I thought the second game was a little bit better than the first overall. At first I liked it a lot more but then I went back and played the first game and it was better than I remembered. I'd say the biggest problem with Blasphemous 1 is that you get no new real movement options that are different from how you move at the start of the game and you move pretty slow by default, which can make traversing the world and backtracking tedious (arguably it's not even a real metroidvania). You can actually fix the movement speed problem with rosary beads and dash around like twice as fast as the default speed, but taking up rosary slots isn't really an ideal solution for this.
Blasphemous 2's strength relative to the first game is that its new fundamental concepts are better, like its movement and the platforming you can do with the different weapon abilities that mog the first game. But I think 1 does do better in utilizing the more simple toolset that it already has.
I plan on going through 2's dlc and ng+ soon.

>the Church is... LE BAD
The church wasn't bad, the leader was. The turning of the throne literally caused everyone to be corrupted by The Miracle because the pope got pissed it wasn't doing anything after The Twisted One's "miracle" and demanded it show its presence. Even then we already know The Miracle is just a creation of The High Wills who is basically a demon masquerading as a holy being to get people to worship it which is why it's so egotistical and constantly tortures people for fun. The actual divine beings in Blasphemous 2 even directly show you that there is a real Heaven and The High Wills were never a part of it.

The point of the game was to present how religions will adhere to many things just to prove their devotion to their faith, even if said devotion can be outwardly viewed as terrifying, self-harm, or harmful to humanity. It's why you have Socorro literally giving her life to be tortured for eternity just to save three people who a few doors down are mindless husks murdering people yet is viewed as a divine blessing because The Miracle did it. The Twisted One literally thanks The Penitent One for taking him off his cross and stopping The Miracle because of how its "blessing" was a curse.

You're simply supposed to see how these people, whose religion has 100% proof it exists but its god tortures them and curses them, is worshiped. You're supposed to view how that looks from an outside perspective because the devs were Catholics who saw things like Holy Communion and could understand that from an outside perspective it can seem strange and they took that to a logical extreme of self-flagellation, torturing themselves, ridiculous devotions, etc.

>>
Church is LE evil isn't the plot.
Blind devotion, that's the plot.
To use an IRL allegory, its like that old story about how the dude is sitting on the roof, area flooding around him, he's praying for god to save him, a boat shows up, he says god will save me, then a helicopter, he says god will save me, then he drowns.
When he asks god why didn't he save him, god answers that he went the boat and the helicopter.
The miracle is an abomination in the world of Blasmephous, but blind devotion is what leads people to continue to worship it.

It really depends on how you think about the games. I think on the souls-metroidvania continuum, Blasphemous 1 actually leaned more towards the souls end, just in 2D. I don't think they were really going for a full-on contemporary-style metroidvania with all the movement and ability bells and whistles. Then for the second I think that's exactly what they tried to do.
>>
>>738557034
I will forever be assmad that the miracle just ended up being a demon in disguise instead of an actual neutral being simply giving out wishes that get corrupted through the recipient like a djinn or something

The second game begins with the main character being spoken to by a messenger from actual Heaven. Like a holy place beyond the constraints of the Miracle. It's a game about fighting a false God but the Penitent One is still extremely religious.
This game tricked edgelords into playing a Christian allegory.

As a platformer with souls-like gameplay it's good. As a metroidvania it's shit. You don't have a lot of freedom to explore as the game locks the second half until you beat the first half. Not enough unlocking paths through new abilities either. Other than that I also think the later bosses outside of the DLC one are somewhat easier than the earlier bosses. Second game is way too easy by comparison but it's still fun, movement is way more dynamic and platforming is better. Still not a good metroidvania though.

I don't know what areas you've been to (the one with the pots dumping down lava is probably the slowest area) but I don't think your opinions on it will change significantly. Like >>738558879 said though the game does give you optional items so you can move a lot faster, most of these you can get fairly early on, before you kill the first three main bosses and open the big door on the bridge.

I'm still confused by the lore. In the first game the High Wills proclaim they are responsible for every miracle, so there should be more than one. Then a single miracle somehow returns in the second game after people pray to it again.
Was the Miracle usurped by the High Wills or what's their connection?

>>738575074
I thought the High Wills basically told the Miracle(s? I always thought there was one Miracle) what to do and directed what it did.
The big thing I don't understand is how the penitent one was ever able to kill the High Wills in the first game, when to my understanding they should have been able to just knock him out with some sort of illness, or curse the penitent one with some extreme incapacitating body horror, at any point in the game. Shouldn't they be basically untouchable?

