    The father of all that is roguelike.

    You can say about this game what you want.

    The sheer amount of items, synergies and things to discover make this one of the best roguelike games of all time.

    The game does have its problems, such as item bloat and whatnot, but if you do enjoy roguelikes in any way, this is a must-have

    Great game, great rogue-lite game, and very addicting. Gameplay pretty good, very few to no bugs, and dlcs are great adding more of everything, and with mods it gets even better.

    This game is simply incredible and you should try it. I hate the theme and art design but I cant stop playing.

    Лучший рогалик с контентом на 700 часов.
    Тут можно придраться лишь к одному - музыка во флеш версии была лучше, но это субъективщина.

    The only thing that disappoints me is the soundtrack. Danny B and mudeth are too good. But other than that, I say it's a very good rogue-like game. With Repentance which adds some Antibirth (one of the best non-official contents) stuff, it's just getting better and better.

    Still I want the Eternal Mode from original game.

    Великолепнейший рогалик. Король рогаликов. Самое большое разнообразие. Обожаю Айзека, но с каждой итерацией он становился менее... выверенным, что ли. Rebirth — это предел мечтаний, Afterbirth добавил Hush, Afterbirth+... добавил множество бесполезных предметов, а вот Repentance чувствуется совсем не как Айзек. Может быть я выгорел, но мое мнение таково.Великолепнейший рогалик. Король рогаликов. Самое большое разнообразие. Обожаю Айзека, но с каждой итерацией он становился менее... выверенным, что ли.

    The infinite game that will drain your life from all your time in the epic quest to gain all the check marks for your characters, this game is often associated with poop but it's not a negative trust me, you will swim in poop, and you'll enjoy it.

    Definitely the go-to Roguelike for people trying to get into them, teaches players the fundamentals of a Roguelike as a whole. Amazing.

    Essential roguelike game, would rate it a 10 if only the latest dlc didnt mess up the balance a little to much for my own liking

    Immersive game indeed, and one of the few good flash games for PC (if you can call it that). It improved from the last game, and the story was definitely well-executed. Only downside? The surprising difficulty.

    Great game, tons of replayability. Played with a controller.
    What it does it does great,, mechanics are simple but really smooth, loads of items to make it unpredictable and not get the same playtrough once.

    Seems to start off easier than the first game, but does eventually get back to its roots. Better graphics, new music (though I think an option for the originals would be nice), and a ton of content. Great game.

    Considering the step "down" from graphics and music (depending on opinion) it really could have turned out worse. Though it relies heavily on whether the game wants you to get good items or not, there is still a large amount of strategy and new content. If you don't like the music, there's a mod on Reddit to change it to the original.

    The graphics could be better, especially on high-resolution screens, and co-op is really limited in PC version. But those are the only two drawbacks.

    The game is fun, quick to play. The mechanics are very original with three different types of health, plus various character abilities. Now, there are many games that do that, but in Isaac, the game allows you to combine anything with everything. You might get a couple of powerups that seem next to useless or even annoying - but when you combine them with one powerful thing, you get some ultra-power combination.

    The sheer amount of content is awesome. I counted 44 different main enemy types, with each having 1-7 subtypes making it over 150 different creatures you can encounter in the game. And then you should add bosses to that.

    You can play the game for 100 times, and each new run would still feel fresh. It's one of the best roguelike games out there.    … Expand

    Un videojuego de masmorras que recuerda a la vieja escuela con su dificultad, que radica en la suerte del jugador; gracias a los ítems favorables como desfavorables, partidas diferentes y personajes con distintas habilidades, además cuenta con un exquisito toqué tétrico en su ambientación gráfica y musical que resulta adictivo pero a la larga se convierte en un juego monotomo y aburrido.

    El diseño de niveles es muy básico, vas avanzando de sala a sala hasta encontrarte con el jefe al que matás y luego se abre una trampilla a un sótano más profundo, por lo que se repite el proceso, hasta llegar al jefe final, éste jefe puede variar, dependiendo del camino que hayas elegido durante la partida.
    Lo que lo hace tan adictivo es el factor sorpresa, debido a que cada partida es diferente, con bases diferentes, salas diferentes y por supuesto, enemigos diferentes.
    Enfatizo en los jefes, que son de lo mejor del juego, muy originales todos, con una estética turbia.
    Si le doy un 8 es porque el juego tiene muchos fallos, sobre todo en pc, que en muchas computadoras el juego no inicia, se crashea muy seguido o tiene ralentizaciones cuando hay muchos enemigos, pero aún así no explica esas caídas de fps, (el juego tiene gráficos pixelados, la gracia de éste es su apartado artístico pixel-art de antaño).    … Expand

    8/10 - Very good
    (after 23 hours of playing)

    Unique, a bit disturbing atmosphere. It's difficult, requires a lot of dexterity, but it is very fun to play and very addictive

    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]
