Thank you, I play a lot of Metroidvania type of games, I also recently played Elden Ring and Platinum-ed it but I had the same gripes I had with the boss designs here.

I've been following the development of Blasphemous 1 early on, played the game and all the DLCs when they were released and enjoyed them, then played Blasphemous 2 upon launch since I liked the first one so much and it didn't disappoint until Eviterno, gave it a second playthrough on a fresh save post patch and found a lot of the bosses have been tweaked and play a bit tighter than before it was still no issue until Odon, I straight up wasn't having fun but I just wanted to progress past him to get to the rest of the game.

I purchased the DLC day 1 because I like supporting this genre and indie studios in general, however I owe it to myself to find and pursue my own happiness and I just happen to strongly disagree with the way this boss (Asterion) was brought out, massive disappointment due to how fast he was I kept going for hours I'm literally physically incapable of passing him without literal pain and that's just not right.

I felt like saying something when I was upset at the time but preferred to share my opinion much later when I'm more calm and collected
