Game Kitchen gets to further hone their latest title. There is an amazing game here that’s just shrouded in a thin veil of sawdust. An extra chip here, a little more varnish there, and Blasphemous 2 will captivate many for years to come like its elder.
