Oh wow, a fixed economy? I suppose that depends just how many places there are to actually trade with. I'm curious how much this game can hold up as a "space sim lite", and hearing that the prices are fixed is a little sad.
Using custom modules to block ship scanning is interesting, I'm hoping those module slots are limited and you can't just hide from scans on any ship by using the same module.
So, I’m excited for this game, but after being burned one too many times on preorders, I’ve made it a personal policy to refuse to engage any sort of preorder.
While I guess you ask because you want to know if the story of the first is important to the second and I can’t answer that because I only played the first. But If you like hard but rewarding Metrodvania games and you are interested in the weird and interesting religious/horror pixel aesthetic I say: definitely play the first Blasphemous!
If this interests you, no reason not to play the first! I personally bounced off of it, but I don’t think that is the game’s fault.
The game’s combat strikes a unique balance between “slow and deliberate” (ala Dark Souls) and traditional fast-paced platformer combat. I went in wanting the game to feel like Hollow Knight, and it is definitely not the same. You don’t play a bouncy lil bug man, you play a big heavy knight. Big heavy knight + platforming felt like a weird combo to me, so I put it down. But not every game is for everybody!
I think the only thing I might have changed about the first game is removing relic slots. It felt a little needless to limit the number of keys/exploration upgrades the player can use at any one time. Other than that, solid game.
Games are entertainment, and so I get my news coverage from people who I find entertaining. This means I’ll take biased, opinionated ranting if it’s funny-enough. So mostly Yahtzee.
which is why im so partial to the current incarnation of giant bomb. i didn’t follow them in theur bigger days so i had no preconceived notion of what GB should be, i just followed jeff grubb to it when he moved there from gamesbeat. super charistmatic dude, funny as hell, great takes, goes out of his way to help signal boost other games media people.
the chemistry the gb crew has is magic and they all have great and distinct tastes in games. plus they do stupid shows like blight club where they pick awful games for each other to beat like bubsy 3d, sonic 06, robocop for xbox and heckle each other/ laugh at each other’s misfortunes
Noooooooooooppp, I already had a MechWarrior/Gundam like run planned where I have a big ship with mechs that I pilot and then go be a mercenary in space.
Who is buying this on Steam? It's priced higher than BG3...
It's defo a game for a month of game pass and then can purchase at a sale later if it's worth it.
If you're willing to give up your option to refund in a 2hr gameplay window, you can get a Steam key from reputable (not greymarket) sellers for a decent discount. Here's an example
