    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]

    I had never played the original Binding of Isaac before but had always heard great things about it. When I saw this pop up on Steam I decidedI had never played the original Binding of Isaac before but had always heard great things about it. When I saw this pop up on Steam I decided to give it shot, and I'm glad I did. I love rouge-lite games (FTL and Rogue Legacy come to mind) and this is right up there with the best I've ever played. It's difficult but rewards patience and is never too hard. The humor in this game is a little dark but cracks me up non-the-less. And ****, it's just flat out addictive. When I first started playing I didn't know what to expect, and wasn't blown away by anything it had to offer right off the bat. I can't explain it though, I couldn't stop playing. It felt kind of like Civ (Just...one...more...run...) and I couldn't put it down without at least improving a little on my previous run. Even has local co-op and I've been playing with my girlfriend who loves it too, even if she is bad for my longevity. Great game, tons of fun, and it's never the same thing twice. Would recommend to anyone who likes rouge-lite games, or any game you wanna pick up and play in short sessions. Full Review »

    They've added so much things I can't even count them all. I've gotten 6 hours into the game and I'm still finding new powerups, enemies,They've added so much things I can't even count them all. I've gotten 6 hours into the game and I'm still finding new powerups, enemies, trinkets, items, and bosses. They've kept what I loved about the original, which is nice. Full Review »
