An actual diamond in the rough, which will somehow find it's way into your bloodstream to kill you out of spite. Noita is a game with zero handholding. No game is like it. EVERY pixel is simulated. Threw a bomb to get to a heart? well now you've set fire to the wood around you, which caused a potion of acid to fall over and now you're melting to death while far enough to have the false illusion of safety. This game will beat you to a bloody pulp, it takes a certain kind of stubborn player to enjoy. Also has an incredible modding community, and the devs are back making updates again. I am not exaggerating when I say this is my favourite game ever.

10 / 10, once you get the hang of things you rarely feel like you've had no say in your death, it's a bit rough in some places but with the right knowledge that just adds to it's charm. Balance is an illusion, some spells will actively cause you more harm than any enemy ever could, but with a single other spell turn into level clearing murder machines. Other spells have near zero downside to ever using. Incredible wand-building system which gives more build diversity than any procedural roguelike could ever. Flaming sawblades that lash out tentacles homing in on wands in the world only to explode into actual living deer which rapidly multiply and explode? Doable. Genuine actual ballistic missiles which run away from enemies, eating terrain then after a delay firing out a square of tiny death particles, only to cast another wand which turns each and every little particle that just created into literal nukes? This game won't stop you. Magic which creates massive bubbles of ice, flooded with water, teleporting around chaotically towards enemies only to latch on to them, downing them while repeatedly firing circles of healing magic only to prolong their suffering? Just hope you don't drown yourself. This game knows no bounds. The pixel sim is beautiful and brutal, a thorny rose which will cause you to bleed out just by looking at it. Alchemy which explodes, burns, freezes, zaps, melts, and tries it's hardest to murder you. Come across the right reactions and you might brew flasks of infinite wealth and vitality, or melt entire biomes with all consuming void liquid.

Noita is a game like no other. And if you've got the patience, you can go on endless self imposed challenges, play with even more content mods, speedrun to beat the game in literal seconds, there are users with thousands upon thousands of hours for a reason. I will never find a game quite like noita again, a literal masterpiece made of divine spite from a handful of sadistic arson-inclined finnish people behind other brilliant games like Baba Is You (this game also has reality bending tomfoolery, to a lesser extent!) and The Swapper.

Do yourself a favour, buy this game. If you can't handle it, I understand.
