Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to litter this game with god awful early 2010s/late 2000s memes? It dates parts of this game like decade old milk. Other than that it's a fantastic game lol.

Just simply play raw Afterbirth instead you will not regret it

love the game, love the build diversity and finding new interactions, but i suck at the game

your a naked boy running around in your moms sex dungeon

i used to sit in the college cafeteria and spend hours breaking this game over and over again instead of studying and now im a dropout so thats cool


not as hardcore as kirby but still good

Binding of Isaac for me is my perfect "pick up and play" game. I already sunk dozens of hours on the WIIU version, but already have close to 100 on Switch, with all of the non-greed mode endings complete. It's simple in look and borderline repulsive at times, yet those seemingly bizarre factors create such a wildly different and unforgettable experience every new run.

Also, having now just beat LoZ NES, I love how the dungeon format is almost exactly the same here as the dungeons in that original game were. You could really tell the devs were huge fans of the genre/style and polished it up to great lengths.

while the game has a lot of issues in the form of an extremely bloated item pool. sometimes the rooms that are generated are the definition of trolling the player. also the bad payouts in the form of troll bombs or spider chests sometimes can get a little tiring since it happens more often than it should but overall I think this game ended up being one of my favorite roguelikes

Play isaac or I’ll personally find you

Le quito media estrella porque me desenganché cuando salió...

La expansión como tal está genial, pero Delirium es un asco de jefe.

Uma DLC do original, na qual implementa bosses itens e algumas mecânicas, muito bom, só o preço que é meio excessivo.

A solid roguelike with some charming art and a ton of challenge. Dunno what else I can say honestly.

"ISAAAAAAAAC!"
BEST roguelike ever!
One of the best games I have played...

Go read the review of the Rebirth edition, just wanted to point I own also a physical edition for Switch.

fun getting all the retarded synergies and breaking the game

Edmun McMillen is the worst best game designer I know

You can play this game for 2,000 hours and still find new and fun item combos.

I've always felt eerily connected to this game-. my born-again crazy mom has called me a "sacrificial lamb" and confiscated books and drawings. she never locked me in the basement but blah blah blah metaphors for being in the closet blah blah blah insert theory about isaac being trans etc etc etc

I've sunk 200+ hours into this game, and will likely sink hundreds more. Isaac has easy to understand mechanics for the average gamer but comes with a lot of depth, owing to the many items, characters, trinkets, and enemies available. For the full experience, you'll be playing with a second monitor on the wiki or platinumgod to remember what the item you just picked up does. Still, the complexity is easy to understand once you get into the game, and not as hard as some other games with a lot of depth (like Monster Hunter).

I've unlocked every character you can in this version, and a lot of achievements (I had like 50% of them, which is like 150 or something). Still, there is a lot left for me to do. You definitely get your money's worth, what's frustrating is that some of the achievements and challenges just feel cheap, as opposed to a fun challenge. Challenges like Ultra Hard that gatekeep achievements can be pretty cancer when you're spending most of the time just holding R to reset for a better run. I understand it's a rogue-like, but it doesn't have to be like this.

The state of the items in this game leave something to be desired, as there are way too many bad items that dilute the item pool, especially items that have the same purpose or are just powercreeping. The next major DLC update seems to have solved many of these items, but not without nerfing a few unnecessarily.

The complaints I have still can't overshadow the many hours of fun I had in this game, learning the more synergies and exploring the lore. And with the next update bringing proper co-op, I could see myself doubling the hours spent.

Onwards to Repentance!


This game is a ton of fun and I really want to get back to it one day.

Tried to get this kind of game a chance. Sadly it seems these types are ones I can't enjoy long term. They get too frustrating and repetitive.

Lots of fun, always a great game to come back to and play a few times.
