I've no real way to put into words just how incredible this game is
I've no real way to put into words just how incredible this game is. Taken completely by surprise by the devs who previously made two horror games - Nine Sols is an absolutely stellar and masterpiece metroidvania that has genre-defying writing and some of the best boss fights I have ever seen in a 2d game, period. With games like this on the market, there is no justifying "waiting" for Silksong.

Exactly what I hoped for
There's a very thorough, well written, and highly upvoted negative review on here that almost convinced me not to buy this game. I'm leaving this positive review to cancel out that one. I'll be going through the negative review point by point, using its format. If you don't want to sit and read through all of that (a very good choice), here's the summary: 1. The first boss is called Yingzhao and you will not beat him on your first try. 2. Yes, the intro is slow, but the story is very, very big, and you're going to have a real hard time if you rush through it. 3. You can, within the review period, unlock Qi Balancing and Jade Tech and experience what the combat is actually like and why Sekiro is a good comparison, but you will be cutting it close. If you get that far and still aren't satisfied with the direction the game is going, no one could fault you for deciding that it isn't for you and refunding it. Now then, let's prevent anyone else from being swayed by a somewhat silly review written by someone who waited with great excitement for 2 full years, but couldn't give the game 2 full hours.

One of my best buys this year
This game is nothing like Hollow Knight, yet absolutely everything that made you fall in love with it all these years ago: rich world, stunning visuals, satisfying combat, compelling central mystery, etc. You owe it to yourself to experience Nine Sols.
