Dec 23, 2024Nine Sols as a whole was such a delightful experience that it is quickly moving up my Game of the Year list as I take further reflection on my time with it.

Apr 27, 2026Nine Sols is a fantastic Metroidvania with a phenomenal story. The combat is slick, the lore-rich action is amazing, and I loved the exploration elements. Despite its occasionally brutal ways, it was a joy to play.

Nov 26, 2024Combat and progression are the best parts of Nine Sols, and they manage to rub away the blemishes occasionally found in the game's map design and exploration. It's a really great blend of systems from other games with a fantastic revenge narrative. While aspects of the world design and 'Taopunk' style feel mismatched, there is always another enemy around the corner to fight, reminding you just how good the core gameplay is.
