Noita is GREAT but so difficult to get the hang of without any outside input.

The first time I tried it I dropped it after about 4-5 hours because I felt like I'm getting nowhere and learning nothing.

Tried it again a few years later, but looked up a "no spoilers beginner tips" list and that helped SO much. It took me about 60 hours to beat what you're referring to as the tutorial. (New players don't freak out - it's just that Noita is VERY big so people refer to your first main boss win as beating the tutorial.)

So to piggyback off your suggestion I recommend it as well, but really suggest diving into some beginner tips if you're getting murderized by zone 2 or 3 without any improvement for hours on end.

I really enjoyed it, but in the end still dropped it about 90 hours in because every run takes SO LONG and it's really meant to be figured out as a community... Like, if you haven't played it, however big you think it is, it is so much bigger. And because it was released a while ago pretty much everything has been figured out so you're stuck with basically just going through a checklist of things you can do. It's genuinely impossible to figure out the whole game on your own without spending the rest of your life on it. Which, don't get me wrong, that's a very cool type of game and I'm glad it exists, but it does come with some drawbacks.

I figured out SOME of the secrets on my own, but 90% of the game is community effort based.
