It scratches so many itches. The movement feels so good and the pixel physics are insanely fun.
I usually turn music STRAIGHT off in a game, I didn't even turn it down here.
10/10 fun
10/10 visuals
10/10 game so far
highly varying game-play.
incredibly difficult, at times.
great artstyle.
customizable wand spell slots are fun to mess around with.
enemy in-fighting is fun to watch.
overall a fun game to play.
You get your ass handed to you more often than not, and it's usually your own fault. The depth and potential in the wands and spells is ridiculous and I love it. Noita is crazy difficult but at the same time really chill.
Noita is an absolute gem of a game. You play as this adorable, silly little mage, waddling around like you have no idea what you’re doing. But that’s part of the charm!
The whole game is basically a giant sandbox of chaos. You experiment with wands that either make you feel like an unstoppable wizard or blow yourself up in the dumbest way possible. The world is fully destructible, and every element reacts to everything else—fire spreads, water freezes, and sometimes you just accidentally set off a chain reaction that levels an entire cave.
It’s brutally hard, but every run feels like a unique little story. One minute you’re on top of the world, and the next you’ve accidentally lit yourself on fire and fallen into a pit of poison. And somehow, it’s still fun.
If you like games where you can laugh at your own mistakes and keep coming back for more, Noita is 100% worth your time.
Score: 10/10 – For the silly mage and the beautiful chaos.
Noita is a very unique game and I highly recommend you to pick it up! With its two main selling points being wand building and alchemy, I am sure there are many other reviews focusing on what the game is, what it does well and what not. Most importantly however, this game is extremely difficult, hence why I decided instead to give some very important help for all the beginners out there. This review does contain spoilers, however I truly believe you need to hear these things if you don’t want to suffer for the first 50 - 100 hours playing this game. Also even after reading everything I have to say, you will still be left with enough content to discover on your own.
The beginner player
If you just picked up this game there are some very important points to consider before jumping strait into your first run, or rather your first death (which will come rather earlier then later).
(B1) This game is extremely difficult, I really can’t emphasize this enough. You will die a lot and it will often be caused by total bullshit. I once got sniped by an Ukko while in the holy mountain (safe area)... I don’t know how he got there, but that is Noita for you. The earlier you can accept this fact the better. Don’t despair over "getting Noita’d"!
(B2) Early on you will lose a lot of your HP from random ticks of damage, e.g. stepping on lava, stepping on toxic sludge, catching fire, etc… Luckily there is a very easy fix to all these issues: WATER. Your very first priority in the first level should be finding some water. Also don’t forget to hotkey your water flask (I use my right mouse button since it is that important). While wet you cannot catch on fire, water turns lava into harmless rock, and it turns toxic sludge into more water. So always stay wet and get used to squirting ;)
(B3) Speaking of hotkeys: You should set up and get used to hotkeys for your first one to three wands and one to two items. Always using those slots for the same purposes e.g. wand 1 = DPS, wand 2 = movement, wand 3 = digging, item 1 = water, item 2 = tablet (you can throw the stone tablets, which one of can always be found right of the first level, before the lava lake, at enemies dealing massive damage), will build muscle memory and reduce at least the chaos that is caused by miss clicking wands / items.
(B4) Are you a greedy person? Is it really worth losing 20 HP because you jumped into a pool of lava just to get that singular small gold nugget? The obvious answer is: No! Starting out with Noita you might value gold much more than you should. And while yes you need some gold to be able to buy spells / wands at the holy mountain shops, it really stops holding its value rapidly after just a few levels. A good benchmark to keep in mind is to collect >600 gold in level 1, >800 gold in level 2 (which can be very easily done by digging the gold veins found here!), and >1000 gold in level 3. After that point enemies start dropping so much gold that you really don’t need to worry anymore.
(B5) Last tip for the true beginner. If you start your run with either Levitatium (potion that makes you fly up much higher) or any explosive wand that can shoot a little hole in the side of the mountain you spawn in front of, you can actually go up instead of down! On the top of the mountain you will find the mountain alter, which contains a so called "orb of true knowledge" which gives you a +25 max HP boost (first time collecting it unlocks some spell though) and a tablet. Offering this tablet to the gods by throwing it at the alter you get rewarded with about 100 gold. So depending on your starting layout you can start your run with +25 max HP and +100 gold!
