New thread! Whatch’a all playing!

I have been playing Blasphemous 2! Its really good so far. I think if you’re a fan of the first there’s nothing to dislike here (so far)

    Yes. I just have a compulsion that most people don’t where I feel like I need to see the earlier games in a series in order to get the proper perspective on the later ones. For instance, with returning characters, winks and nods, etc. It’s orders of magnitude more approachable than BG1 and 2, which were harder to get into than Planescape: Torment, IMO. And at least right out of the gate, they don’t expect you to have any foreknowledge of what came earlier. I’ll bet they’ll drop that lore as I get closer to the in-game location, Baldur’s Gate, because you do not start there, and I understand that, like the first game, you don’t see that city until toward the end.
