The original Binding Of Isaac is still pretty good, especially considering it was one of the first of its respective genre!
This is actually my first time playing the flash Isaac, though I have played Rebirth (which is obv better lmao) and one thing I have to say is that I do NOT remember Rebirth being this hard. Even when I get a great set-up, I end up dying really quickly in the later levels. The game just doesn't feel all that fair, but if i'm being honest, most rogue-likes aren't fair.
One thing I do prefer over Rebirth is the art style. I love the SMB esque style, but sadly, the remake decided to go the pixel-art approach. It still looks excellent, but fucking hell man pixel-art in indie games is so overused. It makes it much less distinct, but maybe that's a hot-take idk
If you have £4, I would recommend giving this a try, even if you have Rebirth or Repentance or whatever. Just don't expect to beat it without hours of practice and luck.

@RedBackLoggd yeah mate, poop is literally everywhere. most bosses literally shit themselves about 10 times a battle, and don't get me started on some of the item names. Still, don't let that discourage you from giving this game a try, there really aren't many games like it.
LOL, makes Conker's Bad Fur Day seem tame by comparison.
Happy you enjoyed it and that it made success as an indie game, but unfortunately I think I'll give it a pass.

@RedBackLoggd Conker's does have the sex scene between the bee and the flower though lmao.
Anyway, that's your choice man. I do hope you come around and try it one day

Well, IMO, we should move society to a point where sex humor is on a more acceptable tier than overabundance of toilet humor.
Yeah, we'll see. Good review like usual.
