The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

This is one of my favorite games as every run is different.
There are so many items and synergys for the items.

Definitivamente um dos melhores jogos roguelike de todos. O jogo casa perfeitamente com a brincadeira e a religião, tendo personagens como Azazel, judas, Lazarus e outros de referência religiosa.
Isac é um ótimo jogo, mas realmente acho que se você quer ter A MELHOR experiência com ele, compre junto das dlcs.

this game is a great introduction to dungeon crawling games, although there is 3 DLC's with the game it's not forced to play the game, the DLC's just add's even more content to its already massive content pool like new items, new bosses, new endings and lets you download mods EXC. i haven't even finished the game and i'm only about 35% done might even be less that's how much there is to do i can not but recommend this game worth every penny

From the humble beginnings of a flash game to mass popularity.

Amazingly well thought out game with very passionate devs. Lots of items and synergies to explore and endless amount of runs to have fun with. The progression is nice with a good amount of difficulty, along with being a great time killer.

Definitely one of my highest rated games I've played, anyone who loves indie games and rouge-likes should give this a try. you won't be disappointed.

probably my number 1 favorite in the roguelike genre. there's so many synergies and paths you can take when you put enough time into unlocking them. and the themes of the levels and enemies are super cool too. so i enjoy playing this game on PC and my nintendo switch when i leave to go somewhere.

its a good game, ive played it to the womb on my xbox but on pc it was HELL even trying to get it open on here, i tried 3 diffrent times to get it open and they all didnt work untill the 3rd time which was DISABLING THE FREE DLC THAT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW I HAD BECAUSE THAT FREE DLC COULDN'T RUN BECAUSE IT NEED YOU TO BUY 30+ DOLLARS OF OTHER DLC FOR IT TO WORK!! so i essentially had a broken game that didnt work because of a stupid dlc....i know its not the devs fault but dude- how was i supposed to know that it automatically added a free dlc i didnt know of on here that breaks the game? good game, just steam fucking sucks times mates.

The King of Roguelikes. So many unlocks and secrets to discover, even after 400 hours. Progression feels great, and you naturally improve so much that you hardly notice the game's difficulty increasing as you get better. Great developer and community support, I don't know that this game will ever lose relevance.

Having seen how many hours some others have put in, I realise I have only reached the tip of the iceberg for this game. However, I did manage to finish it a few times and it really felt like I never saw the same item twice. Rebirth is the pinnacle of the Isaac games, where you can easily get lost in the addictive life-death cycle. If you enjoy roguelikes and haven't played this, what are you doing?!?!

Top notch. Fun game that doesn't treat you like a moron or feels the need to spoon-feed you the story.

One of the best indie games and a cornerstore of roguelikes, what more needs to be said?
This game got a grip over me ever since I was in high school and never truly let go, it has been in development for over 10 years and it shows with the insane amount of variety and content.

If you want to play Isaac for the first time I definitely recommend buying every DLC for the best experience!

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ is the ultimate roguelike experience. With endless replayability, insane synergies, and challenging yet rewarding gameplay, it perfects everything that made the original great. The new content adds fresh mechanics, bosses, and items that keep every run exciting. If you love roguelikes, this is a must-have. 11/10

This game is the peak definition of being brutal, difficult, and an absolute RNG-fest, but at the same time being incredibly fair.

Most of the time, you won't feel "cheated" by losing runs, as the game is naturally difficult to begin with, but unlike most other difficult games, it's actually a fair difficulty, as you can grow more powerful to match the game's difficulty 1-for-1.

I don't really like rouge-likes too much, but TBoI is a HARD exception to that rule. It's balanced, it's fair, and it's not utter BS.

Highly, highly recommended, without a shadow of a doubt.

So this game is my favorite game ever. I don't even know where to start, with the endless amount of replay-ability, and the synergies that have been fleshed out throughout development. I would buy all of the expansions with it, but if you're worried, you could buy just Rebirth first and realize how addicting it fundamentally is. I've sunk plenty of time in it on steam with tons more on playstation. But yeah, best game ever 10/10. (download external items description)

great addictive and fun gameplay and i could play for hours without getting bored, it tells you basically nothing other than how to move and attack which makes the game feel so fresh and makes me feel like a genius when i unlock something new or start to understand how a section of the game works.

