It had THREE full sofas and a wagon wheel bench. It was magnificent.

Its been almost 1 year since the Blasphemous 2 Mea Culpa DLC came out, and I have the itch to replay it. I think my review remains pretty solid, but there were a number of fixes made to elements I was most critical of since then that have me wanting to retvrn. youtu.be/eIxKcM-UE4w

Totally agree, I'm a bit fatigued by it at this point, but I did enjoy Act 3 a lot.

Wrapped up Act 3 of Silksong, what a banger of a final boss and overall what a fun final act. I have a bit more I could do in Act 3, but I think I've Silked my Song for the moment.

Coral Tower? More like “Damn that was brutal for my wrists on Steam Deck”.

Hornet herself has the answer: "I've seen enough sacrifice. I have no love for the act"

I often think back to how, during my graduate studies, my professor unironically recommended Campbell as a main source for an essay about modern mythological architecture I was writing.

He also made us watch the Fountainhead, so the signs were there.

I was losing steam with Silksong at the end of Act 2, but I will say that I’m really digging Act 3 so far, probably in large part because I’m just kinda floored at how dramatic some of the changes are and how much content they tucked away.

Blasphemous is a shining example of how games as a living medium can really transform. I remember playing for review and loving the ideas, and really enjoyed seeing the rough edges get smoothed out and rising to meet the vision.

I’ve enjoyed the atmosphere and visuals a lot, but I’ve found myself it a bit tiring on the whole. Also, it’s the first time in a metroidvania that getting the double jump (temporarily) made me worse at platforming as I adjusted to how it affected the glide and harpoon muscle memory I developed 😂

I didn’t like the shard system from the start and it hasn’t changed into Act 3. I don’t like how it puts a damper on experimentation and acts as a greater penalty for struggling players. Combine that with some punishing runbacks and tanky basic enemies and it can make for some tedious stretches.
thelorehunter.bsky.social
That’s funny because I did that in one shot, probably about 20 mins total 😂

That’s good to hear (mostly 😂) I was curious what the final needle upgrade entailed in Act 3 and despaired a bit seeing that it involved mini games
thelorehunter.bsky.social
I’ve enjoyed Silksong, but I gotta say I’m a little tired going into Act 3. The runbacks, shard system, and general tankiness of enemies in the game have made the experience a bit more demanding across the board, and I’m not sure how much tolerance I have for things to kick it up a notch in Act 3.
