Beautiful "game". I was expecting something different (more classic adventure with collecting items, solving puzzles etc.) but this is not what game is about. It is basically interactive story based on dialogues, where you set the course of the story by choosing how you talk and behave to people. You are collecting testimonies and evidences to solve the murderers that appears in small town. You can't do anything wrong with any choice, there is no challenge in game, but you have to choose what stories you want to follow, because usually when you open door to one story line, you shut the door to another, when you gather evidences to one person, you will not have them to another. Everything leads to same ending but you just can't go through everything in one game play so if you want to know all the stories of all people, you have to play the game few more times. I like the minimalist graphic and absolutely love the background sounds, which gave me ASMR almost every second. I fell in love with the city, main character and some other characters with nice stories. The game and story has a nice flow but there are few boring and repetitive moments (basically each part of the day you run around the same places in town and talk to people, some of them have something interesting to tell you, some not). Also there are a lot of characters and you can get lost who you are talking about every time, even you have you hand book, where you collect all information about town, people and journals. It took about 20 hours to first walk through, so I am not sure if it is worth for me to go again but with different choices, because the main story will not be affected. But definitely at least one game play is really worth but only if you are into read a lot.

The game looked so good from trailers and when it was like 4$ on sale I went for it. I gave it two evenings and I was disappointed. The concept is nice, also I like the "Tim Burton" thematic, some of conversations were funny and also concept of story telling. BUT what pi$$ed me most was downgrade of graphic on Switch 2. Whole game looks like Very Low setting on PC, it is blurry and basically your are walking through one big dark mud. After few hours I have also found that the environment is not changing much and also battles are repetitive. Basically whole game is repetitive. I am glad that I did not went for the full price. Maybe on different console with not-fu$$ed up graphic it can have like 7/10 but still it will be mid-game. For me not worth playing.

Gris is pure art! It is so peaceful and beautiful. Cozy game for rainy Saturday because sadly it is really short (took like 5 hours for completing main story), but it really slows you down and let you enjoy and feel every new area with perfect relaxing soundtrack. You cannot die, there are no direct enemies, you just need to find a way from area and collect stars, that gives you new movements and mechanics and open next areas. Puzzles to solve are just right for relaxing and slow pace of this game so you don't get stuck somewhere. I could use the game twice as long, because creators definitely cooked, but with more mechanics and areas, this would be 12/10. But still, lay on your couch, cover under blanket, make yourself a cup of tea, slow down and enjoy this masterpiece!

I loved the demo and core mechanic of the game so I went straight for full game. Graphic and sounds are perfect. The game playtime is just right for me. I also love the gyro support for pro controller! I went for casual difficulty and maybe that was mistake, because it is so forgiving and provides very little challenge (on the other hand final area was quite difficult even on Casual mode) and need for adaptation of your build (you just use some build, somehow shoot through the enemies, that are just standing and walking around like blind bots and that is it) but for peaceful walk through game it was good. The story and relationship are just what you expect from trailers or description, but as a father of daughter, some scenes hit me. The game is great, but it does not hit me in style that you will go straight to NG+ or increased difficulty (and there are games that hit me this way)

Personal masterpiece! I was kinda sceptic to second game because I jumped directly from first game. I liked the atmosphere from previous game little bit more but after few hours, the gameplay experience is way better in B2. There are much more options in terms of build and weapons, action and gameplay is on steroids because you have more movement and dodging possibilities than just dodge / parry from first game, boss fights are more challenging, soundtrack is again peak. The game is definitelly replayable with different weapons and build used so you can experience it from different perspective and I will definitelly go back to the game on NG+.

For me personally, this is masterpiece! I was consumed by overall atmosphere - the lore, gothic thematic, SOUNDTRACK, grotesque designs. Everything together just create perfect experience. The game is definitely difficult and you will die a lot. It has quite hard early game before you power up little bit. Bosses are not that challenging (yet there are few of them, especially in DLCs, that will definitely put you in test and give you hard times), in Hollow Knight, they are much faster and intense, however I like more design and atmosphere here in Blasphemous. Overall lore and hints are more understandable then in HK, especially twisted lores about bosses makes you feel uncomfortable with all that guilt, suffering and heresy stuff. I am definitely going for NG+ (hard mode) and also Blasphemous II game. EDIT: After playing Blasphemous 2, i have to go down to 9/10 due to lack of movement possibilities in this game. You can basically only parry / dodge, B2 brings much much more.

It is a very nice game, I like how everything is "paperfied", also creative areas and overall it is nice. The game is pretty easy and like relaxing until like chapter 5 (which is more than 60% of game already completed), after that, you can feel first struggles but for me, it is too late for the game to become challengin after half of the game. But what I hate the most about this game that 30% of gameplay are annoying unskipable dialogs with this annoying beeping. It was maybe fun from beginning but after 20 hours of playing, I would appriciate to skip or at least fastening the dialogs. Especially train chapter was super annoying and after that, I just gave up the game and just watched how it ends. It was good experience but definitelly not comming back to this game

For first hours, I was little bit afraid because this was my first experience with metroidvania games and the "freedom" was something new for me. But then the game really caught me. Very nice graphic, music and atmosphere at all. Game is really nice challenging, requiring fast reactions and understanding the mechanics. Maybe some areas are very hard to find (e.g. behind broken walls in dark) so it is really hard to finish the game at least 100%. It also isn't boring or repetitive because with each new skill you unlock new areas and possibilities in games and has that light bulb moments!

I was looking forward to this game and I was really amazed by the graphic and the world itself. It was quite fun for first two hours but then the struggles started. Controlling is so hard on switch 2 (only playable is joy cone mode but only for fights, car mode totally unplayable especially with shooting included), I dont know why there is no gyro support for pro controller. The game also overwhelms with basically too much of everything, within the city, durin the fights when you basically dont know what is happening. I can imagine this game on PC but for my switch 2, it is definitely not my cup of tea.
