It's just something so pure about the experience of Metroidvania and just how big and open it is and how exciting. And I love it. Blasphemous, though, is another kind of pixel art game. It's got beautiful pixel art, absolutely stunning pixel art. But it takes place in a... I don't really know what you call it. It's not Catholic. I don't want to call it Catholic. It feels bad.

But a very heavily Catholic-inspired religious world. Yeah, there you go. Where a grievous miracle is bestowed all these quote-unquote gifts upon the land. And these gifts are nothing but suffering and pain, being that the first miracle was a guy getting twisted around a tree and lifted into the air. So... but blasphemous is like beautifully dark.

And I absolutely love it. Every boss you fight is one of these people who's been bestowed with the quote unquote gifts from the miracle. And you, as you fight them and as you pick up items, you kind of learn more about them and about the world you're in. And you play as a guy with a big pointy hat called the Penitent One, and he's taken a vow of silence.

So it makes total sense why everyone else talks and you don't. That's pretty cool.

I mean, I don't know if either of you have ever picked up and played Blasphemous at all, but.

But it's a really hard game, John. I'm going to warn you now.

If another crab's treasure wasn't your cup of tea, Blasphemous is... Just as difficult, if not more.

Ryan, you might be able to mess with Blastmasters. I think you'd like it. It's got super good graphics for pixel art, but it also has the same thing like Doom, where if you do enough damage to an enemy, you can glory kill them, and each enemy has a unique animation.
