Nine Sols | Perfect Game Review (100% Completion at 35.0 Hours) I thought Nine Sols was a chill platformer—turns out it’s a rage-fueled masterpiece. Sekiro was my first souls game, and Hollow Knight was my introduction to Metroidvanias—so, naturally, Nine Sols was the next step. Like many others, I was drawn in by the brutal, fast-paced combat. I came for the satisfying parries, stayed for its gut-wrenching story of betrayal and sacrifice. Gameplay: Parrying feels downright divine, and the talisman detonation mechanic? Absolute perfection—blow enemies to bits and look cool doing it, until they return the favour (looking at you, Eigong) ★★★★★ Graphics: Gorgeous, haunting, and you’ll probably die trying to admire the scenery (The same thing can be said about Lady Ethereal…) ★★★★★ Sound: Beautiful music but the serene melodies are a trap; the clash of swords and your groans of failure are the real soundtrack ★★★★★ Story: A well-written but tragic tale of revenge, secrets, and god-like cats who need therapy just as much as you do after finishing this emotional rollercoaster ★★★★★ Replayability: Two endings and plenty of exploration, but sadly no “New Game Plus” or extra content ★★★☆☆ Final Thoughts: By the end, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll probably smash a controller—but it’s all worth it. Would I recommend Nine Sols ? Only if you’re okay with a game that’s gorgeous, punishing, and completely worth the pain. Overall Rating: 9/10, but my controller disagrees.

Nov. 2024

Hollow Knight and Sekiro made love and this was the outcome. Definitely the best indie game of the year. If you enjoy metroidvanias, parry based combat, and difficulty this is the game you have been looking for. Lady Ethereal took me into deep waters and drowned me into submission.

Nov. 2024

The biggest snub in Indie Game of the Year. One of the best games OVERALL for 2024. The fact it wasn't Indie GOTY or GOTY is disrespectful. 10/10, one of the most beautiful games I have ever played.
