    So far only Blasphemous, but that’ll probably change. My wishlist is huge, and nothing’s ever stopped me from growing my backlog before, so why stop now?

    I’m a huge fan of metroidvanias, I’ve played almost all of the heavy hitters in recent years: Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Ori 1 & 2, Dust, Guacamelee, the list goes on. Blasphemous seemed right up my alley despite some positive reviews with heavy caveats. I’m mostly enjoying it but I really really hate all the insta-death pits. Nice that you don’t drop all your currency on death but now I’ve gotta walk all the way back there, avoiding all the enemies and traps, and oop I’ve fallen in the same pit again and turned the game off. Besides that, the difficulty is somewhere between easy and challenging but fair. Recommended while cautioning patience.

      If you love metroidvanias you owe it to yourself to check out Environmental Station Alpha. It’s so good mechanically and the fights are so well designed that it’s probably my favourite of the genre along with Hollow Knight. The graphics aren’t for everyone but trust me you get used to them quick.

      Blasphemous is great. The difficulty gets better as you gain new abilities, the beginning is a bit rough. I just bought Ender Lilies and Lost Ruins.
