The best metroidvania since Hollow Knight, with permission of Prince of Persia The Last Crown. Everything in this game is near perfection: gameplay,art direction, story, music. I’m on the last act and everything so far screams masterpiece.
You better prepare for the final boss, because that's one of the best boss fights in the history of gaming. The execution is just immaculate, 11/10 from A to Z. Also it absolutely kicks your ass, never had I spent so much time on 1 boss as for this one.
@pilgrimspromise1132 Yeah, when I played Hollow Knight on Switch, I felt the same way, sad for not getting any achievements. I played Nine Sols on Steam and got achievements. Sad that on Switch, you won't know if you defeated all the mini bosses cause you won't get the achievement for it. That's the only one I can think of that's both nice to get and helpful to know.
Anyone who doesn’t like it and hasn’t beat hollow knight and Sekiro just isn’t the target audience. It can feel impossible at first. The first boss fight took me coming back the next day. But so far I’m very happy with it.
Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. I didn't beat Hollow Knight because I after a while I lost interest. Which never happened with other metroidvanias like Blasphemous and Death's Gambit. Plus I'm a rare case because I absolutely hate FromSoft's games while I platinumed Lies of P and was my favorite game last year. So, I like challenging games in general, but this Nine Sols is the worst I played this year. The control is absolutely inconvenient, unergonomic even. The combat is dull and lacks fun. It wasn't able to motivate me to collect money and skill points because most of the purchasables and skills were uninteresting. And the exploration... It made me anxious because every time I made progress the game punished me with its forced dialogues and boring story. I can't express enough how disappointed I am.
I agree a little bit with the controls being inconvenient. I absolutely loved Hollow Knight because of its world and simplicity. Somehow I cant get into this game. I play for 10-15 minutes and Im already bored. So yeah, not every person who enjoyed Hollow knight will enjoy this game.
Bought Nine sols on release date. I am on the 3rd sol and loving the game. The map is a bit tricky to understand but exploring every corner will help you figure things out. Highly recommend this game
Bought this the other night on steam. Played it for the first time today for nearly 2 hours. It's incredible everything about it's incredible. The level design the music, the story, the gameplay the gameplay loop the Parry not that difficult to do If you mess up you still get credit, The enemy design the game is so good. This is my game of the Year 2024 all day. I also picked up metaphor last night and I haven't played that yet so that might also be in that conversation. Completely different game though.
Great game but the big problem with all metroidvanias is objectives. It's so difficult knowing where you're supposed to go in these open world side scrollers. I loved the story of nine sols but man if you Soto playing for a few days and come back you will have 0 idea of what your objective is and where you're supposed to go...
@@leonkennedy3398 Yes! I just started. If you enjoy games like Hollow Knight you'll love it. It's a metroidvania with souls-likes elements and also parry mechanics (like Sekiro, Lies of P etc). I'm 5h in or so and loving it so far
From what I know, Red Candle Games was under a lot of fire from Chinese people due to one of their previous games, Devotion, because there was a poster in the game depicting Xi Jinping as Winnie the Pooh. There was so much hate that the game is no longer on Steam and only the soundtrack remains. I just wanted to mention this as this could have influenced the game's popularity. This also could've been a big reason as to why it wasn't on Game Awards. Honestly, it wouldn't be surprising as Game awards is kinda BS. Take what I said with a grain of salt as there is no hard evidence.
Just started playing a day ago and I’m loving it. It is frustratingly difficult at times but I know when it’s my error. It feels really good to do well in this game, and there’s so much to each area I’ve been to so far. The artstyle is so pleasing too!
Yep, there's only one version for PS consoles (both PS4 and PS5), and it looks like a lot of PS4 players are getting crashes 100% of the time in some areas. Devs are competent and communicative, so they'll definitely fix it soon enough. Problem might be with Sony verification, which by itsself might take like 2 weeks. Y'all should be able to play this masterpiece around christmas probably.
@@mikemjp1573 good news, the devs know about the issue and already have a fix, they said it should head out for certification tomorrow so like a week or two and then it’s hopefully all fixed. They said they were using an old base PS4 dev kit so it had no issues but apparently when they had someone bring a slim/pro and they noticed the crashing almost immediately. Trash scenario and it shouldn’t have released in this state, but at least the devs are acknowledging it and fixing it, so we hopefully should get to play it in time for Christmas holidays.
Can someone answer me my question please... I've played Hollow Knight and completed main story. Probably the hardest game I've completed. Also played Ender Lilly which I loved. My question is: is this game easier/ more forgiving than HK? I think I'd enjoy it but only if it's not insanely hard
In my experience I’d say it’s similar in difficulty to hk as long as you have experience with other parry-based combat games like mgr or sekiro. The further you get in nine sols the less and less useful your I frame dash gets which pretty much forces you to parry, so don’t go into it expecting hk combat. Also if you do find the game to be too difficult there’s a story mode that lets you increase/decrease how much damage you do and take while still allowing you to get all the achievements and enjoy the game to its fullest.
Does this get better? The storytelling is kinda meh since you have to read random pages instead of experiencing it more directly. I'm also at the level where I'm stuck dying at the larger lowering elevator, which dying all the time is fine, but it's annoying to have to take 2 min of walking to get back to the elevator.
@yourlocalsnake6730 it's a series model which confuses me considering I can run things like stalker 2 lol. idk why this game doesn't work, I reinstalled it twice.
I still haven’t Best HK but only because I get burned out and start over right before pantheon At least that is what I keep telling myself Just dwnlded this for my Switch. My 23 yr old son says it slaps.
