@vgcloset's review of Nine Sols
★★★★★
I don’t give 5/5 star ratings too often, but I’m here to say this game is an absolute masterpiece! It is so much more than just another indie metroidvania. It is a Sekiro-like, but it genuinely adds a lot to the formula with jump parries, charged up unbound counters, and an internal damage system. The story is great and really well told. There is a lot of dialogue which might not be for everyone, but the writing is absolutely top tier. The boss battles were very well tuned. They are fairly demanding and challenging but more than fair with the tools at your disposal. The final boss took me a good few hours to take down all 3 of her phases, but when I got her moveset down, it was genuinely the most fun I think I’ve ever had in a boss fight. Yi is definitely up there with my favorite video game protagonists, and this game is 100% up there with my all time favorite games.