"Isaac is the best roguelike I have ever played. It has a lot of synergies and an incredible level of complexity you could never imagine.
10/10 ❤️

I love Isaac more than my own children, even if mine don’t cry as much when I put them in the chest without food for a decade. Nice."

There's not enough words in the English language to convey just how good, how ADDICTING, this game is. I got it November 2024, as online came out, to play it with a friend. His pc died so I ended up playing it on my own. It is now March 2025 and I have gotten every single achievement in the game.

I PUT ALMOST 600 HOURS IN 4 GODDAMN MONTHS. And it's not stopping. I AM getting Dead God on all three save files.

If you like roguelikes, please get this game. You can even mod it and it won't disable the progress at all (If you beat the game once without mods first)

You WILL get frustrated at getting the worst items ever conceived. But you will also feel joy at seeing how you melt the boss when you DO get that one god run.

If you've got the time to sink into this game, give it a try. It's worth it.

Its a Classic all the way, solely depends on its great gameplay and endless features to give you the best time possible!!! A game that has chosen the correct path and hold its own in the charts against the big titles who rely on skins and passes and advert and so on to keep gamers!

I bought this game like 13 days ago and i think im addicted. I literally cant stop playing, so i recommend you should also buy this game if you dont want to touch grass anymore

Not much else to say about this game that hasn't been said before. A true cornerstone of the roguelike genre. Near flawless DLC expansions (Afterbirth+ being the sole exception, but is required to get to the cream of the crop, Repentance) which will greatly enhance your experience whilst playing.

Gameplay/Progression: 10/10

Difficult, but not impossible, with an insanely high skill-ceiling. All inputs being restricted to one of four cardinal directions leads to both simplistic gameplay and a huge amount of tech to learn (huge bonus if you don't have a decent mouse or are on a laptop). Casual players have more than enough of a challenge presented to them, but true die-hards will enjoy the fact that the game doesn't necessarily get "easier" the more you play it. Instead, the game's progression (and everyone's obsession with getting all 600+ achievements) forces you to adapt and consistently raises the bar of difficulty in an intriguing way each time you get comfortable (we don't talk about Ultra Hard). Wildly entertaining/interesting items and synergies lead to near endless experimentation and variety present in each run. Some items reference other media, some foreshadow the plot, and some are just plain creative. Characters can be either slight variations of the default or change the gameplay entirely, making the thought of the game ever getting "stale" seem impossible. Multiple difficulties and rugpulls lead to false senses of confidence; just when you think you can't get any better at the game, it introduces a new element or challenge to sit you right back down. Dangerously addictive and rewarding to progress/improve, even after hundreds or thousands of hours. Virtually bug-free, so there are very few "unjustified" deaths (a.k.a. skill-issue).

Visuals: 10/10

Sublime, basically perfect for a game in this genre. Models for characters, enemies, items, and environments are beautifully tied into the plot and hauntingly dark when needed. The artwork does an amazing job at appearing innocent upon first glance, but contains ludicrously intricate detail to remind the player of the dark themes present.

Plot: 11/10

If you have quite literally any interest in or prior knowledge of biblical/religious themes, this game will absolutely blow your top off. Even if you don't, the meta-commentary is enough to carry the game on its shoulders. Without spoiling anything, it is clear that the creator (who has stated that the game is partially based on his childhood) has a deep, deep understanding of religious themes, references, and stories and uses his knowledge in a mind blowing fashion. If you have experienced any of the games core themes whilst you yourself were a child, the story will pull on your heartstrings ceaselessly.

Soundtrack/Sound Design: 10/10

Mesmerizing. Not much to say besides it is very dynamic and reflective of what you are doing in the game. Builds tension when it has to, matches each environment perfectly.

Final Thoughts

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a nearly flawless game. Barring a few questionable decisions by the creator (again, Ultra Hard), there is almost nothing negative to say about the game aside from the annoyance of needing to purchase a "mid" DLC (Afterbirth+) to play what is essentially "The Binding of Isaac 2" (but everyone and their mother has wrote home about this). So many elements come together to create a game that is mind-numbingly addictive, rewarding, and alluring--Just don't forget to check on your loved ones when you've been playing for 12 hours straight.

