I’ve only now just been introduced to this game by my nephew, so I’m late to the party. At first glance, it’s a simple Roguelike game, but upon playing it, it’s revealed to be something much more special!

Edmund McMillen has created both a beautiful world to play in and a morbid circus to navigate through. Every time I play a session, it’s always different. The power ups insure that you always have fun. The Christian inspiration for many of the details was pretty cool and for such a simple game to grasp, it’s really complex in its own way.

I’ll be playing this, I think, for years.
