Nine Sols isn’t just one of the best Metroidvania games I’ve ever played... it’s one of the best games I’ve ever experienced, period. And I’ve been gaming for 30 years.

It was my first metroidvania game and I had a lot of fun.

Imho much better than the second one!

- better music
- better dialogues
- no tamagotchi john
- better gunplay
- straight to the point gameplay

In other words: more game, less movie

This game has everything a profit-minded Ferengi like me could ask for: complexity, beauty, and just the right amount of ruthless competition.

The Look of Wealth
The graphics are dazzling, like the glint of fresh latinum under a station’s lighting. The environments are so richly detailed you’d swear you were walking through a Vorta’s idea of paradise. Every ability you unleash is a spectacle, the kind of thing that makes you want to show off to friends and rivals alike. Trust me, the visuals alone make this venture worth your time.

Invest in the Gameplay
Ah, the gameplay—a sprawling web of opportunities. The skill tree is the kind of challenge I admire: intimidating at first, but oh so satisfying once you figure out how to work the angles. Every piece of loot, every skill, every build feels like a potential windfall waiting to be cashed in. You’ll fail sometimes, sure, but the thrill of the chase makes it worthwhile.

Business Partnerships
Playing with others is a gamble—sometimes they help you strike gold; sometimes they’re just siphoning off your profits. But isn’t that part of the fun? Coordinating builds, trading loot, and occasionally squabbling over drops—it’s like running a family business. Messy, but ultimately rewarding.

The Latinum Sink
Now let’s talk microtransactions. Grinding Gear Games knows their audience—they’ve got cosmetics so tempting you’ll be reaching for your wallet faster than a Ferengi at an auction. Are they necessary? No. But if you want to look like a galactic mogul while slicing through hordes of monsters, you’re going to have to shell out. And honestly? You’ll enjoy every extravagant, unnecessary purchase.

Final Thoughts
Path of Exile 2 is the kind of game that understands what we’re all after: power, prestige, and just enough chaos to make it interesting. It’s challenging, addictive, and utterly rewarding for those willing to put in the time. If you’ve got the lobes for it, there’s no better way to spend your time—or your latinum.

10/10—The bigger the grind, the bigger the profit.

First 40 minutes... games runs great with everything on max (besides shadows) + RT on.

It's good. It's fun. I can shoot bad people.

One of the best games I have ever played!

At first I thought "Oh boy... it will be a DOS2 clone." but I was totally wrong. It's really a Baldur Gate 2 successor. Sure it's not RtwP combat but it's still awesome.

One of the best horror games I've ever played.

DSFix + Wulf's Dark Souls Connectivity Mod (DSCM) and you have the best time of your life!

Zanzibart... forgive me...