The intermediate player
Having played this game for about 10 to 50 hours most players hit the intermediate wall. This is where you kind of understand the basics of the game, but haven’t actually acquired enough skill in any of its systems to consistently leave the first few levels alive. DO NOT DESPAIR! Every player hits this point and if you can push through it, the game will truly open itself to you.
(I1) The main issue now is a well… skill issue. So what do you do about it? In my opinion the best thing is to focus on is one area at a time. At this point you hopefully minimized the little tick damage from the environment (remember point B2 above about staying hydrated?), so the next big source of damage are the actual enemies. The enemies in this game have ridiculous aim, to the point where if you don’t move they WILL hit you. However, this game is very consistent with its dodging. Basically all attacks have some sort of visual or audio clue when to dodge. For example, the Hiisi shotgunner will always chug his shotgun before shooting. If you get used to flying up or down whenever you hear this sound he will never hit you again.
(I2) Taking about enemies, learn to outplay them. Many enemies, despite them seeming way too strong for the level they first appear in, have significant weaknesses. Robocop not caring about your spark bolds? Well throw some concentrated mana at him, since he is made from metal, it will make very quick work of him. Satan is haunting you in the Mines? Try showing him a nice little puddle of water... turns out he is allergic! Hiisi CEO spawns a million employees? Just stay directly above or below them and watch how they won’t even try to shoot you.
(I3) Generally speaking this stage is where you absolutely should watch some guides, join the discord and ask for some help, read through some wiki pages etc. Look at the end of this review to find some recommendations I highly suggest you engage with. Please realize that this game is one of those, where you kind of need to look at the wiki while playing. Obviously it gets better the more knowledge you accumulate but at first just keep an eye on there while playing. A good habit is to just pull up the wiki page for whatever new spell / item you find and quickly skim through it.
I CANT PUT MORE CHARACTERS IN MY REVIEW, SO THE REST IS IN THE COMMENTS LOL
Brilliant game. Fiendishly hard, very deep with lots to learn. I'm still quite bad at the game, but the more I've played it, the more I've felt it's a truly special game. I do get invested in runs, but my own failures tend to amuse me quite a bit in this game, and I try to take the lessons from each death. I don't get mad -- I just start a new run, and that brand new run will be full of promise until I ruin it, too. I actually am getting better, sure enough, and through all my failures I feel lucky to play such a beautiful game. I can't recommend it hard enough. One of the best games that exist? It doesn't feel like an exaggeration.
It's fine. Some runs you'll get amazing items right off the bat, and also be swarmed to death and die before you get a chance, other runs you get crap items and make it far. It's fun but pretty annoying to die to random whatever stuff and start over. eh. it's ok.
This game doesn't align with any of the games I have every liked but goddamn is it great. You can play however you want and create ultimate weapons of destruction, only to die to a falling lamp.
It took me 29 hours (and 10+ pirated hours) to get my first modded win, next goal is to get a vanilla win. Will probably take 50 years.
The game is simple enough to get started, but has depth way beyond what it seems. Fun game play and great mechanics. 10/10
The only game where you can get hit out of the air by a stray projectile that does 4 damage land in the worlds smallest lava puddle be lit on fire find water jump in it then get electrocuted to death but oh wait i actually somehow survived that then get hit by another 4 damage projectile and die be a common occurrence
Defeating the final boss gives you finnish citizenship. The learning curve is more of a wall, but man is it satisfying. Looking forward to my god run ending in polymorphine, me crying out in anguish, sitting and contemplating life for 10 minutes and then saying right let's try another one
Bought on sale, played few minutes, had no clue how the game works and quickly abandoned the game.
Years later gave it another chance because of the very good reviews and now im hooked. Once you get the mechanics the game gets crazy! limitless ways to play, some spells and stuff seem like exploits and first you don't want to use it but then Noita kicks you in your a** with the next even stronger game mechanic and youre like f*ck it and exploit even more.
there is so much to discover, the world is HUGE (exploration is key in this game and very rewarding).
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! even if you have to get into the mechanics at first. every death gets you closer to mastering the game.
There are also very nice mods in the workshop!
This game is incredible. The learning curve is steep and it is unforgiving so this is not for the faint of heart. Like, my advice to you is to first beat getting over it with bennett foddy as a warmup. If that game's starting over mechanic makes you crazy this one is definitely not for you because it is way worse.
