Just like in any game with a tech tree, players must first start with basic ingredients before moving on to more complex recipes.

Players are then challenged to combine these base elements to create hundreds of items, from simple substances like clay to complex creations like Pinnochio. The game starts with only four basic elements: air, earth, fire, and water.

Little Alchemy 2 is a browser and mobile game that captures this joy in its purest form. From the pixel-simulating roguelike Noita to the classic Skyrim, players are finding joy in experimenting with the magical art of alchemy. Alchemy, the practice of turning one substance into another, has become increasingly popular in video games.