[10/10]

PLS FIX DESYNC PROBLEM Big turn of rn for the game PLS, I love the game but I want to be able to play with my friends without having to desync every 2 runs and specially if it happens on Mom's foot Floor with broken items :/

It's my comfort game. I play it whenever I want to relax as its pretty much the same with a few different variations due to the nature of the game. I recommend it if you need patterns in your life as it helps me cop with that.

played for more than 800+ hours and still not half way done with the game. very good game 10/10

The Binding of Isaac is the holy grail of Roguelike games. This game essentially revolutionised the genre's placement in the modern gaming sphere and has held its place there for over a decade while getting large content releases that pad out the game even more.

It has a gameplay style similar to old Legend of Zelda overworlds. You walk around a top-down procedurally generated dungeon and collect money, items and trinkets to defeat the boss and continue exploring. The gameplay loop is based around replaying again and again. There is progression through the unlocking of new items, characters and other in-game content.

Ultimately, I think it's best to catagorize this as "action solitaire" in the sense of how you just walk again and again into different organizations of the same thing. Will probably still turn this on for a game or two for the next few decades.

I really like this game solo, but extremely disappointed that the multiplayer version does not work ever for my friends and I. We have tried so many troubleshooting issues and nothing seems to fix it. Will gladly recommend once the multiplayer is properly fixed and playable for all.

really fun and interesting but i feel so bad for Isaac :(

This game is endlessly replayable. The variety of synergies with hundreds of items makes it so every single playthrough is unique, not to mention the rest of the randomized game. One of the pioneers of the roguelike and one of the best to do it

after playing flash isaac for years I stepped up and tried this bad boy and its amazing I love both so much

Upon purchase you get like hundreds of possibilities and after you unlock some items they become thousands. If you buy the DLCs you basically get endless possibilities.

I mean its pretty good, not that good graphics, but thats to be expected and the trailer on the front steam page is a little missleading with the graphics but i think the gameplay makes up for it so i would recomend it if you dont really care for the graphics or have a bad computer.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth – 10/10

Introduction

"The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth" is a game that combines everything great about classic roguelikes while bringing something fresh and deep to the table. It’s one of those titles that draws you in for long hours, offering an immense variety and exceptional playability.

Visuals

The first thing that stands out is the dark yet hypnotic visual style. The pixel art is simple but perfectly matches the game’s atmosphere. Each level is packed with details that can evoke both fascination and unease. As time progresses, the visuals become more surreal, making the journey through this nightmare world even more intense.

Gameplay

The gameplay in "Rebirth" is a rollercoaster ride. The game offers an endless combination of procedurally generated levels, enemies, items, and challenges, making each experience unique. You play as Isaac, a boy who must navigate through the hell of his own mind, battling demons from his past and facing monsters in various dungeons. Every run feels like a journey through the unknown, full of surprises and emotions. If you’ve played classic roguelikes before, this game feels like home – no two runs are the same.

Items and Progression

A fascinating aspect is the item system, where you can find different items during your run. Each item changes the way you play – some surprise you, some make the game easier, but others can lead to unexpected difficulties. This variety allows for many different combinations, making each playthrough feel new and fresh. It’s the magic of randomness, which never gets boring.

Difficulty and Challenge

An essential part of the game is its difficulty. "Rebirth" can be brutal, but it’s this high level of challenge that keeps players coming back. It’s a title for those who aren’t afraid of failure and who have the motivation to try again, improving their skills with each attempt. Successes are incredibly satisfying, and failures teach you, shaping your approach for the next round.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack is another highlight. It fits perfectly with the dark atmosphere of the game, building tension without overwhelming the player. The music sets the tone for intense gameplay, making every encounter feel more immersive and exciting.

Conclusion

In conclusion, "The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth" is a game that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. With tons of secrets, challenges, and surprises, it’s one of the best roguelikes out there. Tough, rewarding, and offering endless hours of gameplay. 10/10.