The things that make this game so fun are:
1) Every pixel being simulated allows for unpredictable events to occur in a way I have never seen in another video game. You can be 100 hours in and think you have seen it all when all of a sudden some idiot with a shotgun shoots at a whiskey barrel next to a burning gas pipe and the results will be something new. With every pixel interacting objects can behave in novel ways.
2) The crafting system is unreal. You craft a wand with spells and can combine spells to get absolutely wild effects. It is very fun to figure out how to craft a wand of F*&% everything in that general direction. But be warned, many spells hurt you so craft with care.
3) The sheer amount of content. About 20-60 hours in you will likely defeat the boss. You will likely feel super happy about this and tell the community. They will then inform you that you have "beaten the tutorial." This seems like a joke, but when you start exploring the vast overworld (that you likely did not even realize was there) and start trying the advanced exploring and quests, you will realize they were right.
If you are looking for a fun game with a major challenge and are looking for something that doesn't get stale for a long time, this is an excellent choice.
It's all fun and games until a Kranuhiisi pulls out the blicky and pops one in your noggin' dealing critical damage which leads to your imminent death, which is then ultimately caused by a pixel of exceptional color on the screen.
Having a good run brings vast amounts of dopamine though. (Until the aforementioned or another catastrophe realizes itself upon your poor Minä.)
WOW! Noita on Steamdeck is a really nice experience! The game uses no power & getting 60fps. I'm unsure if PC is different but on Steamdeck anything under 60fps is awful performance. There are workshop mods that make aiming with trackpad an absolute pleasure to use! Binding of Issac & Noita are my best pickup for a quick 20mins session. 100% Recommend Noita!!!
This game has so much customization and cool interactions between spells. It's also insanely difficult. Super easy to sink a ton of hours on it.
This is a lengthy review because I struggled to understand my relationship with this game and because I tried so hard to like it. But in the end, it just wasn't worth the time I invested. On one hand, it is one of the most incredible physics simulators paired with a rich and exciting rogue-like adventure. But on the other hand, it is a game so brutally unforgiving that a player can hardly enjoy what it has to offer without feeling cheated by the game's own systems. I rarely give negative reviews, but this is one game I cannot recommend to anyone but the most masochistic rogue-like and hardcore survival fans with hundreds of hours of free time to spare.
I hope that if anyone does read this, they understand that I am critiquing the game in good faith. I love difficult games, and especially difficult rogue-likes. And while I don't think I'm an elite gamer or anything, I'd say that I enjoy a good challenge more than most people and have a fairly high success rate at overcoming those challenges. I was very excited to play Noita when I learned about it, because it seems to sit right at the intersection of all things I love in gaming. Noita is full of secrets in its procedural world and obscure, chaotic, and complex synergies in its wand-building system. It's truly remarkable in its scope and execution of a very innovative and rich physics systems, and I was often in awe at how detailed this system was within the many diverse biomes. But as I soon found out, learning about the game ended up being more enjoyable than actually playing it. This is because I never felt that I had a chance to cash in on my knowledge and achieve anything in the game, even when RNG was heavily in my favor and I applied my skills to the best of my abilities.
After my first several failed runs, I learned to play slowly, carefully, and cautiously. I learned to build strong wands from starting spells. I learned about early, mid, and late game strategies. And I would say that in 35+ hours of playing, I tried my best to play smart, patient, and incorporate what I learned so I could turn even bad starts into decent runs. I truly tried to "git good," and, more importantly, I wanted to enjoy playing it! But Noita is unforgiving, and even in my best of runs, the game would show its hand and crush any feeling of joy and accomplishment as if to say, "Woah there, you aren't allowed to have FUN playing this game!" And when it takes nearly 30 minutes just to get through the first biome (of which there are 10 before the final boss), and when only roughly 1 out of 5 runs actually prove to offer strong enough spells or health to get past the third biome... well, I start to think about all the other things I could be doing with my time.
If anyone reading this scoffs and reduces everything I’ve just said to a skill issue, I'd agree! This is a skill issue. However, the issue is that the skill floor for playing this game is higher than the ceiling of most rogue-likes on their hardest difficulty settings - even from the very beginning. And when that is the case, I lose interest pretty quickly. Many will disagree with these points of contention, and power to you. I am envious of your undying devotion to suffering. I just wish for a more balanced ratio of damage taken so that I could at least enjoy playing the game while building up the skills needed to beat it at its recommended level of challenge.
