The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

Very cool game
very hard
a lot of stuff you can do
i would recommend you go at your pace
and if you want more binding of isaac
BUY THE DLC!!!
hell GET ALL OF IT
ITS SO PEAK!

Jacob and Esau make me want to kill myself.

As soon as I finally unlocked them and tried them for the first time, this game transformed from a game I loved, a game I enjoyed — even when it was difficult, even when it was frustrating — to game that I profoundly, sincerely resent myself for having purchased. I want to fucking die every time I even consider coming back to this game. I want to fucking kill myself.

There are so many other, great games that are always consistently enjoyable — even when they are difficult, even when they are frustrating — that I can no longer in good conscience recommend this one.

This game is the leading cause to several low marks on important assignments, kinda kickass if you ask me

Thank you Edmund McMillen for blessing me with this absolute gem of a game
Actual peak gaming
Everything about this game is good - especially the DLCs and the modding aspect
If I listed everything I like I'd be here all day
It's just so good, play it if you can spare some change (the game is way better with all of the DLCs so you may need to save up a little bit but worth every penny)
Can't wait for Mewgenics :D

The best game ive ever played
The amount of variety, the skill the LUCK, the story the DRAMA. Its perfection

Прикольно, за 9 часов первой игры научился различать хороших персонажей от Калловых, но калл не простой а золотой (ещë радужный есть)

Over 1k hours on pc and about 200hrs on my switch great go to game for random fun and always different never have the same run twice great time killer

hell nahh bought afterbirth and afterbirth+ the game did not work 21 bucks down the drain horrable and really underbaked game i would not buy it if i could refund the base game i would

PSA: This game is unfair and will make you question why you spent hours on a single run just to die to spikes and get nothing for it. (Skill issue tbf.)

Played it when it was a Flash game, 100%'d it on Switch, now back at it on Steam.

10/10. This game sucks. I love it.

Man I´m not this type of player... like, I normally don´t like gore-y things, or this type of aesthetics. I´m not a cozy player either, I´m more fantasy/sci-fi/slice of life kinda thing, I like horror games and such but... this actually borders in a type of dmency I normally don´t seek out willingly. HOWEVER, the game is SOO GOOD, it was purchased by a friend of mine and left it there, one day I decided to play it and it´s frickingly addictive and the genral innuendos or the straight out told things left me in awe. I deffinetely recommend this game if you like rougue type games, it´s a bit more random than others and playing at this point the number of items are overwhelming, but with a good guide you´ll get the hang of it pretty fast.

I have no idea what is going on in this game it might look disgusting but it is so fun with hundred of hours worth of content

This is the only game I own that consistently undoes progress or just deletes my save files.

Amazing Game, Recommended if you want bullet hell , luck based , grinder game

makes me feel like im back in Newgrounds when the site was still alive and popular. a beautifully shitty game, its great. go play it.

So this Game Was Perfect. But for some reason the devs thought it would be silly funny to start nerfing items.
The best part of the game is getting lucky and having fun breaks and fun broken synergies which were rare. But when they did happen it was a dopamine dump. And with the most recent update they just nerfed a bunch of shit

its a good game but it might be a little boring at the begging for some people trust the stranger (me) its worth it and its better than overwatch since its getting updated everynow and then if you have question i might be a bit of help :p

It's really fun, maybe even *too* fun. I'm afraid I'll end up putting 500 hours into this game..

Isaac is toooooooooo strong,so they have to weaken the items in each update to make sure your bad experience.
It is unbelievable that a single-player game can constantly undermine the gaming experience of players. (In fact, there is an online mode now, but too many bugs, lag and error crashes make me think that online cannot be regarded as a complete mode)
It must be that the sales of the anniversary celebration event some time ago were so high that the development team now wants most people to get refunds.

I been playing this game recently and for being new to the rougelike and indie game and controller supported game, i REALLY recommend this game for beginner, its a beginer friendly game in my opinion and is easy to learn.
+ with the new updates that allow coop for 2-4 players, it is really great to play with friends and family, you can also play online with random stranger and a fun way to begin the journey for more rougelike like tboi (The binding of Isaac).
SO my personal humble opinion i recommend this game especially if youre new to this type of game. Have fun and enjoy.

I got 1001% and I don't even like this game.
I'm glad I never bought Repentance because that would be another 300 hours of my life vaporized; and the sickening part is that I would be happy about it.

Amazing game, your ass will burn right after you die in a mom boss room when you had a hard run :)

This was my first steam purchase over 10 years ago and I still play this game to this day. It is one of the best rogue-lites ever developed and made even better by the constant support from the dev team. My heart still races when I encounter some of the final bosses as they've done a great job with balancing the game over the years. 11/10. Get rid of spiked chests tho.

