I finished Blasphemous. I didn't go through the DLC as I apparently missed the chance for the True Ending by not doing it early anyway, so I couldn't be bothered as I wasn't really enjoying the game that much. Also I've heard it's even more annoying. I'll save it for a hypothetical second playthrough. I did beat the one optional DLC boss I had access to - Isidora - and the difference between the main game and the DLC is staggering. I first tried the last two bosses in the main game, but Isidora took me probably 50ish attempts. And I'm not sure it was "fun difficult" either, that second phase sure was something.
My notes remain the same: terrible platforming (and an overabundance of it) and design elements that are deliberately meant to waste your time and/or piss you off hold back what could otherwise have been a great game. I respect the artistic vision, I just didn't have a lot of fun playing it.
As a palate cleanser I played through LIMBO, which I bought solely because it is supposedly an indie darling and was being delisted on GOG. I was assured by somebody on here that it wasn't really "that bad" as puzzle platformers go (I hate platformers) and that it was "mostly vibes". That was a lie - this is clearly a puzzle platformer. And it didn't feel like a particularly good one either. Fortunately it was only a couple of hours long or I would never have been able to force myself to finish it. YMMV but it's a solid 5.5-6/10 for me, I'm glad I only paid a dollar for it. I hope INSIDE is better as I foolishly bought both.
Awesome driving by Kalle on Sunday and really glad to hear Ogier is committing to he championship this year. Will be an exciting end to the season!