If I don't feel that even my luckiest and best runs can make it to the final boss (let alone beat the final boss), then how much fun can I truly have in all the attempts in between? How much fun can I have, even when I become an absolute unstoppable force of nature, when an enemy can randomly pick up a lightning wand and delete me from off screen? And supposing that I did finally beat this game, would it have been worth the hundreds of runs and dozens of wasted Saturday afternoons spent struggling and frustrated? Maybe one day I'll pick this game up again and find that answer for myself. But for right now, I don't think it would be worth it.
The game is incredibly rich in content, offering magical programming, alchemy, puzzles, an infinite map, various attack types, resistances, immunities, and countless imaginative combinations. It can fulfill most of your fantasies about a magical world.
The idea of combining elements has appeared in many games before, but in those games, it often feels like it’s not your skill that’s impressive, but rather the combinations themselves. The uniqueness of Noita’s spell programming lies in the fact that it makes you feel like you’re the one who is impressive for creating these combinations. The difference lies in the freedom of expression and creativity.
However, the cost is also steep: the difficulty curve is extremely steep, and players are forced to learn extensively outside the game, poring over wiki documents, watching various tutorial videos, and spending a lot of time suffering and self-torturing through repeated deaths before they can familiarize themselves with the mechanics. If you just play the practice mode when not using mods, it might be bearable. This is a pilgrimage full of gloom and frustration, and the most intriguing aspect, the heart and soul of it, is very, very far out of reach for general players, especially those who aren't very skilled.
If the difficulty could be adjusted like in Terraria, and if there were support for map and multiple character saves, the situation would likely be much better. As it stands, if players are mainly interested in exploring magical programming and spell combinations, it’s highly recommended to use mods (especially Spell Lib and Wand Dbg) to get familiar with the game’s various mechanics before considering the pure, native experience.
i didn't even complete this game but i had tons of fun with it, don't buy it if you are a casual like me tho
Fantastic game that makes you hate life, like dark souls, but 2d and how can you suck with one less dimension, Noita is how...
I like this game, it gives you freedom of choice in creating weapons, this game also reminds me Terraria.
If you are the type of person that needs everything explained, don't play.
If you don't enjoy games that test you and respect your ability to learn, don't play.
Play this game if you enjoy thinking outside the box, exploring, learning from your deaths, and vast amounts of esoteric activities outside of the main gameplay loop. I have never played another game like Noita, and after 700 hours there are still challenges that I haven't completed and things I haven't done. The community is amazing, the design team is top tier.
The game WILL abuse you, but in the pursuit of knowledge you may learn to abuse it back.
are you a masochist? and do you like exploring? well congratulations this is for you 👍
Noita is amazing, I don't tend to play fantasy games but i love the magic in this game, from the items you can find to the incredible wand building, you really have to see it for yourself.
Oh, and, this game is MASSIVE, yeah, MASSIVE. There is so much content to discover in this game and around its map, I cant even go into detail without spoiling the game, but i will say something, if you are curious about something in this game, go and explore it, if you ever think "huh what happens if i go to the left instead of into the mines" Go to the left, or if you think "what does this thing do?" Experiment. Everything in this game means something, leads somewhere, does something, all of it hidden to one uninitiated in the art, knowledge is truly key here, and I could not recommend it enough.
Also please don't spoil the game for yourself, I beg of you.
an amazing, one of a kind game. one of my favorite things about noita is you can choose how long to play for. you can do the bare minimum and kill kolmi in like an hour, or you can get lost in the insane amount of content and secrets which the game hides mostly in plain sight. the game hasnt spawned its own roguelike subgenre like spire, which isnt surprising considering how unique the game is. it would be quite the challenge to match noita's world-building, wand tinkering, and overall game-feel with its custom engine. i will be watching you with great interest nolla games. also hamis :steamthumbsup:
Very impressive! Wide one's imagination while giving a sense of realism. Creative playing with wand craft with different spells and combined with perks
Interesting game. It's fun ,but hard. I do keep coming back!
If you're looking for a game that involves learning by dying, then pick this up. It's loads of fun, there's a lot of YT support.
Try it
Honestly, it looks simple at first, but while you play you realize that this game has a lot of potential for fun
Fun, very free range, could use some explanations for the wand abilities though. Im not sure how they work.
I couldn't get into this game, personally. It feels a bit *too* open, and more like a sandbox game. Not my speed.
