Ugly bosses and weapons

[Tallywhacker]

Visually most of the areas of the game are 10/10 in 4K. The scaffolding areas are perfect. Rain or shine. Good level design too, I have no issue with the enemy placements.

The Manse is my favourite area of the game. Top tier environment and enemies. Carl The Crossbow Cuck is satisfying to kill and placed perfectly. Running around with fists juking in the Manse is real fun even though it can lead to a heated gamer moment.

The burning city is just on fire. The witches and snake ladies are just as hard as they need to be.

The swamps are fun to get lost in and look very swampy. Cuphead is a fun sponge boss to beat on.

BUT

Most bosses are ugly and uninteresting. The texture resolutions are high but the models look blocky and ugly. Like a wet dog. A dead wet dog. A dead wet dog who is also a Karen. I spoke to the manager of the Karens in Karen City and she also looked like a dead wet dog. Fighting these bosses wasn't fun, it was annoying. I didn't want to learn their crummy move sets because they looked like ♥♥♥♥. Not a fitting enemy. I did enjoy the Adyr fight though, you know he really made a lot of good points about why I shouldn't kill him before I killed him. What a guy.

The weapons are also almost all ugly and cringe. Why is there nails, thorns and body parts in every freaking weapon? They look like discarded industrial waste you would find at a dump. The only actual weapon in the game that a human would use is the Old Mournstead Sword and maybe one flail or spear. Never mind that short swords in the game are actually long swords. Whoever designed the weapons needed to be taken into a room and told to stop it. Get some help. The animations are fine but only because they aped the souls games almost exactly. I knew exactly what the Mournstead sword moveset was going to be before I even swung it.

In short, you don't like the art style. I would imagine you also wouldn't like the art style of any of the blasphemous games. I like it. To each his own.

No. The art style is fine. It's the weirdo who designed the bosses and weapons who I have a problem with because I'm a normal person.

The first game was generic Blizzard fantasy style. They caught criticism for that and hired an edgelord artist for the bosses. They are some talented people in the studio obviously but whoever is in charge seems to run like a headless chicken in random directions from twitter criticism.
