Among the many controversies raised by fans regarding The Game Awards, the absence of Nine Sols in any category is undoubtedly the one that should spark the most outrage. An excellent metroidvania that deserves a place of prominence, a recognition that platform games have increasingly lost. It’s an experience worth playing, no matter which console you choose. [Nota do Editor: Nine Sols foi analisado a partir da sua versão para Nintendo Switch.

Nine Sols is an excellent game that is a must-play for all Metroidvania fans and is seriously worth considering for those who are new to this genre. Its precise and satisfying combat, breathtaking art direction, and stellar story make it a worthwhile experience. The high difficulty and unique bosses make it incredibly replayable as well. This game is not just a perfect homage to the games it takes from, but it is its own unique concept as well due to its design, cultural representation and gameplay.

In any other universe, I would balk at Nine Sols’ difficulty. Yet, I gave it a chance, and it more than rewarded me for giving it a moment of my time. Over 20 hours later, I came out of it bruised, battered, and wanting more Taopunk goodness.

Nine Sols will test you, but the atmosphere is stunning, the combat is thrilling, and the story is a fascinating mix of mysticism and sci-fi — so you'll meet the challenge happily. This is the best Metroidvania out there right now. Don't miss it.