Drink water. Normal water too clean. Drink dirty water. Vomit dirty water. Rats magically emerge from vomit. Drink more dirty water. Make more rats. Blow them up with bombs. Back to drinking water. 10/10 would recommend. Let me drink more swamp water.
Nothing quite like this out there, there are more spell combinations than grains of sand in the universe, everything is destructable, everything matters(in every definition of the word), more secrets than some actual mystery games(a few of which are unsolved to this day).
Would highly recommend looking up a guide for understanding basic wand mechanics.
10/10 otherwise.
yeah, i like the game, but ever since i started playing someone's been trying to contact me about my car's extended warranty...
Beautifully intricate game. You will die many times, but each death is new wisdom.
这个游戏很难，也许需要非常非常多次的尝试，但当你真正了解这个游戏的乐趣，你就会沉迷其中，它的高自由度，以及谜题和世界观会让玩家获得很多乐趣。
This is not a video game. I describe the experience as a sandbox filled with broken glass and fire ants. I recommend it highly.
This is the real thing. This is as genius and timeless as it gets. God bless Nolla Games and the madness they've inspired.
A brilliant, amazing gaming. Others have tried to emulate the wand-crafting system since then, but Noita did it first and best. Love the atmosphere of the game, all the hidden secrets and lore. I "only" have 60-some hours in the game, and I know there's still tons to discover and learn when I revisit it again. You could easily sink hundreds of hours into Noita.
ARG game with extremely punishing Roguelike mechanics.
If you do not associate with the ARG hunters online, you will never, ever figure anything out about this game. Not the spells, not the mechanics, not the element interactions, not the bosses, nothing. It is a social game first and foremost, NOT one you can just play on your own. You will die many many times for no reason other than to pad runtime. Everything in the game is as obtuse and undocumented as possible to support the social/ARG aspect, which essentially ruins the actual gameplay part of it.
As an idea, making smart choices about what spells to take and how to build your wand is a spectacular choice, it rewards players for learning and experimenting and lets you compound your knowledge over time to make it further and further through the game. In execution: everything has been made to be as confusing and unintuitive as possible, where increased power is gained by exploiting unintended mechanics you'll need to find online and looking up obscure or randomized material and spell interactions, and progression is gated behind information you couldn't possibly find on your own if you played the game nonstop for decades.
The concept of "getting Noita'd" tells you everything you need to know about this game. Unfair, unfun, uninteractive, luck-based, wastes your time, punishes playing organically instead of searching online for how you are "supposed" to play the game (which apparently is the most boring way you could think: rote memorization and as slowly as you can).
Noita is a game that encourages curiosity and will reward you for it but also punish you for it. As long as you accept these terms and embrace it Noita is a lot of fun.
The game starts you are plopped down into the world as a wizard with a random wand equipped with random spells. These spells range from the typical stuff you'd expect to some really cool stuff that make you go "Damn.". There are also potions which from my short time playing have some of the wackiest or the most useful effects.
All of what I said above is typical for a quality roguelike. You expect to have cool weapons and such but were Noita really stands apart is the physics. Everything you do in this game has a ripple effect. You accidentally blew up the land above? Well it had a pool of acid and it's now raining down harming you or your enemies. That's one basic example.
It's pretty fun so far.
Reminscent of the physics simulator sandbox games from decades past. In a way, Noita expands upon the sandbox part as well, providing hundreds of different tools (spells) to play around with! Having a ton of fun discovering all the secrets in-game.
Vinkki aloittelijoille:
Ota se perkki mikä telee ku tulee damagee ja sit vaan mee portaaliin kun oot satuttanut ittes
Käytännön läpi ja 3 damagee bossiin 5/5
One of the best wizard simulators ever.
Died electrocuted on my own vomit while tried to fart away all the flatulence that was produced by drinking an entire sea of pea soup. 10/10 must play
Indescribable kind of game, very few are anything like it.
dwarf fortress but a action-rougelike, and some kind of background bullshit
great game, no sex mod though
Adding a review to recommend this game to people who are bad at games!
I was reluctant to get this game because many reviews emphasise its difficulty. I am very bad at games. I've clocked over 300 hours on Minecraft and I've never met the Ender Dragon. I've played over 100 hours on Terraria and have only beaten the first two bosses. I bailed on the Witcher 3 halfway through (a number of times) because I found it confusing.
