Surprise! Nine Sols rips!
Far from a surprise, actually, I've heard nothing but glowing praise about this game, but it's all warranted. I got through the first major boss and everything about it was wonderful. The art is gorgeous; vibrant environments, striking character designs, all with an ink-on-parchment aesthetic.
Though as a warning to folks sensitive to gore, there's a lot of it! Very quickly!
The action is tight and responsive, and, as you might expect from a game taking inspiration from Sekiro, the party mechanic is incredibly satisfying to use once you get the hang of it.
It's also a good amount longer than the games I've been looking at lately, so for the first time in a while, I'll be keeping on with this game, hopefully through to the end!
