The path I took through Blasphemous 2 led me to a definite and dark ending. I saw the potential for other paths, but without the help of an online community or guide, I’ll admit I was lost in how to stray from the one laid out before me. Over time, these secrets will be unlocked by minds more dedicated than my own and — we can pray — more development support will be given. That is not to say that this game, at a nice 20 hours, is unfinished, anything but. It is a polished, snappy action-platformer that wears its influences on its sleeve while still making them its own. But to what end? I’m perfectly content with my time playing Blasphemous 2, but at 98% map completion I still want to know more about these characters and just how much agency I could have had in the fate of The Penitent One and Cvstodia.
