What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The hand drawn art style is gorgeous, with detailed 2D characters layered against beautiful 3D environments that give the world a surprising amount of depth.
Gameplay wise, Nine Sols is much more linear than I expected.

The sound design in Nine Sols is excellent.
I played the entire game on my Steam Deck OLED at High settings, where it ran flawlessly at 90 FPS without any stutters or noticeable frame drops.
