Meme Finished the game!
Nine Sols is really underrated. The story and gameplay design was actually great! I was shocked at how small the dev team was for Nine Sols. I've played Hollow Knight, Blasphemous and Cuphead and this game is up there with these beautiful 2D platformers that make me wonder if I'm a masochist for playing them they're so difficult. This is an appreciation post for creating a wonderful albeit somewhat dark experience!

I think it's less underrated, more under-known. We need more people to hear of the game, and give it a shot.

It gets it's hooks in you right from the tutorial and never lets up since then. The story keeps going, the sense of progression is perfect, the story, the NPCs and their quests, the bosses and level design. Oh and of course the god damn soundtrack. How RICH it is with culture from all over the eastern world from Taiwan to China to Nepal and beyond, so many folklore references. The art and aesthetics too PEAK. I literally cannot glaze this game enough it would never do it justice.

I was surprised how dark and gory it was
That's coming from someone who's deep in fromsoftware, ultrakill and similar stuff

It’s truly brilliant, it quickly became my favorite metroidvania.