Full of bloat and feels more like a chore since ab+ and the balancing in repentance didnt feel like it helped at all and the ending floors are still uninspired and reused content.

this game is great played ones and now im hooked i cant stop after i unlocked T isaac so ya play the game

Honestly, it's hard to truly recommend this game. But I do so anyways, because that's what it deserves.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is incredible, and while I would say it got even better with every DLC, I unfortunately cannot say that is the case. Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ are kind of... mediocre, to say the least...

But Repentance? The game becomes one of the best games in the roguelike dungeon crawler genre I've ever seen. Incredible room, enemy, and item variety, plenty of unlockable content and an incentive to use every character, and the best part of every version, no matter the dlc, is the possible item combinations you can find and (commonly) win with.

I start negative because of the fact that the $20 base game and the $60 dollar full DLC experience are vastly different when compared to each other, but if you do buy everything up to Repentance, it is SO WORTH the money.

This game literally saves me from boredom. I never in my life was so much into the game but it changed with Isaac. Not too easy, not too hard, and doing unlocks is so much fun. I have played this game for almost 500 hours, and I have unlocked only half of the unlocks!!! Wish me luck, lmao. I will never be grateful enough for this game. Thank you, Edmund!

perfect if you want a game that really gets harder the more hours you dump into it
you can either disable the dlc and take the cowards way or have everything enabled at once and suffer like a gamer
10/10

My opinion of this game gets better the more I play it. It's pointless fun, that subtly turns into a story. The controls are awful, until you get used to them and they start feeling really good.

What hasn't changed is that the game is stable, plays well without stuttering or lags.

I've also loved the art style from the first time I saw it. Sometimes it gets really cluttered, but that's more of a gameplay issue than an art style issue.

really good and fun game to play and get addicted too, spent 473 hours to get my first dead god!!!

Pretty deep story and its easy to start when waiting to do other things, i love wasting my free time on it.

this game is a void that ive been sucked into. there is no escape.
im so tired of getting shit stomped by moms fat lil legs.
how have i not completed this game with 1000 hours
let me out



buy it tho. my go to "sit back with a controller and cry" game

most replayable and fun game i have played in a while 10/10.

good :D

(my favorite game, played it for 5-6 years at this point on different devices or accounts)

the best roguelike I've played there's even Poop physics! and alot of content, alot alot of content, almost like to much content. but if you like roguelikes get it

A rage inducing game where you can't help but constantly come back & continue. A bullet hell, synergy fueled game. Feel powerful as you kill God.

good
great
awesome
unlimited
also
its good

dis game hard, and i aint even see most of it for my own yet, 117 acheivements, out of 600, cool game, not beginner friendly tho, just keep that in mind

Good game to play while watching random movies and shit, and yes buy the dlc and then some workshop mods after that

Isaac follows the story of little naked boy who sprouts wings and release EMP blast to obliterate his enemies. Who are his enemies you ask? Simple, disfigured people trapped in caverns and depths. ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WITH MICROCEPHALY!!! I swear the last "person" I met with such a "disorder" was a lizard man who plotted to harvest my body for extreme experiments. TL;DR had to do with a lot of sponges, and let's just say... My bunghole..... anyways pretty goo d game all around :))! 34281 apples/21038 apples! anyways gotta finish this review, or my brother will whip and flay me with the extension cord. Bye.

Type of game that pisses you off and hate it but you have 2 3 weeks period of nonstop addiction to play it then you stop and repeat. Perfect for wasting time and grinding. I love it

The Binding of Isaac remains my favourite Roguelike of all time. I have never purchased a game more times than I have the Binding of Isaac and its many incarnations. I played it when it was just a flash demo on Newgrounds. I bought the original on PC and upgraded to wrath of the lamb. I bought rebirth on Playstation, PS VIta, PC and Switch and every subsequent dlc as they've come out. This game has blossomed into an absolute MOUNTAIN of content. It's simple top down classic zelda inspired dungeon format and easy to pick up twin stick combat are still engaging to me after over 1000 hours across all platforms. I do worry that for a brand new player the game may get a little too difficult a little too quickly if they own everything. An in game item catalogue to view would be the ultimate quality of life improvement for new players. Not everyone has the time or dedication to memorise the effects of hundreds of items. The aesthetic may not be for everyone but the game itself and its endless replayability is something I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves video games.

Incredibly replayable, fun but challenging depending on player choices but also game RNG, highly recommend
