>meticulously farm hearts
no, you learn how to git gud until the jungle and then use the heartmage trick to get an easy few thousand HP.
>wands early game
no, you either go to the fungal caverns or you just dash forward because the wands in mines and coal pits are usually not that good.
>get half the orbs
if you are at the point that you are collecting orbs, you definitely like this game. anyone who didn't would have given up long before going for orb runs.

skill issue. polymorphine is the only thing that is truly dangerous.

Imagine if Nolla sent a ghost or unkillable enemy after the player if they linger more than 3 mintues per floor.

>How is Noita considered a good game?
It's not, it's anti-fun. Plenty of Soul though.

Played it around launch. Once people started figuring out the game has routes that require staying alive for 10+ hour runs, I lost interest.

i like noita but i feel like a run isn't fun if i don't find a digging wand in the first area

>make a "massive rock seeking enemies" wand
>go to a new structure from the recent update
>rocks everywhere
Funny.

>aug 12 2024
holy fuck, you scared me. i almost had to launch the game to check what you were talking about. that was a close one (i have a new years resolution that i will not play noita this year because i get too sucked in).

Not anti-fan but anti-gamey in most aspects. The fun is in figuring out how to fuck over game to avoid it fucking over you, because it doesn't make an attempt to appeal to you in any way.

>not a single heart spawned in the jungle
what now?

Games which make the player feel like shit are the most addicting.

>>700999234
you kill the dragon for an automatic heart, you go into lukki lair. or you die and start over. that's what, 15 minutes of lost time? big deal.

>>700999431
last time I fought the dragon it spawned with its mouth over my character and I died immediately
motherfucker now I want to play it again

Once upon a time speedrunners were people, who were exploring the game as a program to find out the ways to go fast. Now they are all obnoxious cunts, who for some reason has also provoked many developers into adding speedrunning elements in every single game.

Noita is like lightning a firework and sometimes it goes big boom and you clap, but sometimes it doesnt.

I wouldn't say it's a good game, but there's entertainment to be had.

>>701000016
It's a troll move to not give Noita players a ghost though, since they let themselves spend 30 minutes in mines and coal pits instead of playing the game.

>>700990352
Niche game for a niche audience.

>>700990352
Noita is a good dick around game

Every single roguelike or roguelite is shit.

Esoteric autism video games hit well with a particular niche
You wouldn't get it because you're not ascended

>>701000623
relatively cheap games, high replayability

how are they shit exactly