Amazing game can be frustrating with so much luck involved and if you just have bad luck as a person but its so rewarding when you do have a great run and unlock that next section

@NotAlbino you little maggot, you made me buy this game with your gamebreaking rigs. It's f**king unfair-hard game, i will become back my money, i hope you will in your next time a dog (with dementia) on the chocolate farm you maggot

The binding of isaac is one of those games that I had known about for ages. By the time I picked it up, I knew what to expect. Except it turned out I didn't. At first everything felt just like any other roguelite, a pool of items, some special things nice, but nothing new.

Then devil/angel deals started appearing.

then i thought i beat the game.

Then i found out i was only 1/_0 done with the game.

Then i found out that not only where there post mother bosses, but there where a__n_t_ _nd___s

Then i found out that...... i could go on like this for a long time, because i found out enough for the game to last me almost 200 hours. Thats without going for extra achievements (albeit i still went for challenges).

Thats while using the wiki to plan routes and strategies.

And even after all that, I still managed to get blown away when because after 180 hours, d___p___ made the game feel completely different.

+Isaac is a cheap game for what your getting, even at 60$ its really cheap. This thing is MASSIVE.

+Isaac has an incredible story

+many items completely change the game, and there are limitless combinations to use.

+the art is really neat, i love the pixel art, and some of the bosses just blew my mind away, again you can get to late game, and you will be absolutely shocked by what awaits you if you get the full version.

-my only issue was how confusing it was to do the story, without the wiki I wouldve gotten lost really fast.

In general I recommend isaac, there is no reason to avoid getting this game. All around its a stunning piece of work, and deserves massive praise.

Is this the most entertaining game, I have played? No. It is not. But it is certainly entertaining. And most important is that a "run" only takes so much time. There's natural checkpoints to get back to life. And the game will have evolved next time, because of the vast amount of unlocks, which keeps the game from getting boring.
5/7 would recommend.

This is the best game I've ever played, saying that while writing a negative review is ironic I know however there is a problem that just happened to me halfway through my save file. I'm not sure what I did but I must have closed out of the game improperly recently and now all of my steam achievements have vanished. I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to change this other than redoing them on another file but if someone could help me I'd gladly change my negative review.

Ended up buying this game for myself after buying the first Binding of Issac and Rebirth for my partner as these were some of his favorite games. He ended up getting me interested in these games as well and I bought this one and all dlc so I could play online and its honestly been fun with repentance plus! Would recommend for just base game alone as you can do local multiplayer and have fun that way (though it is different without dlc), but dlc is constantly being fixed and updated along with repentance plus. Nothing is ever really the same between runs and as you play more, you get more characters you can unlock to change up the gameplay that much more and even cool challenges you can try by yourself or with friends. Be warned there's still issues with lag on online lobbies with repentance plus, but it is constantly getting better in my experiences so far.

This game consumed my life. I was married once, she took the kids. Don't play this game unless you too desire to cut off your ties to civilized life. I miss my wife. The kids only liked Fortnite, and her new boyfriend won't let me use their Playstation to play Fifa.

While this game is fun, its just not AS fun as many of the other games in its genre. The animations and everything about the game are just fine! fun to look at even. There were however some mechanics to the game that I just didn't enjoy. The turds were too tough. The 'upgrades' were not very substantial sometimes. And acquiring a build was entirely left to RNG. I 'beat the game' after a matter of 3 hours but that was only because I got a couple of ridiculously strong upgrades that just happened to synergize. The lack of a choice make the only way to play just blasting through as fast as you can to acquire some kind of wild build that actually works and dying about 50 times before each good run. Again, a decent entry into the genre and fun artwork but I prefer a game that has more strategy and choice involved in my runs. I'm sad to give it a 6/10.

isaac has been a part of me for every chapter of my life. i always come back to it or more precisely, it always comes back to me. at my lowest and at my highest, isaac has been the backbone of my being. im afraid without it, i wouldnt have been able to type this right now. really thankful for edmund and the team for bringing us this gem of a game. isaac has been the perfect stand in for me, as of typing this right now im in the rebirth journey of my life. and hopefully just like isaac, i can find peace with myself and have the strength to shape my story just like in repentance.

10/10
Would get just Rebirth then get DLC's when you like it and REP+ is free and does QoL changes and Co-op

Bro this is the best game if you have a toaster PC, nah but for real they don't actually make games like this anymore like what the hell, it's so simple let so addicting this game has been around for years and to this day it still gets supported that's insane nowadays games are one hit wonders they come out, shine for a year and just die off completely, similar to today's music, i highly recommend this game to anyone that wants to feel the 2000s style again, this game is a pure example of not judging a book by it's cover, don't get fooled by the graphics, yes it looks dated but who the heck cares the graphics don't make the game it's the mechanics of the game the pure skeleton that makes the game, love it.

Game good
insane replay value and just one of my personal favorite games since i first found it when afterbirth + came out

I died from the last boss attack and kill him 1 sec before that, game choose to fuck me and dont count this and this is not first time, this game can f**k you like no other games 10/10

The Binding of Isaac is a really deep game when it comes to item synergies and what feels like millions of possible builds. Each item you pick up has the potential to change the way you play, like one might replace your regular tears with lazers or one makes you throw up big green explosive bombs, that do very high damage, but can also damage you, giving you a high risk, high reward play style. With around 700 different types of items to pick up and use, it offers a lot of variety to play with.

