Pros
- Nine Sols is kinda similar and very good. Not as satisfying as Sekiro in my opinion but it's probably the closest to it.
- My backlog is rich, I’m playing through nine sols for the first time.
- Solateria just released on switch combat like nine sols, it's fantastic
- Parent context: I played the whole game at normal, but lowered the difficulty for the final boss, and finished the game. I'm at peace with it. Reply: Still a 10/10 game but it sucks to have ended on a note like that
- I finished just last week on standard, also a top game for me. Bosses are incredible, I didn’t backtrack or grind that much and completed the skill tree no problem. ... the game didn’t overstayed its welcome, had perfect length, nice sto...
Cons
- I bounced off it. Found it way too punishing. ... in Nine Sols, if you mistime a parry: you are dead. Okay well not entirely, but the punishment is WAY bigger. ... I beat my head against the second or third boss for so long that I got si...
- It's weak as a metroidvania, but the combat and bosses are really good.

I bounced off it. Found it way too punishing. ... in Nine Sols, if you mistime a parry: you are dead. Okay well not entirely, but the punishment is WAY bigger. ... I beat my head against the second or third boss for so long that I got sick of it. To the point that I didn’t even feel like playing it on story mode anymore.

It's weak as a metroidvania, but the combat and bosses are really good.
Overall, Nine Sols is a 10/10 for me. I really appreciate it. Beautiful world, good enough story, tight combat, well-crafted map. It has everything. Definitely in my top 3 favorite MVs.
It’s criminally underrated. It literally brought me back to my childhood joy in gaming just like Ori and the Blind Forest did.
For no particular reason playing through nine sols again. Somehow simultaneously one of my favorite games of all time
