Noita is a simulational sandbox where every pixel is given some level of physics based on the matter its made of and designed to realistically interact with the other pixels around it. Based on the little I've seen from others talking about the game I understand that there's a whole nest of secrets beneath the surface, but damn if I could get anywhere with it.

The simulational aspect is a technical feat, no doubt about it, but I just couldn't find a hook to keep me exploring. The starting areas were pretty bland and despite the novel ways you can interact with the world it ends up being more an exploration of all the ways you can get yourself killed.

For the right person this is a very engaging and deep sandbox but for me it was just a bunch of uninteresting pit falls I couldn't compel myself to try and work past. A great tech demo but not a very engaging game.
