        I love the game to death, but it’s not for everyone. It’s really hard. But in my opinion, no other game comes as close to magic as Noita, and without spoiling anything, the mechanics of the game involving clever use of magic and alchemy allow you to break the world in the game in sometimes hilarious fashion.

          That part does sound fun at least. We do enjoy complex and nuanced magic systems that go into detail. One reason we enjoyed The Magicians is because of that, they really went out of their way to show how magic worked, though we didn’t like that magic was based on pain in that world.

            I’m not sure I’d call it nuanced. It is however very complex, probably more complex than that of any other game; in fact people learn new stuff after thousands of hours of game time.

            But if it doesn’t appeal to you because of other factors, these will probably not make up for it

      Looks interesting if you’re into violence and stuff. Nowadays though we aren’t that much, so we can see why other wizard games that are more social with presumably storylines would be appealing, sadly the most popular one also supports our deaths.

        The game actually rewards you for playing as a pacifist (though the definition is somewhat technical, i.e. summoning a sea of acid to melt your enemies in is is considered pacifist because you didn’t shoot them directly). But it’s perfectly ok not to play it. I was also poking fun at people like me who are somewhat obsessed with the game.

        Lol. From your description here I thought it was going to be really graphic or something. Then I went to the page and looked at it. It’s a cute little pixel graphics. It literally looks like it was made using terraria’s engine

          Falling sand engine, their own. Every pixel is simulated.

          We looked at the videos on steam for it and to us it looked very violent. Graphics don’t have any effect on us on whether something is violent or not, and they were definitely advertising that as one of the main selling points.
