Especially after they added dlc into the main game. I got the plat and still haven't done a full dlc run. Close to 100 hours and still have wounds of eventide. And yeah the combat is so underrated. It's just as good as souls. If not better. Boss fights are so we'll designed and balanced.

Yeah Blasphemous is one of the best modern Metroidvanias , but please try out Hollow Knight , that game is a masterpiece no doubt bout it.

Man what great time to get into metroidvanias.there are soo many to play.i do sugest to start with the castlevania ones (they are the best imo,at least the iga ones) and from there just search metroidvania games,you will find such great gems.oh and dont forget about bloodstained ritual of night.

@@MentalProblems89 yeah i already made a list of metroidvanias i wanna play, recently finished momodora reverie under the moonlight and the next game im gonna buy is ender lilies

You’re going down the road I’m trying to 😂. Have always told myself I hate these “challenging backtracking” games. Well I’m old and trying new things. Playing Ender Lillies and Vigil Longest Night and loving both. (Mostly 😂)

Try Hollow Knight and Dead Cells.

I had trouble on a few of the bosses. Charred Visage especially. Can't wait for the sequel. Thanks for watching.

Sundered is another game on my list.

This game is basically castlevania but with all the flaws removed. Masterpiece.

hollow knight also has great combat btw castlevania has great combat and options. the problem is that it doesn't has bosses which challenge your knowledge of combat and test you how you use your abilities properly.

No game will ever beat hollow knight

@@boxerheadninja4281 until Silksong.

@@ruggerprogavlar8866 I would love for silk song to be better, but the bar is waaaaaay to freaking high, I actually don't think it's possible

Currently about 90% through Hollow Knight and I liked Blasphemous a lot more. YMMV based on what you happened to find and when, but I thought the pacing in Hollow Knight was really poor. I got stuck and needed walkthroughs for multiple pieces of the game (because I happened to miss key items/areas, especially in regions I had no map for, and because the game doesn't teach you about the pogo jumping ability unlike literally every other ability in the game). Even in the mid game map traversal takes way too long to the point where it feels like a chore. I ended up slogging through the arena in the mid game before many key upgrades came in because that was more appealing than going elsewhere and spending like 20 minutes backtracking to the arena later. The geo economy is busted too - currently have like 25k and nothing to spend it on. Haven't been farming either; just been playing normally and not dying twice. Hollow Knight feels like it's building up to a big plot reveal at the end, which isn't dissimilar from Blasphemous, but Blasphemous I felt curious and engaged in the plot from the beginning while Hollow Knight seems to be asking me to trust it to have told a good story by the end. Both games have great soundtracks and atmosphere but Blasphemous clicked with me more. Hollow Knight has that same melancholy that lots of Metroidvanias have, which I like, but Blasphemous has that *and* is metal af.

I liked the Ori games, particularly Will of the Wisps, more than Hollow Knight but HK is damn good.

Got to get in there.

Thanks so much friend

100% This game actually took me a couple attempts to get into. But once I did I was fully immersed.

i just bought the game 3 days ago, got so hooked onnit that I finished in 2

Thank you. Definitely one of my favorite games ever. You'll enjoy it no doubt.

It's excellent. Getting to bosses is tough. But the bosses themselves are surprisingly easy.

It's out now

I played the original version when it first came out and loved it - did both endings at the time but haven't touched the DLCs yet. Do they offer enough to warrant a second, full playthrough before starting Blasphemous II (which I booted up this morning but then figured maybe I need to revisit the first game)?

​@@Shmuptopiayes.

I've been slowly running through it. I plan on making a video. Thanks for watching!!!!!

Alucard from Symphony of the Night. Actually the greatest Metroidvania of all time. I really really enjoyed blasphemous. Connected with the themes of the game in a real way. But symphony of the night is probably one of the greatest games ever made.

No. Thank you for watching.

Dlc items are not required for the 100%.

I haven't. Valfaris looks insane though. Definitely something I'm going to check out. That art style is wild. Slain looks a little generic. Still on my list though. And good luck with the blasphemous run.

I think the updates really added alot to the experience. But the core game is still what it was. If you didn't love the combat there's not much of a difference. The new boss fights are pretty interesting. There's new story elements and lore. And yea it's not exactly like old school Metroidvanias. It has alot of the souls borne DNA. So multiple playthroughs will be required. Getting 100% takes quite a bit of effort and research. I used reddit for info. Instead of using a full blown guide. Ill say this this. I wasn't really feeling the game on my first run. When I went back for the 100% I started to notice all the nuance and detail. Maybe run it again with a guide. Explore all the content available.

