It's quite slow progress this way but I love the feel of the controls and the combat so travelling around is satisfying. I've tried exploring in a lot of places but I tend to get so far and then get hesitant because I'm far from a save point without much health, so I either try to work out if there will be a save point ahead or go back the way I came. I tried and failed fighting it a bunch of times so explored elsewhere, unlocked a couple of new moves (a four-hit combo and Devil May Cry's Stinger!) and then came back and defeated it. The only real boss I've beaten so far was the goat-head man thing laying across the statue's arms, and I had a lady casting periodic spells to heal me too. Still a fine game overall that does a lot of good things and puts a exciting focus on Game Kitchen as a developer. I never felt good when I beat them, but more that the Holy Miracle had blessed me with a better boss pattern. The RNG of the bosses also left a sour taste in my mouth. In Blasphemous there was too many instances of control input not registering, no damage to enemies even with my entire sword hitting the supposed hitbox, Me taking damage even if there was no enemy attacking me standing still. In a game like Super Meat Boy I always felt 100% in control. When a game is decided to be a (relatively) challenging game I think it requires the controls and gameplay to be finetuned to a high degree. The biggest flaw of the game though was randomness. Gameplay was simple and it could have maybe benefitted from more upgrades and incentives to use said upgrades.
The ambient guitar strumming the same couple of chords got a little old in the end. Soundtrack was suiting and atmospheric, but pretty constrained and lacking a little in variety. Nice to see a genuinely fresh art direction in this extremely risk averse industry. The art was obviously great and evocative.
#BLASPHEMOUS BABY BOSS UPDATE#
Would definitely say that the refinements of the update has elevated the game, but it doesn´t hide the fundamental flaws of the gameplay.
#BLASPHEMOUS BABY BOSS PRO#
I’m playing on a ps4 pro so don’t know much about any performance issues on switch but I haven’t noticed any, I can assure you that the game really starts to pick up after that first hour or so.Īlso just finished it after shortly playing it a little earlier last year and leaving it behind. Anyway, to the poster above me, stick with it if you haven’t already abandoned it. I’m moving through it at what seems like a nice pace but am still just at 32% i think. The new dub is fantastic and should be the only way anyone plays it, accessibility concerns aside. Quite, chill, suspenseful, and melancholy which fits the game beautifully. The music is on another level for me, as someone who listened to Godspeed you black emporer and other like bands it feels great. The progression feels really good and once you start gaining more abilities and leveling up, moving through the game feels even more rewarding. I really like the story telling and reading the lore of every item.
The first time I played I only got about an hour or so in but I restarted and kept going and now I’m hooked. I always wondered why when you visited an altar that refilled your potions and health that you always had to cut yourself to after if you wanted to get your fervor back up.įinally started playing again after the Spanish dub and holy shit, I’m in love with this game. One thing I did notice though for the first time, in a real "duh" moment tonight is that the self-cutting, blood for fervor exchange actually costs tears. Sometimes I'd get hit jumping over them, other times I wouldn't, and I couldn't really notice any timing issues with my jumps. The hitboxes of their swings seems a bit off too. Mainly because healing takes so long, and the boss would take off 1/3 - 1/2 of my health per swing, and also had a penchant for unavoidable combos due to there being no recovery frames for the character. One fight in particular, even with upgraded flasks seemed a bit harder than before. Turns out it was part of the DLC, and it does make some fights easier, but not all of them.
#BLASPHEMOUS BABY BOSS UPGRADE#
I also didn't remember if you could upgrade your flasks or not in the original release, but I didn't think you could. I don't know if the platforming was actually improved, but it feels like maybe it was, or maybe I just knew what to expect already and so I wasn't surprised? It just seems slightly better than before. Been finishing up my second playthrough-or first completion I guess, since I dropped it after 85% with my first playthrough due to other games coming out that I wanted to play and never got back to it-and it feels about the same as before, yet slightly better in some ways.
