Games like Blasphemous 2

Blasphemous 2 is a grim metroidvania: you parry through a religious ruin on a map that stays where you left it. A tell becomes a spark when the parry lands, and the ruin is still there the next time you walk it.

For players who want a hard parry through a religious ruin that stays mapped.
Fantasy: Exploration / Narrative. Fantasy is our reading of the game, separate from the Steam review score.
A match rises when it shares the way you play: the loop, the mechanics, the session. A shared mood alone does not put a game at the top. If too little is known, the row is left off.
FAQ
Is this a Steam tag clone list?
No. Tags are one input. Mechanics, fantasy, progression and session structure are classified by Shypiard. If a signal is missing it is skipped.
Why is a famous game missing?
Either Shypiard has not profiled it yet, or it shares too little with Blasphemous 2 to be a fair match. The list is never padded to reach a round number.
