These are some of the greatest games similar to Blasphemous to play while waiting for the much-anticipated Blasphemous 2. For fans of side-scrolling platformers and methodical, difficult but rewarding Metroidvania combat systems, these games will be great additions.

Candle Knight

A little-known game, Candle Knight is a rather different platformer inspired by the Souls games and titles like Hollow Knight. You play as a little knight with a candle on top of his head, and its flame is one that’s very important to the game’s overall narrative and plot.

It’s a 2.5D game that combines aspects from 2D platformers and 3D games. With a methodical, slow combat system, a beautiful visual style, great platforming, and fun puzzles, this game will undoubtedly be a welcome addition to your library.