And the game offers many different types of characters to play as, all with a unique and distinct play styles. One might be all about getting hit on purpose to build up damage for the remaining floor you are in while one is the complete opposite, and only gives you one hit before you go down, with the upside of flight and tears that can travel through rocks and obstacles, as well as an unique dice item, giving you a potential re roll of the item you might not wanna take, with the downside of it sometimes deleting the item. Its like gambling in a way, you will do that a lot in the game. Take risks that pay off, but also might backfire on you

What i also like is the way achivements are tied to actual useful things. Each achivement you gain actually unlocks something new for you to find, like a new character, new floors, new paths to take and most importantly, new item unlocks. The achivement system is a good way to keep track off, what you might need to unlock next.

The one small negative i have to give is the game its the type of game you need a friend or a youtube guide to understand what to even do to unlock certain bosses or items. Its very cryptic and confusing if you dont understand it, but once you know, its easy to hop into the game and plan ahead where you want to go in your run, which boss you are working towards and so on.

Overall a highly recommended game, if you still are unsure if you like it, buy the regular game game Rebirth without the dlc, try it out and if you like it, buy all the dlc. (small warning, you might have problems with converting the save from the rebirth to newest repentance + DLC, so if you want to avoid it, you could also just buy everything all at once. Its worth it and you get 200+ hours out of it)

Tons of content. Addicting gameplay loop. Lots of moddability.

You run around as a naked midget spitting at people. You eventually meet a chick but she's trying to stomp you down because she hates people under 170cm, but she violently screams and hides away if you pretend to be a Jehovah's witness.
Despite having "binding" in game's title, there is no shibari set in the entire dungeon.
Also I wasn't able to find a garbage plant because there is no bovine transformation, either. I think Steven lied to me…

This is one piece of trash. You should play it.

Best traumatic childhood simulator!

This game has a really unique artstyle and has tons of content through the dlcs. Every Run is different and Binding of Isaac never fails to suprise and challenge me. In addition to that you can really see the developers have put their heart in this game and created a really fun game.
With Friends this game is even more enjoyable.

All in all do yourself a favor and go beat Mommy!

10/10

tons of replay value and each run is around 30-40 minutes so its a pretty fire way to pass the time when you're busy but got a little time to burn 9/10

This is great game, it really is. Unfortunately Tyrone,the executive producer, supports A.I and while he isn't the creator, I hope that post he made will get him fired.

And send us Dead God badge for compensation pretty please.

It took me FOREVER to defeat mom but the game mixed up every round. Sometimes you got trash but sometimes you got the perfect setup. This game does take time and skill but in the long run this game is a 10/10 no question. ;)

Quality game. High level of difficulty, but you get better as you play so just gotta stick with it for a bit

"Dead, rotting child in a chest dreaming about a horrid basement" simulator. Got to love creativity of games and the absurd amount of content this game has about a dying child :3

Highly recommend if you love roguelikes with a lot of replayability and synergies, because ohh boy... this game is probably the best when it comes to stuff like that. It's hard to top it.

usually when i play this its with a gun to my head because i dont know anyone who isn't diagnosed with at least one mental illness who plays this but overall its a very wholesome game for the entire family about issac's mom just not quite understanding him and going on a lovely adventure together and learning the true meaning of family after they find issacs long lost twin. too much poop though

To say The Binding of Isaac hasn't been a big part of my life would be an enormous understatement.

At the time of writing this I have achieved Dead God with 970 hours on steam and I promised myself that I would write a review of how impactful it was to me. No matter how unorganized it may be. I found out about Isaac from two Youtubers. Northenlion and Bisnap. I watched Northenlion for Super Meat Boy and Bisnap for Spelunkey. None of their playlist compared to the number of episodes they made for the Original Binding of Isaac. I was HOOKED. The game's art style was infections that a young me would draw the characters on sticky notes to make them stand up, I didn't stop there In 6-8th grade I'd draw them next to the notes I'd write for Social Studies, Science, and Language Arts. I bought Rebirth according to steam on:Jan 31, 2015 and also bought Isaac on the PS-Vita, My Phone,and Nintendo Switch. I played the HECK outta rebirth it is a major upgrade from flash. I'd download mods so I could reskin them beacuse I had no idea how to extract the sprites from the game nor did I know that was even a thing at the time. I only had ms paint so when I did reskin them they would always have a white background which lead me down to finding paint-dot-net a program that I still use to this very day! Anyway I think that's all I wanted to say about Isaac that I can think about on the top of my head. Lastly I'd like to thank Edmund and his team over at Nicalis! Thanks for reading my messy ""review"" of The Binding of Isaac.

Beware : this game is a legal drug !!! you can easily become an addict, so play with care

The game story/lore is really dark btw but that's peak