Dont know why but AA metroidvania’s like this,Laika Aged Through Blood and Deaths Gambit really didnt click with me…Something is missing or maybe its the art style and thats where Hollow Knight comes out as a masterpiece..its still unchallenged with Ori in a close second
extremely good alternative for Hollow Knight. I admit it. However boring conversations and empty storytelling are the minus of the game. Parry is so satisfying. I give this game 8/10. Hollow Knight is for me 9.5/10 . Basically it's the best metroidvania after HK released. I am so hopeful about Crowsworn and i belive it will be a flag bearer of HK when it appears.
the storytelling probably feels empty since you skipped all the dialogue. it’s fine if you don’t have the patience to read mountains of text since when I first started I felt the same way. however the storytelling and lore of nine sols imo is nearly as good as the combat.
Do yourself a favor and don't come into this game thinking it'll feel like Hollow Knight. It might be a metroidvania but it's much closer to Sekiro in feel. Great game but a tough SOB.
@@feelsgoodman420 at this point i dont know were you trying to be funny or just innocently ignorant. im sure ppl from china just might thought the same while the rest of the world differ :D
If u think “ souls like “ means hard games ur wrong, ninja gaiden isn’t a souls like, and you could make an easy blood borne clone , people usually refer to the whole slow action rpg with dodge rolls and very little animation cancels . Exploration and map design also add to the distinction as well as the whole bonfire/ collect ur souls on death mechanic .
I agree…Coming from a die-hard souls fan..there are so many souls clone that are mediocre at best or are just so bland…Only Fromsoftware has the secret sauce and has perfected its formula!
As we all know, unfortunately, tensions have been rising between China and Taiwan over the CCP’s growing demand to reunify, while Taiwan refuses to forfeit their independence and sovereignty. China has been conducting more and more aggressive, provocative, military exercises in the Taiwan Strait/South China Sea. Thankfully, neither side has actually initiated any attacks, and I really hope it stays that way and they can come to some kind of peace agreement… A diplomatic solution. I pray that China and Taiwan can set an example to the world, rather than engaging in ANOTHER senseless war! There are already too many wars going on today! I say all of this to say, instead of going to war, both sides should just continue one upping one another with their video games! lol Sort of like how when some of us idiots here in America have “beef”, they resolve it through rap battles. I mean, it would be cool to see a Taiwan vs China rap battle too, but yeah. First China drops “Black Myth: Wukong”, and then Taiwan hits back with “Nine Sols”! Imagine this is the straw that breaks the camels back (Or should I say the chopstick that broke Panda’s back 😏) but imagine this little competition provokes all out war! Sorry, I shouldn’t even joke about that kinda thing. I must say though, the games coming out of East Asia lately have been insane! Got all the western game devs sweating a bit. lol
I didnt like it. The hitboxes were ......odd. i died an did not feel like it was my vault, combat is slow, i prefer the speed of hollow knight or deaths gambit.
Not a single death I’ve had made me feel cheated but like I messed up and corrected it later. And it plays at a much faster pace than hollow knight and more dynamic.
Looks like a generic knock off, trying to ape better games in the Metroidvania sub-genre. The combat looks simplistic, and that fodder enemies take more than 3 hits, and requiring constant parrying is a non starter. For a game this generic looking to be getting so much praise here, almost seems paid for.
I thought the same thing initially. Can assure once it gets going, it feels so good. The boss fights are its major highlights and on everyone I wouldn't of been mad if they just continued on, especially the last one with the added phase for its true ending. You probably don't even care about this reply but me finding a hard time looking for games around July, and just deciding to download this because I was bored. Only to have an absolute blast, and beat it a second time 100% immediately after playing it and being emotionally punched down by its story...kinda hurts for it to be called generic and just brushed off on (don't take that literally mah dude, I don't really get offended by opinions)
@@jasonwells7294 I just played it for an hour on GamePass. It’s not horrible. I might even buy it eventually if it hits $10. Thank you for the thoughtful and well informed response.
Played for 5 minutes, watched 30 minutes of cut scenes, faced the same enemy 12 times in a row, died on the last one and had to restart from my save point, died again thanks for wasting my time. Horrible intro to a game
@ exaclty. I sat through all the BS cutscene start, I wasn't even 5 minutes in and have no idea how to play. I go through a linear, repetitive section and keep dying and then being thrown back to the start.
On hour 3 of this game, and it compares poorly to it's competition. Hollow knight has better design and atmosphere, Ori has better movement and graphics, Lost Crown has better combat and movement, bosses etc. I can go on and on.

I am surprised this great metroidvania is rated T for teen, considering the levels of violence and the dark themes present on its plot.
I know people should not be fooled just because of the cartoon visuals this game has a really horrific messed up plot.
i mean what do you expect it to be rated; mature?
@@ZtingWray16 believe it or not, part of me says yes.

As we all know, unfortunately, tensions have been rising between China and Taiwan over the CCP’s growing demand to reunify, while Taiwan refuses to forfeit their independence and sovereignty. China has been conducting more and more aggressive, provocative, military exercises in the Taiwan Strait/South China Sea. Thankfully, neither side has actually initiated any attacks, and I really hope it stays that way and they can come to some kind of peace agreement… A diplomatic solution. I pray that China and Taiwan can set an example to the world, rather than engaging in ANOTHER senseless war! There are already too many wars going on today!
I say all of this to say, instead of going to war, both sides should just continue one upping one another with their video games! lol Sort of like how when some of us idiots here in America have “beef”, they resolve it through rap battles. I mean, it would be cool to see a Taiwan vs China rap battle too, but yeah. First China drops “Black Myth: Wukong”, and then Taiwan hits back with “Nine Sols”! Imagine this is the straw that breaks the camels back (Or should I say the chopstick that broke Panda’s back 😏) but imagine this little competition provokes all out war! Sorry, I shouldn’t even joke about that kinda thing. I must say though, the games coming out of East Asia lately have been insane! Got all the western game devs sweating a bit. lol