To give you some idea of my game tastes, some of my favourites are Skyrim, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Inscryption, and Hollow Knight (although it may come as no shock that I haven't beaten that either!)
I really like games with an interesting storyline and characters (which this doesn't necessarily offer, I will admit) and interesting world-building (which I feel this does offer, at least so far!) I love exploration, hidden areas, wandering around feeling kind of lost, and finding interesting and surprising things – this game has lots of that! I also enjoy games with a lot of interactions between materials and items that can be uncovered over time, and I think this game really shines here.
I am really enjoying this game so far. I can see how it would be frustrating if I was playing to win, but if you enjoy exploration like Minecraft and Terraria, or even Metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, I think this game scratches a lot of different itches. The exploration is a lot of fun - every world spawn so far has been very different, and every single playthrough has been different. There are so many different items, potions, etc., and I'm always finding interesting new things.
Again, if you go into this expecting to play through a traditional campaign, I can see how it could be very frustrating. This is a completely different style of game - every single time you die, you start over completely. But I personally almost feel like it's taking some of my favourite aspects of Terraria (finding new and surprising areas and items, interesting enemy fights, painful and unexpected deaths out of nowhere) and removing some of the more tedious stuff. For instance, I start to lose interest in Terraria when I need to start managing chests to keep everything. This is a total non-issue in Noita as I am likely going to die in the next seven minutes anyway! I'm also not really ever paralysed by decision-making and worried I'm going to somehow mess up my character's build, as again, I'm going to die in seven minutes anyway. I have struggled and abandoned games like Dragon Age and Fire Emblem for this reason.
Some important factors that have impacted my experience so far are:
1. If you go into this trying to rush to the next level, it will likely be frustrating, and also from what I have gathered, this is not necessarily the ideal approach. You need money and more powerful items to keep progressing, and much of this comes from your actual exploration of each level. Enemies drop money when you kill them, and some more powerful items are sprinkled throughout each level. So it is worth wandering aimlessly through each level a bit before trying to get to the next stage.
2. Figure out how to use the Water potions. It is pretty straightforward and basically essential to the gameplay. You usually spawn with one, it is easy to refill, and it can be used to wash off most dangerous substances in the early game. Without it, you will die much more frequently!
Given that this is often on sale for about $10, I think it is definitely worth picking up. I may be speaking too soon, but I already feel like I've gotten my money's worth.
Fun game that punishes you each play and makes you want to come back. Reminiscent of old-school Nintendo, with out the Contra code or Game Genie.

What noita gives, noita takes
My experience with this game has been overall good but I don't think I would recommend it to other people. This game has an incredibly deep and fun mechanic- wand building, and the way that it is implemented is almost entirely unique to this game. If you know what you're doing, you can make incredibly good builds pretty much every run. More so than any other roguelike I've played, you definitely make your own luck.
Doing this is where 99% of the fun of the game was for me. Unfortunately, just as much as you can create these super awesome and engaging wands by carefully crafting them, using them feels great until you just die to some random thing out of nowhere. Of course, the more that you do that, you learn and adapt, going further each time, as you memorize where all the instant death sources come from, but at least for me, I think the presence of these run-enders is far too abundant, and I felt like a lot of the time, I was learning something new and having fun, but it immediately got crushed soon after by something out of my control, or not within my depth of knowledge.
I imagine if I spent more time with the game, these sources of frustration would rapidly dwindle, but I don't think that I have the energy or time to force myself to do that these days. The process of recognizing these patterns simply takes time that I don't care to commit.
Given how overwhelmingly positive this game is reviewing I almost feels criminal for me to have an opposing opinion, but here we are.
To preface this, Noita is a rather unique pixel physics roguelike, with loads of room to experiment and get entangled with.
The art is beautiful and the gameplay feels quite polished and I'm sure the people that sink hundreds of hours into arcade type games could sink that and more into Noita.
For me personally though, this just isn't my cup of tea.
As you can see, I have only put in 8 hours into Noita and have just found it to be frustrating, boring and just not fun.
Whilst it is true that there is a degree of repetitiveness to rogue like games, I just found this one to be rather uninspired (and I do like other Roguelikes like Hades, Slay the Spire, Bindings of Isaac, Dead Cells etc.).
I can respect the idea behind the game and find aspects of it to be very cool but ultimately I just don't want to play this game anymore and for that alone I personally would not recommend this game.
