I absolutely love the art, music, story and world building in Blasphemous, but I could also not really vibe with the gameplay. Way too much platforming combined with instant kill hazards and janky ledge//ladder grabbing. Also enemy placement that seems deliberately designed to waste your time and prevent you from rushing through areas, even when you backtrack.

I didn't have much issue with the bosses though, at least in the main game. Isidora from the DLC was a fucking pain, though.

My issue with the bosses was a lot of them were just floating hitboxes way above the player which boiled those fight down to jump under the boss to spam up attack. I also didn't enjoy that pretty much every boss had an AOE attack that (at least as much as I tried) you couldn't counter which ended up just prolonging those fights.

And now that you mention it I also felt like some enemy placement and platforming hazards were there just to waste your time.
