Nine Sols is a damn masterpiece.
The skill ceiling for that game is so incredibly high, and the floor is high enough to make sure you really understand the combat system.
I only discovered it a few weeks ago and I can't seem to stop playing even as my ass gets cut off and handed to me.
It's just so satisfying that it's hard to put into words.
I think this is overlooking quite a lot of direct lies that they told.
This wasn't as simple as "they said it would happen one day". They were saying repeatedly how it would be at launch, and those blatant lies tainted this game permanently for a lot of us.
Even now after it's alleged to be a lot better, I can't bring myself to even reinstall the game. Half because I'm still angry it happened to begin with, and half from embarrassment of feeling scammed
I created a Dumpster Fire category in my steam library for this game, and it'll likely stay there forever
