Noita Reviews

A beautiful game that is brutally challenging and extremely complex in depth.

Impeccable wizard simulator. You start out with little sparkles and end up with absurd combinations of spells that delete enemies so hard the game crashes. Once you get really good you can figure out how to make these combinations out of the sparkles. (Be sure to give them suitably descriptive and grandiose names, such as 'recursive explosion,' 'infinite homing sawblades,' or my personal favorite, 'teleport into sun.')

After nearly 30 hours of playing, and not looking up anything. I have come to the conclusion that its not nearly as good as the fan boys said it is. Sure it has been a fun game at times. More often though it is not. I am a casual gamer, but I do enjoy hard games from time to time. Noita on the other hand is not just a hard game, it seems that is does not want you to play. Long and short of it. If you are a casual games try not to waste your time on this one. It is not worth the headache.

Even though i never wrote any Review before this one Noita deserves my praise. So, what can i say. Noita is one of my most played games of all time and that's for a reason. The World feels incredible, like it's alive and dangerous, you get the feeling that the there are things happening in this world even though you didn't neccesarily participate in whatever is going on there. There is always something to explore, or an interaction to try out. The satisfying Physics system plays its part in this too. I will never grow tired of exploding Walls, dissolving metal, electrocuting puddles or evaporating poisonous liquids. The Wand System with its flexibility is not just bywork but a complex and rewarding system on its own. While experimenting with different Wand Setups regularly gets you killed, it is enourmously satisfying when you get the hang of what makes a Wand good. But be warned this game does not like explaining things and has no Roguelite progression other than you gaining Game Knowledge, most if not all things have to be discovered by yourself. Knowledge is a key component to this game and you have to work hard (die a lot) to even be able to see more than just the first few Levels. In addition to all that, this game has great modding support and integrates the Steam Workshop, which makes it incredibly easy to mod the living hell out of this game.

Even if you ignore the secrets and easter eggs, noita is a well put-together game that serves as an excellent time waster.

It's an incredibly deep game, with satisfying exploration, as-yet-collectively-unsolved mysteries, and fantastic wand-building diversity!

I decided when i bought this, that I would play this and only this until I beat it without mods. I'm still trying, but it's a very fun challenge. Worth $20

Absolute torture. A degrading experience. Superb. 10 out of 10

Playing for 8 hours straight just to get rekt by your own doing because you got too cocky due to the power and joy your wand brings you. 11/10 would play for another 372 hrs.

This game has tested me on so many levels. Was is a test of resilience and perseverance, or was it a masochistic addiction? A perfect encapsulation of what Noita does to a person: It's not just a game; it's a philosophical grindstone. You don't level up your stats you level up your judgment, your restraint, your awareness. The game punishes greed, mocks overconfidence, and rewards patience with the tiniest crumbs of progress. And somehow, that’s enough to pull you back in, again and again. I've de-installed it 15 times and still came back by determination (or, yes, masochism) than anything else. It's a brutal teacher and I finished only 1 full run. That's huge. I skipped sections, learning to say no to risk is part of the inner leveling up. I became cautious not out of cowardice, but out of respect for what the game had taught me. Noita is harder than Dark Souls, in a way. DS trains you to master timing and systems. Noita asks you to master yourself. And it never stops whispering, "Try again. This time you’ll be smarter." Noita is the search for knowledge within one. Happy learning.
