Released for PC back in May, it feels like we've been waiting on Nine Sols for an age. The ridiculously highly-rated action platformer is supposed to be a genuine Game of the Year contender if you're into 2D adventures, and it finally arrives on PS5 and PS4 today (that's the 26th November, if you happen to be reading this article at a later date).
For what it's worth, we'll have a review of Nine Sols in the near future; it can be a challenging game, and we want to make sure that we've got a proper read on the title before delivering a verdict.
Oh, and intrepid editor Sammy actually visited Nine Sols developer Red Candle Games earlier in the year. He documented his Taiwanese excursion in a full feature, which gives some great insight into the studio's creative process:

I have been interested in this one all year and am happy it is finally on consoles. I need a smaller game to play alongside Metaphor, and this will fit the bill nicely.
Nah looks a bit hard for me, im old lol
So excited to finally play this really want to support Red Candle
Congratulations to the team at Red Candle!
Beautiful trophy art too.
I have this on steam deck already, not planning to get it on the PS5. Awesome game.
@ErrantRob I had to do the same but i played a shantae game because of its low difficulty.
anyways PLAY THIS GAME
Haven't long heard of this game but it looks sick, definitely gonna play it
on sale. to pay anything over 20 bucks on a metroidvania that isn't Castlevania or Metroid is a rip-off. Even for The Lost Crown it is now 18USD or something which is actually worth it.
There needs to be another option. “Yes, I will definitely be playing this on Xbox with GamePass”.
Really looking forward to digging into this one!
Nine sols looks really good.definetly was inspired by sekiro.word up son
@awp69 I agree 😎🤣
I’m stoked for this. I downloaded it on Game Pass and will be giving it a go tonight after work!
Getting Hollow Knight vibes which is no bad thing! I’ll probably pick this up on Switch if it’s available there… playing Hollow Knight handheld just felt so right.
@NieR_Dark Hollow Knight X Sekiro is how i've heard it described. The PC release scored an impressive 85 on Opencritic.
Any word on a physical edition?
Sure as hell I'll play it. On a steam deck. Via gamepass.
When I come back from vacation, this'll be one of the first games I jump into
Definitely gonna pick this up on PS5. I was aware about this game but i didn't want to buy on PC and i haven't used Game Pass anymore since 2022 (i just pay when they put the price at 5 bucks, anything more than that is not worth for me). Great news
@Jrs1 There's a Story Mode difficulty! Don't sleep on this, it's one of the best games I've ever played tbh.
@LongSnakeMoan95 Cool maybe i'll give it a look.
Dare I say it, I prefer this to HK. The parrying is epic and combat has more dimensions to it. Clearly, HK innovated first, and Christopher Larkin's OST elevates it. But Nine Sols is my GOTY. Best Metroidvania in years, possibly on par with HK.
