    Rebirth is an incredible experience that can't be missed. Descend into the basement, lock the trapdoor behind you, and don't look back.

    While Binding of Isaac is a good contender for the Indie Game of 2014 title, it surely is the best roguelike game of our generation. Edmund McMillen unravels and dedicates his creative genius in bringing a remake of a game full of meaningful additions and improvements on gameplay. BoIR provides a golden standard on how games should be remade and/or improved. Whether you are a gamer who seeks small half-an-hour shots of gaming or a crazed achievement completionist, you'll have a hell of time (and it will be a lot) playing Rebirth. Get it now.

    The time I’ve spent with Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has been non-stop fun and surprises, with just a tad too much frustration when I lose a rare item.

    Crazier, funnier and bigger. Rebirth is a proper rebuilt of one of the most brilliant games we've enjoyed lately. There are a handful of new features and probably even more content than we could've asked for, even though die-hard fans might consider rebuying a game that's very much the same, but widely expanded.

    The Binding of Isaac is the reference for the rogue-like genre - even if you already know the "old" Isaac inside out.

    The excellent rogue-like horror came back to life with a new engine and lots of changes. Thanks to that, the game is a little more accessible, but still you will not get anything for free. Gameplay is great, Isaac’s torture still hurts and a joy of any tiny success will please you greatly. The Binding of Isaac is recommended by eight out of ten child psychiatrists.

    It introduces a lot of new content but other than that is worth than the original game in almost every aspect. [01/2015, p.73]

At the beginning you struggle to get to the 1st boss, then to beat him, etc. and after dozens of hours its just bread and butter to you. 10/10… Expand

I was a fan of wrath of the lamb, but this game just takes that and absolutely perfects upon it.

    Everything about this game is amazing. The soundtrack is incredible, the artwork music and gameplay are oozing with originality (something that the gaming industry lacks these days).

    My only qualm is that you can't get more than 2 rows of hearts anymore, I guess that is a balance decision but personally one I don't feel was necessary. Other than that, every single change makes perfect sense though.

    There is so much content that I don't think there is a single game in the history of gaming that can possibly top this in terms of the price you pay for the game compared to how much replay value you can get.

    And would you believe that there are no microtransactions in this day an age!? Woah, what a concept!

    This game rules, plain and simple, I generally hate most games these days but this one shines forth strongly amidst a sea of mediocre games that came out in the last few years as a truly bright spot and incredibly well done game.    … Expand

    It has a terrifying story and at the same time very good and intriguing. The way the story mix religious aspects like the Seven Deadly Sins, Devils, and Angels are phenomenal.

    The soundtrack is also excellent.

    The gameplay is the best part, each new item you get can change completely the gameplay, so every single match on this game feels different. It is insane how you can play this game for months and never get tired of it.    … Expand
