Noita

“Noita provides a memorable experience with a unique physics engine that is integral to understanding the game.”

“Oddly though, because of the crazy random nature of this title and the ability for it to get totally out of hand, it also happens to be a great one to just boot up for a spell (I'm not sorry) and putter around with; much like the games that inspired it.”

“Noita is a game that I generally liked when it was in early access, but the problems that I listed over a year ago have been exacerbated, and the parts that I liked have been minimized by a barrage of new content that makes it harder than ever to piece together a worthwhile arsenal.”

“Noita is a roguelike with a lot of love behind it, with mechanics not seen before in the genre and with an above-average difficulty. Only recommended to the brave with time and those who like the genre, because it is not for everyone.”

“Original, challenging and incredibly deep, Noita is a roguelike capable of surprising every time you launch a new game. If you like tough challenges and love this genre of games, Noita is really for you. It doesn't cost much and guarantees plenty of hours of exploration, disruption, killing and fun. But beware: it's tough. Really tough!”

“Noita's freedom for experimentation and creative spell crafting makes this roguelike a distinct spin on the genre.”

“Noita is an exciting experiment that grew into a tense, complicated, and altogether satisfying game of self-expression and discovery. It allows players a level of freedom often unseen in rogue-likes at the expense of a clear and distinct visual language, and situations that become difficult to quickly parse.”

“A rock-hard procedural tinder box brimming with imagination and chaos.”

“Noita, developed by Finnish indie studio Nolla Games, is a brutally challenging and endlessly creative roguelite where every pixel is physically simulated. Players explore procedurally generated caves as a wand-wielding witch, crafting spells, triggering chaotic chain reactions, and discovering hidden secrets in a deeply interactive world. The game’s pixel art and Finnish-language humor mask an incredibly complex simulation engine that allows for emergent gameplay and wild experimentation. Though death comes swiftly and often, Noita is a roguelite masterpiece that rewards persistence, curiosity, and creativity with jaw-dropping moments and endless replay value.”

“Noita, the new roguelite debut from Nolla Games, promises “every pixel is simulated”, and it delivers on an explosive physics sensation where gravity and the elements are your best friend and worst nightmare. This platformer action game has roguelite permadeath and a difficulty curve that unfortunately leads to repetition ad nauseum in some of its core gameplay loop.”

“Like any roguelike, Noita's - as much as the player's own - fortunes can falter in that they're heavily-reliant on the luck of the draw.”

“Noita is a truly great experience that should only be played by those with patience”

“Noita isn't for everybody, but anyone who loves to learn a game's intricacies while getting mercilessly slaughtered at the drop of a hat will find a lot to enjoy.”

“Noita is a true standout title in the roguelike genre, featuring endlessly deep gameplay that plays off of its engaging pixel art style.”

“Noita combines classic roguelike progression with complex RPG-style spellbuilding and sets it in an incredibly dynamic environment.”

“A reinvention of a childhood favorite of mine, The Powder Toy, Noita amazes with its pixel-perfect simulation of physics, chemistry, and magic.”

“If the worst thing you can say about a rougelite is that it kills you, then Noita can't be that bad. I'm a big fan of this game and can't wait to play some more.”
