Blasphemous

For how much I loved the vibe and atmosphere of this game, I wished just as much that I had a little bit more of an understanding of the lore that surrounds it. The items, characters, bosses, purpose, etc all are shrouded in mystery for me, and I'm not sure if that's because they kept it purposely vague and mysterious, or if it just went over my head. Either way, I still really loved Blasphemous and look forward to playing the sequel. I didn't mind the relatively basic traversal, where you don't gain any new movement abilities and unlock new areas through back doors and switches, but I am interested to see how they expand on everything. I am definitely hooked on the world they've got going and the absolute metal-ness of it.