To my understanding The High Wills created The Miracle among other beings like the golden baby, The High Wills died along with The Miracle, gave birth to the Incarnate Devotion which only exists because of people's continued belief in The Miracle, and then killing it kills The Miracle outright while The Penitent One goes to Heaven.

I prefer to be a Miracle with my bro.

>>738577052
The Miracle is older than the High Wills though. They say the Eternal Procession predates them and that it was 'woven from the threads of dreams' by the Miracle. The Miracle doesn't seem to have a will of its own, it may not even be sentient.

I liked the first game better because a lot of the bosses in 2 were really annoying.
>>
>>738580816
I liked 1 better because of the visuals, the better bosses, and the more fun areas. That cathedral you go to with the staircases wasn't fun at all and the new animator (Because of the Ukraine War deal that that animator didn't deserve to be punished for) wasn't as good as the old one so the new animations looked weird, especially when they redid some old ones. 2 also only makes the flail worth it, the other two weapons are absolute garbage by comparison, and the magic is so nerfed though I guess for good reason since you could one-shot some bosses with Debla of the Lights.

Still need to do the NG+ runs and patched in content of Blasphemous 2 since I played it before that came out, but I can't imagine they changed up that much since I played it which was right before they made that extra content.
>>
The new cutscenes in 2 suck (they don't even get Penitente's color scheme right), but a lot of the in-game pixel is pretty great. I think a lot of it was repurposed cut content from the first game.
The Hymn of a Thousand Voices and the knife sharpener stand out to me.
>>
>>738581021
I did a full NG+ run with all penances to get those exclusive spells and figures but they are not really worth it, not even for the lore bits.

In my opinion Blasphemous II tuned down the weird NPCs quite a bit, even though some there are still some extremes and I don't think the monster designs are as good as well.
The level designs, controls are combat are vastly superior. If only they went without a jobbing Crisanta and made Eviterno more interesting, he simply can't hold water to Escribar.

The first game felt like it didn't know what it wanted its story to be, the base game pointed at one direction and then the DLCs would hint at something different. Then the sequel felt so disconnected and aimless that it left a bad taste in my mouth, even if it was perfectly fine as a game. I didn't quite like that it went for the usual metroidvania upgrades like double jump, felt like an admission of defeat when the first game worked fine without them. Haven't played 2's DLCs so I plan to replay it eventually, I do think the game was good but I couldn't really connect with it as I did with the first

I played a lot of the first game, and I loved it a lot. I have no idea why so many people seem to dislike it and why the devs felt the need to approach the sequel in a different way to the point of even programming everything from scratch. I think at least some of the complaints must come from people who played the game early on before they fixed a lot of things. I played it after that.

Still, it seems like what I love about the game, many people have a problem with. They complain about the movement and platforming, but I found that it felt great. I think the devs shouldn't have listened to them, but to be fair I haven't played the second one yet. I just think it's another case of a series being made worse because the devs didn't stick to their vision.

I thought this game was top tier until they ruined it with the last patch and you confront the High Will, or whatever they call God in this. The game beautifully illustrated the themes faith good, organized religion bad through the game mechanics, not by giving the Penatent One new abilities like double jumping, but by acts of faith can he reach new places. The game was pretty consistent about the Miracle, while twisted in nature, granted people what the desired and faith was rewarded. I don't see why they felt the need to throw that all away by a "true" ending where you go fight God for the fuck up nature of His works.

Honestly I just kind of liked the standing story of Blasphemous a lot more pre-wounds of eventide update. I still think the original true ending should've been the end of the franchise.
I greatly appreciated the divine being incomprehensible yet worthy of the sacrifice on the throne.
I still haven't forgotten Deogracias' speech as images of the procession are shown.

I would have preferred if that was the canon ending. A Blasphemous 2 shoulda just been about a different protagonist with the Penitent One still revered as a Christ-like figure.

Both cases Miracle was born by enough people praying for it. Miracle then created High Wills, which is the "creator of Miracle" because again thats what the believers believed.

Miracle came first in both games. 2nd game revealed why Miracle is as sadistic and petty as it is, both times Miracle was simply born malformed, something went wrong with its birth both times. So Miracle was evil for the simple reason of being insane.

In both endings B and C Incarnate Devotion realizes the only reason he was born was so that Miracle has a physical incarnation so Miracle can punish and torture itself. That was also the ultimate reason for why Miracle resurrected Penitente despite Penitente trying to stop it. Player was Miracles own way of punishing and hurting itself because Miracle is a mutant sadomasochistic lunatic.

the "church is bad" doesn't exist as a trope in general. media illiterate Christians assume that criticizing bad religious people is anti-Christian, which is why they vote for pedophiles who erect gold statues and bomb preschools

High Wills weren't "God", they were the Holy Trifecta. Penitent Dude himself worshipped Twisted One who was Jesus. Everyone is more or less devout in Blasphemous games, doesn't prevent them from killing each other like what happened with Catholics vs Protestants in Europe.

