Nine Sols

Лучше hollow knight!

One of the best Metroidvania games II have ever played on par with games like Hollow Knight and Silksong. And in my opinion a better story

Sekiro but 2D

What a video game! This is probably my favorite metroidvania so far. Soulslike + metroidvania is a match made in heaven. Every boss battle feels fair despite being brutally difficult. The mechanics are predictable and I haven't really had many moments in the game where I have felt like the game was at fault for me taking a hit. This game wants you to "git gud" as it were and the reward is immense satisfaction with yourself. The story, worldbuilding, and premise are awesome and ridiculous, but I cannot explain them here as that would spoil the reveal. I have mixed though mainly positive feelings and opinions about the art direction. There are parts where it felt a little bland to me. The atmosphere is amazing though. The music is inoffensive and occasionally there's a track I really want to write home about: the battle with Madam Ethereal for instance (I don't know what her English name is because I played the game in Italian). I liked the Pavillion of the 4 Seasons, you have a few buddies who you take into your house of sorts and its fun to watch their relationships play out. Kuafu and Shuanshuan's relationship is adorable. I could write more but I'm getting tired. Play this game! It's really good!

I am skeptical about games who's shtick is about being hard for the sake of it. But Nine Sols is not that, and its polished in many ways: * The level design is clever, but not intimidating. You don't need to open a guide to figure out where to go, or where backtrack, or discover secrets (therefore I would never bother with Hollow Kngiht). Hitting this sweetspot is not easy, and Nine Sols does it for me. One of the levels is a dream sequence which was memorable * The game has only ONE attack combo, and it is enough. Typical of metroidvanias, it gradually introduces more movement mechanics that synergize suprirsingly well with the single attack combo. * The story is good, gritty, and violent. NPC dialog is not overbearing, but still have their charm. * The bosses will require your focus and memorizing attack patterns. You CANNOT brute force them -- this makes the fights thrilling. In fact some of the elite enemies are really tough too. Killing a boss immediately gives me the urge to fight it again (but do it better, cleaner,). Only Khazan and V Rising has given me this satisfaction .. and now Nine Sols. In many ways, the game is minimal (remember, just ONE attack combo!)... but still is exciting. There is brilliance in its simplicity - and Nine Sols captures it. Really top notch game.

A falta que faz um mapa bom nesse jogo. Voce fica caminhando pra todo lado igual um retardado sem saber o proximo passo, dito isso, jogão.

It's a so beautiful game in many meanings. I've completed it in the second time and had so much fun. Want to pay additional respect for the last boss fight - that's how it must be. It's difficult, fast, furious, skill is required.

Очень хорошая игра, музыка, стилистика, сюжет, персонажи, боёвка - всё идеально. Прошёл на 100%, рекомендую всем.
