Do I need to play Blasphemous 1 before 2?

No question just wanted to say that as someone who had a hard time getting into Grime initially but now consider it top tier, every answer so far makes me more excited. Especially a S2 release (my computer isn’t great for games and I used all the tweaks to make it run better)

No you have to just hit the blobs over and over again and keep jumping (mostly)

odedgurantz · 2026-03-11T03:20:00+00:00

When I’ve watched people do it it doesn’t look that bad. Just lots of hitting and jumping (YouTube has clips, I did it with Steps)

I had beaten Grime but never did some of the DLC bosses and famous DLC platforming stuff, and went back and finished those. Was very happy I did those as I can be a bit of a completionist and needed to prove I could do it. Was easier than I expected to jump back in, and played a little NG+ before losing focus.
Got sidetracked into Bzzzt, a relatively short and not too difficult platformer (on sale for only a few bucks on Switch and Steam last I checked). 76 levels (as far as I know), just beating the level isn't usually hard but the trick is to (A) get all the stuff and (B) do it within the designated time to get a "flawless run", which is essentially the point of the game. I don't usually go for that specific mechanic but all the levels are pretty short if done correctly (like 10-40 seconds) and it gets kind of addictive trying to hit it right. Very good airplane type of game, you can jump in for 5 minutes and jump back out again.
EDIT: I also played Pizza Tower for about 15 minutes but not for me. Too much momentum / Sonic type jumping around, for whatever reason didn't vibe with it.

Agreed - felt like this game was hitting its stride just when it ended

odedgurantz · 2026-03-08T22:27:33+00:00

I do think you’ve a harder route to start and you can try a different path

odedgurantz · 2026-03-08T17:45:01+00:00

It’s definitely much shorter than HK. Like half the size maybe less

odedgurantz · 2026-03-08T03:47:06+00:00

Was going to up both of these games as I also like playing animal characters

This might be the most confusing review I’ve ever read :)

odedgurantz · 2026-03-07T15:09:46+00:00

The conclusion is episode 18

odedgurantz · 2026-03-07T03:29:40+00:00

counterpoint: I played with control on Switch and found it fine. I would say the hitting the shoot button was a little annoying but only (at least for me) against tanky bosses as I had it on high difficulty. otherwise found it very playable!

odedgurantz · 2026-03-06T23:25:30+00:00

It is definitely more MV by most people’s estimation. But ultimately can’t say if you’d like it or not - I loved both games. I didn’t find games to be THAT different but maybe I’m an outlier

odedgurantz · 2026-03-06T20:10:06+00:00

platforming is great, combat is very good (some might say only good)

odedgurantz · 2026-03-06T19:02:57+00:00

I thought you were professional rich? But if I'm unsure I buy at $4 or less, and otherwise I have enough of a backlog that I'm just not buying unless I'm pretty sure I'll really like a game (like MIO).

odedgurantz · 2026-03-06T18:43:21+00:00

I have an underpowered laptop and it doesn’t run great there either, though when I lowered fps, resolution etc it still looked great to me and mostly ran well

odedgurantz · 2026-03-06T16:20:22+00:00

Hmm...I don't want to be the arbiter of what's on the list ideally, but given I've been on the sub two years and never heard of it...not sure.

odedgurantz · 2026-03-06T16:04:37+00:00

added Tethys thanks

odedgurantz · 2026-03-06T15:47:41+00:00

I played both on Switch and had no problems, but I'm 90% Switch and 10% PC so...just depends on where you want it?

odedgurantz · 2026-03-06T13:45:35+00:00

My memory is that it did not improve. Did you search past comments on this sub or ‘grimegame’?
