Blasphemous
This is a masterpiece! But only for adults with nerves of steel! It's a 2D Metroidvania with Dark Souls elements. It's great to look at, very hard, and immerses you in a truly seedy and oppressive atmosphere with a religious backdrop. It's a sinister treat that will leave its scars on those brave enough to venture within. We loved it!
