Noita – roguelite where every pixel is simulated

Yeah. Some games fix it by having small enough dungeons that scouring them all isn't such a big deal (Brogue comes to mind). Others use a hunger clock (I think Spelunky's ghost is actually the best hunger clock I've seen).

I think Noita would benefit from harder monsters, with much higher gold drops (or cheaper shops), and a tight hunger clock. Though that's somewhat at odds with the cool side dungeons (which are already at odds with the rest of the game).

agree with need for more variation on combat mechanics but i absolutely hope the don’t add anything to rush me through this magical game.

I think something to rush the player is necessary for it to work well as a roguelite.

But I also think Noita has enough cool exploratory stuff in it doesn't necessarily have to be a roguelite. It'd also be a good game with some fast travel options and a system of respawn points.
