How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Noita
Every pixel of the world is simulated: water flows, wood burns, acid corrodes. You're a wizard descending through mines and building wands by combining spells. You almost always die through your own fault, in spectacular ways.