Yeah because it's actually done well. It's only bad when it's lazy.
>>
>>738588385
At least to me it sounded more like that in the second game the Miracle is embarrassed by its first failure of creating an avatar and/or son (and mutating people into monsters once again) so it tries very hard with the guy born from the big heart.
So it's not crazy, it just doesn't get people or what they actually wish for.
>>
>>738588880
>so it tries very hard with the guy born from the big heart.
Yea but the guy with the big heart has that realization at the end. "Oh I'm born just because I'm your physical form and you want to hurt yourself.".

Religion is supposed to be about hope and love enduring. Love thy neighbour.
>>
>>738584321
It was never lazy, all JRPGs (FFT, Lufia, etc) blatantly spell out that bad religious people either use religion to benefit themselves for materialistic reasons or utilize it for the purpose of racial genocide. Both of which remain true to this very day. It doesn't shit on religion as a whole, just on bad religious leaders.

>Pain in the flesh yet your very flesh I am.
>Pain in the heart yet your heart itself I hold.
>My punishment will be your sole legacy.
>And I shall die reconciled with the mystery of my birth.

Narrator first two lines:
>The devotion of the many was made incarnate and suffered pain.
>The affliction cometh to an end, for the Icon falls and with it Miracle's designs and its will so capricious.

So last boss goes "Oh I was just meant to be killed by Penitent One," and narrator calls Miracles will "capricious", aka irrational and insane.

Its just allegory for spanish extreme catholicism, thats it. With the weird culture, habits, icons and history referenced in a fantasy adventure. Last Son of Miracle is just The Pope, Mother of Mothers is the Vatican. Just like in real history Vatican in this game went through holy purges of "heretical" christian sects and saints. Elden Ring also references a lot of the same stuff like Albigensian Crusades with Albinauric Villages.

Inverse fire tower is just an idea of turning the popular cardinal candles that look like priests into a video game boss fight. Fermosa Fembras area and the bone catacombs in first game are reference to Moor castles that had more of a muslim aesthetic. Town portal spell in Blasphemous and the big metal monsters in Crisol are both references to Stella Maris, a version of St.Mary that protected sailors.

How do you feel about Dead Cells? I couldnt progress 10 steps on that game either. Maybe Im getting old but I hate games that require perfect MLG reactions or go back to the beginning. My backlog is huge and I rather play more games than being stuck in one spot for hours. I love Shantae because it has everything fun of a Metroid Vania with non of the pain and the Art style is awesome. I need to feel like Im progressing to have fun.

Just stating facts. It's pretty telling most of you guys are more offended by misinterpreted media depictions than you are with politicians denigrating the faith on a daily basis.

He even had beef with the Pope, not for any morally complicated reason but for opposing a unnecessary war that he started out of boredom.

I assumed it was some kind of heaven/limbo, and the people who have died is wandering inn the background. The high wills also calls it the most holy place, but that could be holy only to them. Probably not Cvstodia, probably not the other side of the dream. But this is only speculation

It probably reminds them of Franco who was into that sort of stuff (kept spooky relics) even though the devs themselves are lowkey shitting on it. The butthurt spanish commies have over losing the spanish war 100 years ago could power western europe if someone figured out how to boil water with it, it's a perpetual motion machine.

to be, it simply mogs everything else. Now whenever I have to option to I always play games with Spanish audio and subtitles.

I am not the best player ever and its technically the only souls like I have played but the difficulty had a nice balance of hard and fair.
There is only one boss I would consider almost ragequit the game but other than that it was a nice challenge.

Possibly. The look is unique. Gameplaywise it's like a good NES game, TMNT something like that, perhaps better, Dracula X-tier, not amazing by modern standards but it works.

You no longer die instantly on fall damage unless the fall depletes your HP (You lose a fixed amount).

Whoever the fuck is writing all of the astroturfed fake Bible thumper posts shitting on games has no idea how nuanced Christian history is. The crusades/HRE/vatican domination wouldn’t have happened if there was no “evil” to combat, so why not make stories about it. Likewise, every member of the church’s leadership is a man who is subject to the temptation of the DEBA. It’s not blasphemous to imagine a story where the church (or even the divine - see Lucifer) experiences corruption.

Also it’s all made up fairy tales anyways so who gives a fuck.
