Hollow Knight: Silksong Fans Shouldn’t Sleep on Blasphemous 2

Even though it might not be the same one that sits high atop thousands of players’ wishlists, there’s a new Soulslike Metroidvania sequel that is absolutely deserving of fans’ attention. Releasing just a few weeks ago, Blasphemous 2 is the follow-up to 2019’s excellent Andalusian-themed Metroidvania Blasphemous. Part Metroidvania and part punishing Soulslike, the original Blasphemous already counts itself as one of the best entries into the crowded indie Metroidvania space, but its sequel expands on everything that made the first game great and then some. In terms of broadening the ambitions of its predecessor, Blasphemous 2 is every bit the sequel that Hollow Knight: Silksong is aiming to be for its predecessor.
