Now if I can just get Limited Run to print up some more copies for Best Buy to sell we'll be in business.
I asked in another thread and got no response, but, how does this run on Switch?
It's on sale and I've been meaning to pick it up, and this is as good a time as any, but I'll wait for a better sale on PC if the Switch performance isn't up to scratch.

I just myself looked this up as I had the same question and it looks like it is running well after a some what rough launch.
There is a bug if you put the Switch to sleep while the game is running, when you return to the game there will be dips in FPS.
There is a demo by the way.
It's been awhile since I've played this, but I don't remember any performance issues on Switch.
Good to know, thanks!
I did download the demo and then failed to bother playing it in typical me fashion. Been too preoccupied with finally replaying TWEWY though.
I played it and it was fine. Maybe got stuck in a wall once, not sure if that was a switch specific problem.
Sounds great. I had a bunch of issues with the game at launch but they've done a really good job addressing them so far and this seems to be an even bigger step in the right direction.
Full Spanish voice acting is a nice addition, the English voice work was real bad in places.

For real!
I'm so bummed that I missed the physical print of this. If they don't announce another round of copies I'll just cave and pick it up digitally.
I've been snapping up the Limited Run releases from Best Buy gradually, as I ain't made of money, and I'm used to having at least a few months to do so before some of the more popular titles (Celeste, Bloodstained) start to go out of print, but for Blasphemous it was like four to six weeks and it was gone.
I've considering going via eBay but while copies of the $35 release were going for $50 back in May they're now climbing up to $75, which is a tough swallow for a game that's currently going for a little over $10 on the eShop.
Damn my propensity for physical software and aversion to digital software!
Same. Hold off from buying it, waiting for more improvements, and here they are! 🤗
After years of being a physical collector, I became digital on the Switch.
You can buy original/official games cases on Nintendo's store website, and then you can download/print the covers from GameTDB.

Great news! Definitely diving in again, despite putting in quite a few hours and getting the platinum on PS4 recently. Absolutely loving the atmosphere in this game!
Putting cases on a shelf doesn't solve the ability to resell my games at my leisure unfortunately.
Carrion comes out this week and I think is Metroidvania-esque.
A small reminder, this studio (Game Kitchen) has made a haunting 8/16bit point'n'click : The Last Door. It's a long and neat patchwork of occult and horror stories from the 18th and 19th century, two seasons of 6 episodes, also available on the three consoles. I have completed a lot of (indie) horror games but this one has done something special on me.
Somehow I can't wrap my head around the fact, it's from them too and keep forgetting it. Whenever it's brought up, I'm surprised anew. XD
(And Last Door is indeed a great lovecraftian PnC.)
It seems at the start of each new game + game you have to pick a handicap that changes how you play the game. It's basically like a new set of rules that affect your gameplay.
There was a fourth locked one so you probably have to stack all three handicaps until you can pick the fourth one
"coming to consoles and Steam"
What about GOG?
edit: it is coming to GOG as well, just a little later:

Hope there QoL upgrades here are meaty. I mostly enjoyed my time with the game, loved the world, music, and aesthetics especially, but had a few issues with bugs and some of the game mechanics. I got stuck in walls several times in the Switch version, requiring a checkpoint restart and the guilt-on-spikes bug plagued my game constantly. Some of the animations felt stiff or too long for the Penitent One's attacks, so I also felt like I wasn't really able to take full advantage of his move set in some of the faster-paced boss encounters, instead just opting for more reliable basic attacks.
My biggest gripe that I think they need to change is that the flask's (or whatever this game calls them) healing amount can never be upgraded and doesn't scale. End-game bosses and enemies do attacks that hit for like 2-3 flasks worth of damage, so if you get hit a couple times you're forced to dance around, dodging attacks, while you try to chug 5+ flasks without getting hit again. There is a bead that makes you invulnerable while you heal which helps, but it doesn't change the fact that you need to heal several times to refill your large HP bar. This shit frustrated me to no end at the end of the game, and I basically had to take a git good approach to the final few bosses where I learned to beat them without relying on any healing at all because having to stop and heal caused me more damage than just living with whatever hits I took.
Anywho, gripes aside I'm definitely still looking forward to checking this out. Can't wait to see the new bosses in action; the boss art design in this game is something else.

This game was a bummer for me. Drop dead gorgeous but never felt very motivated to actually progress. The way the story/lore was dolled out was just uninteresting and unrewarding, playing to see the next pretty thing didn't last long since as soon as I reached a heavy platforming area after the first boss it just wasn't clicking, maybe it was the movement idk. Thought the voice acting/dialogue was bad too.
But a lot of work looks like it's going in to improve stuff looks like so I'll definitely give it another go. Really do want to like it.

I tend to focus only on my gigantic backlog that gets stuffed monthly by Humble bundle. But this looks quite interesting, looks like you take control of the alien from The Thing. Thanks, I wishlisted this^^
This has been on my radar for some time but never got around it, may be the time to finally bite!
Great!! I bought it a couple of months ago and didn't get too far and then I focused on FF7 and RE3 so this might be a good chance to go back.
i had an okay time beating this game once on ps4, but the platforming grated on me the further i got into the game, especially since the movement didn't feel like it supported some of the more demanding platforming challenges that mostly resulted in insta-death as you fell into a spike pit. it's been a while since i played it, but i don't remember there being a lot of shortcuts either, so it all compounded into traversal just being a slog.
some of the more involved combat mechanics also felt tacked on. normal enemies don't live very long for you to bother doing combos. bosses are mostly gigantic and don't react to getting hits, and their attack phases generally required you to dodge while getting one or two strikes in between to not get hit, so i stuck to basic attacks for those fights too. maybe i just needed to "git gud", but i also don't have any memories of being stuck on any boss like i did with some of from software's games or hollow knight.
but hey free dlc with some content and qol updates, and i really do like the game's style, so maybe i'll give it another go.
