    Nine Sols is awesome. It gets compared to Hollow Knight a lot, and contrary to many opinions, I think this comparison is fair. It's a metroidvania with a unique aesthetic and great artwork. It diverges in a couple points, though, most of which are positive. For one, the combat in Nine Sols is parry-based.