@@adamsunderland0823 Ah, I see. No tweaks to the overall experience, enemy behavior, new early game content or anything like that? Dang, sometimes updates do change things across the board, I was hoping this was one of those times. Well, thanks for the thorough and prompt answer in any case. I guess it's possible that a second playthrough of Blasphemous could set a new lifetime record for how long I had to play a game before it fully clicked. By a huge margin. I'll keep it in the "get to eventually" list. Still, it's weird that a combination of two series/genres I so consistently enjoy ended up being two great tastes that didn't taste so good together. I think the issue is that I have different combat expectations for 2d and 3d games. I'm fine with careful, technical Dark Souls combat in 3D, but years of 2D Castlevanias (And Bloodstained) makes me want lots of big flashy attacks and a more... breezy combat system when it's 2d.

They just add the dlc to the base game. So if you have the latest update. All the dlc content is in your game world.

@@adamsunderland0823 I'm confused.. Does the DLC start where the base game ended?? Isn't there additional story content

Thanks. Going to try and make one for dying light 2 and elden Ring. Get better at making vids overall.

It's because of the dead zone on the controller. It's too tight. I had this problem with metal gear master collection. Run up to someone, let off the stick and it looks the opposite way. There's nothing that be done about it. For example PS2 controllers and games had much larger dead zones. If the stick moved a little in a direction the character wouldn't move. It bounces back on the stick when you let off. I used the d pad for blasphemous.

@@adamsunderland0823 thank you I’ll start trying that. Maybe I’ll use the stick for general movement but the D pad for combat

Appreciate that. I worked and cared about this video alot.

Symphony is one of my all-time favorite games. I love the Ost and gameplay. Learning that map as a kid is an experience I'll never forget.

I appreciate that. I was hyped on the game when I made it.

I liked Blasphemous more than elden ring. 10/10 no flaws in my opinion. Elden still a 9/10. But there are issues I had with it.

8 hours getting footage. 4 hours writing the script. 2 days with multiple hour sessions making the thumbnail. Learning how to use the photo editor. 3 hours recording and mixing the voice over. Used my cheap stage mic and added eq compression and a noise gate. Take years learning how to be an audio engineer. 4 hours editing. Getting footage that went with the voice over. Finding music that fit. Takes months to learn how to use a video editor. 2 hours posting and promoting. Finding hash tags and sharing with different people. All for a 100 views!!! Guess I should have posting some pics of Miley Cyrus with some music behind it. Sheesh!!!!!!!

@@adamsunderland0823 Content creation is about posting the "in thing" with a good personality. I'm sure your dying light 2 and Eldin ring videos will blow up. 100% . Once you get the fan base, you could talk about a dead tree for hours and your fans will listen. 100 views isn't too shabby. That's more views than subscribers you have right now. You got it man.

@@Chrisjb1983 Plenty of people have good personality's. But they don't have the skills needed to create. You can't have sub par sound, editing, ideas, etc and get consistent views. Just sit in front of your cell phone talking about games with no thumbnails, no editing, no personal touches like adding your own music that you created, and see how far you get. This is my 4th KZfaq channel. I've tried alot of different things. It's about working the KZfaq algorithm and checking all the necessary boxes. Quality videos being one of them.

@@Chrisjb1983 I'm going to have to do shit I don't want to do to get views. Like hitting up news headlines and chasing trends.

.... DEFINITELY worth it! on sale right now too!

Deaths gambit did catch my eye

I'm so in love with the sound track

@@adamsunderland0823 yeah...it's awesome

Thank you sir

Should be able to get it on the first 3 bosses. Run a new game. She will pop up at whatever boss you see first. Run those with her help. Try it with a Ng.

@@adamsunderland0823 so it's impossible to get smh my head

Dlc is fantastic. I still haven't even played all the content.

Just stack anti-electricity rosaries

not the electric attack the biting@@dudeimtellingthetruth

God of War Blood Borne Blasphemous

Same. I played salt and sanctuary a while ago. It was cool but blasphemous is on another level.

