Noita is chemistry. Noita is Life.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a dungeon crawler game and it\u2019s pretty unique. The more I play the more I see the work they put in and man, it\u2019s something.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a game designed from a bottom up perspective and Nolla Games did an amazing job. It doesn\u2019t feel like early access.<\/p>\n
Runs on 2012 laptop and \u201cold\u201d Surface Pro 3, check.<\/p>\n
Sound and music are on point and once again, quite unique: when you start being in trouble, there\u2019s this open ended mid 70s psychedelic prog rock soundtrack fading in and out (never quite the same), with distorted guitars, flutes and tambourine, phaser and chorus effects etc. It just works with the little wizard world, check. (not only it just works, but it\u2019s REFRESHING OH MY GOD THANK YOU)<\/p>\n
Controls are perfect, both on keyboard and mouse and gamepad, check.<\/p>\n
The randomization is extremely good. I haven\u2019t gotten stuck somewhere because of procedurally generated levels. It feels fair most of the time but sometimes it isn\u2019t. When it isn\u2019t, it\u2019s hilarious. Like you land somewhere with 3 enemies shooting at you at the same time but one falls in a fire pit and starts burning the entire room by himself while you\u2019re trying to escape, jumping in the water and shooting arrows at acidic flying thingy from under the surface. <\/p>\n
I got stuck under my own pile of dirt once, created from a spell and I didn\u2019t have enough air and almost died and then I couldn\u2019t move at all so I had to use a bomb and it, of course, killed me. Chaos as a Service, check.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a really hard game though. I can\u2019t get past the Snowy Depths (level 4) because enemies become more aggressive than the US government on migrants. It does say a lot. The loot is too rare and it\u2019s difficult to deal with electricity without getting murdered in one second (water and electricity, you know). I did angered the Gods \u2013I don\u2019t know how and it didn\u2019t go well.<\/p>\n
Noita has this incredible feel of being alive, thanks to its technical achievements. Playing other 2D games feels like some fake theater things after playing this one. They feel so<\/em> very static.<\/p>\n Tiny pieces of glass on my bike commute looked like pixels today. Pixels. Chemistry.
