While historic and essential to the canon of the rise of indie games, Isaac's story leaves a lot to be desired in 2022. Many games tell a story opposing religion in a more nuanced, creative way, and just as many other titles handle the "Nintendo hard" playstyles of early modern indie games in a more fun, natural way. While the rogue-lite gameplay can be enjoyable, and the NES Zelda inspiration can be cute, ultimately the gross-out humor and so-so story failed to hold me.