This. I'm currently playing. (Literally) Ender Lilies Sundered Foregone Death's Gambit Blasphemous is the best one

@@seph--- Got really bored with Ender Lilies, Sundered and Foregone. Now Deaths Gambit, Like Blasphemous is an unbelieavable game... Try Aeterna Noctis, It will either immerse you completely or it will break your will to live. I recently finished it and its the biggest Metroidvania map of any game. Think i put 80hrs in to it. In my opinion its the best of them all, Hollow Knight included. Its the hardest of any i have played and the music deserves a mention too.

I will check them out. And thanks.

Lol. I was getting killed a lot in salt. Blasphemous wasn't so bad though. Definitely got to play sacrifice soon.

I'm working on the hollow knight play rn. We ll see. It's good for sure.

What is their best game?

@@adamsunderland0823 personally, I'd say The Last Door. It's the only other game they've made, which is crazy. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it if you're a fan of Lovecraft or psychological horrors

Bet

Working on another video. Addressing hollow knight.

I need to play though it soon. I've heard it was hard. I only made like halfway through the game.

@@adamsunderland0823 ok just wondering and I’m excited to play it looks like the combat is very fluid so I’ll love that

Hollow Knight is perfect and flawless.

I've played it. Just not the platinum on PS4. Hollow Knight is very good too. Rn I would still have Blasphemous number 1.

I agree that the world design and layout isnt up to par with other MVs. But it's combat mechanics are top tier. Same with the art direction and Ost. Symphony of the night is a hard game to top though so I feel you.

I ran it in Spanish a few times. I think it is more immersive that way. Sounds more natural.

I haven't played hollow knight. But what I can say is a prefer the art design in Blasphemous. We'll have to see about the gameplay.

@@adamsunderland0823 Also an easy +1 for Blasphemous imo.

Thanks. I think it might be the one actual good video I've made.

@adamsunderland0823 part 2 is pretty good buy I wish they stuck to the mea culpa.

I'm playing through it rn. Going to make a video about it.

Just got back on it yesterday. Going to get the plat then do a video comparing it to Blasphemous and other similar games. I am definitely liking it so far. Beautiful art direction and atmosphere.

@@adamsunderland0823 I'm especially hyped these days since they gave a new trailer for the sequel! can't wait for it to come out

The parry though

It is pretty hard. Despite what some people will say. Just have grind. Once you over come those difficulty spikes it's so rewarding.

The sequel is coming out soon. Maybe there will be some more movement upgrades.

You usually end up back tracking, even though you don't technically have too. Most people won't even know that on the fist few runs. You'll be all over the map looking for secrets an items. It's got so many Metroidvania quality's outside this one technicality.

Thanks Son

I think I know you

@@jaiddanmoffett3660 hmmm??

I think this game has AAA value. So if you get during a sale, that's a steal for sure.

@@adamsunderland0823 i bought the Record of lodoss war....its a very goodbone as well. Im having fun with and playing Valfaris and Slain as well

I still haven't finished it. Made it to the first boss. I did feel like it was much easier and had more platforming. The story seems to be there so far though.

Being approachable to less HC-players is solid decision in business. Style made first memorable and sequel kept it.

Using a guide will 100% percent ruin the experience. But I agree that this game is brutal.

@@adamsunderland0823 Go right ahead and tell me how it will ruin the experience. i'm honestly listening. but you'll need to explain how someone would know to take the unhatched egg from Grievance all the way across the map back to the Mountains, plant that egg at a tree, leave the screen, then return to retrieve the egg which has now hatched, then take that hatched egg back to Alberto and offer it to the golden mask lady. Dude, just no. I get your purism, I do, but no not for this game.

Using a guide will kinda mess up the experience, just search up a specific thing if you get stuck, do NOT look up a guide from the beginning

There's hardly any bugs in this game. Show me a video of buggy platforming. Or the screen rolling glitch causing anyone to die. Maybe on pc because if you're pc. But the console versions ran really well.

You...you didn't love the puppy? :(

No no. I prefer to hear opposing opinions. Alot of people are saying it isn't even a Metroidvania. The exploration being one of the main reasons. Taking all this feed back into consideration for my Hollow Knight video.

@@adamsunderland0823 heresy! Unlocking specific skills to reach new areas is what Metroidvania is about (perhaps not as much as others games, but still). People these days... On the other hand, i loved Hollow Knight, despite its crushing difficulty in optional endgame contents, but i'll give this one a fresh new go Have fun !

Yeah. I raged a few times trying to get the platinum.

I had trouble getting immersed in Hollow knight. But I can see why it's so highly regarded. Something about Blasphemous really resonated with me.
