I beat Noita in 3 hours, am I playing the game correctly??

[Hyper Technic]

The boss at the end only took like 5 hits and then everything turned to gold. I get you might need to explore but when focusing on the objectives was I supposed to beat it in 3 hours??

[Prodeses]

Nah, the world record is 2 seconds (I'm not even joking).

But to be bit more serious, you beat the game. I'd say that's more important than how long it is supposed to take. You have learned to control the greed, learned to build decent wands and learned to play cautiously and respect the dangerous enemies.

Assuming your run wasn't just blind luck.

IMO You play it correctly if you enjoy your time.

It was absolutely blind luck, I got the invis powerup and randomly stumbled upon a black hole wand

Well then, back to training. As an advice, things I listed in first post are things you should study and learn.

If you actually want to compare, my normal runs last 40-60 mins. Longest took maybe 2 month (real time, no idea of ingame time).

sure, you beat the game, but what's your progress on your spells, enemies, and perks?

The game has multiple endings the 'true' ending is supposed to take 10s of hours to achieve, when you get the option to get the Sädekivi take it and deploy it in the laboratory(not the work itself though) and then start exploring the surface of the world.

Congrats :D you have beated the game.
Normal run for experienced players usually takes 1h.
Boss is easy, the real problem is getting through the levels and each level has it's own difficulties and enemies to fight against while trying to get to the boss.

Real journey is trying to get all secrets and achievements of Noita.
So start exploring the map more and experiment with spells.

maybe now you will understand

You beat the final boss, but there's a lot more game than just completing the work

[1337Dude]

Pretty much. This is an iceberg kind of game where a lot of it is under the surface. It's fun to explore on your own.

Not really worth to try in my opinion. Game is just way too random and buggy. Further I got was to burn 33 orb boss to 1/3 hp before game crashed and took save file with it.

You can just one shot him if you understand how modifier interaction works. It's a challenge, but it is fun to take it on at least once I think.

New game+ is just looping mess of biomes without any logical order where you cant really find the orbs if you going in blind. On the other hand using map or orb atlas makes it trivial. Just blackhole from A to B and hope to avoid polymorph or game breaking crash.

Only interesting part comes from trying to build powerfull enough wand without copying one online. Still about 15 hours to crash the game while firing it isnt worth it.

I know this is true and have watched these types of runs many times, and still have absolutely zero idea how it is possible. It just doesn't make sense in my brain.
