  • 92 Read our review policy Nine Sols A masterful metroidvania that builds on Sekiro-style combat and tells a great sci-fi story too.

  • استودیوی Red Candle Games با Nine Sols بار دیگر نشان داده که چگونه یک تیم مستقل و کوچک می‌تواند اثری خلق کند که به اندازه تولیدات استودیوهای بزرگ، تأثیرگذار و ارزشمند باشد. این بازی بیش از یک تجربه سرگرم‌کننده، سفری عاطفی است که از ابتدا تا انتها مخاطب را درگیر خود می‌کند. داستانی عمیق و تأثیرگذار، دنیایی بصری که زیبایی و اسرار را در هم می‌آمیزد، و گیم‌پلی‌ای که چالشی معنا‌دار و لذتی وصف‌ناشدنی را در یک قالب پُرمَغز ارائه می‌دهد، همگی از ویژگی‌هایی هستند که این اثر را به یک استاندارد تازه در بازی‌های مستقل تبدیل می‌کند.

  • Nine 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. I, of course, would have preferred a waypoint system or some stronger writing with the handling of some character NPCs, but I’m finding myself largely still thinking about how much I enjoyed Nine Sols. Its overall score is firmly planted in my brain, but where it stands in the larger Metroidvania hall of fame is yet to be seen. I think I need to take some time to meditate on it.

  • Combat 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.

  • Ein fantastisches Metroidvania mit durchdachten Kampfmechaniken und überraschend menschlichen Charakteren in einer brutalen Welt.

  • This atmospheric Metroidvania is mechanically, emotionally, and philosophically electrifying.

  • Em um gênero tão concorrido como o dos metroidvanias, Nine Sols brilha com mecânicas recompensadoras de combate, batalhas desafiadoras e uma história emocionante que une conceitos de religião e ciência para criar uma ambientação única.

  • Nine Sols masterfully combines 2D action with Souls-like mechanics, paying tribute to games like Hollow Knight and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The unique "Taopunk" setting creates a fresh and original world, while the bosses serve as standout moments, enhancing the game’s deep, though occasionally inconsistent, narrative. Nine Sols is well worth your attention with its distinctive world, thrilling combat, and unforgettable boss battles.

  • Nine Sols destaca por su estética y jugabilidad, pero ciertos problemas de diseño lo alejan de la perfección.

  • Nine Sols nos ofrece una experiencia de acción pulida a su máximo nivel, pero a veces empañada por unas peleas demasiado largas y tediosas. Un combate que se siente como una prueba de resistencia, pero con mecánica tan precisas que da gusto estamparse contra los bosses
