Nov 19, 2020I don’t envy any roguelike unfortunate enough to release immediately after Hades — that game made every run feel distinct and provided a persistent narrative justification for the repetition inherent to the genre. I obviously can’t expect smaller developers to match that effort, but what Hades does well underlines the fact that so many roguelikes let stellar ideas go to waste, lost amid endless monotony. Noita is a spectacular technical showcase in desperate need of a more fully-formed game.

Sep 25, 2019Noita is in early access on Steam and other platforms right now, which means some of the more broken spells and perks could be adjusted, making the game less like a slot machine waiting for the right combination to pop up. But until that happens, there’s something truly magical about being a god among the chaos, walking straight out of the fire with nary a scratch. [Early Access Review]

Oct 17, 2020It’s rare that a developer is able to wrestle this kind of ambitious technical witchery into the shape of an actual game, but Noita pulls it off. Fast and loose, or tight and controlled? It doesn’t matter, I’m having fun either way.
