Andrew Duncan of GameGrin reviews Noita, writing: "I’ve never hidden the fact that I dislike the concept of roguelikes and roguelites, because I just hate having my progress ripped away from me. However, I have an incredible fondness for games that allow me to destroy literally everything that stands in my way: cue Noita.
A side-scrolling pixel-based roguelite that sees you trying to unlock the secrets of the dungeons ahead of you, where every pixel can interact with every other pixel. Wood burns, acid melts, explosions disintegrate and so on..."
MonsterVine: "I really enjoyed this game, and it has that one more run quality to it that you really want from a roguelike. "
Brandon Havel of The Koalition writes: Noita is a 2D platformer roguelite developed by Nolla Games where every pixel is simulated. This is not a relaxing dungeon crawler that will hold your hand to epic loot. You will be tossed into a world where every pixel actively hates your very existence with no clue why you’re even there…and it’s great! The absence of any kind of story might be off-putting to some, but the truth is, there is a story here. Along with everything else in the game, the story has to be discovered instead of given.
KeenGamer: "Noita, the new roguelite debut from Nolla Games, promises 'every pixel is simulated', and it delivers on an explosive physics sensation where gravity and the elements are your best friend and worst nightmare. This platformer action game has roguelite permadeath and a difficulty curve that unfortunately leads to repetition ad nauseum in some of its core gameplay loop."
