    A video game that, once you understand what its creator intended to convey, you simply can't stop playing. It's filled with combinations, items, and ways to approach each session that never seem to bore you. It offers a demanding yet progressive difficulty that adjusts to your level as you progress. In summary, a game brimming with possibilities, offering entirely distinct sessions each time.

    Rebirth is one of the best Rogue-Likes I've played because I could hardly find the variety in the game in any game.Good story btw

    A rouge-like masterpiece with practically endless content. If you're into rouge-likes this is a must play!

    This was the first game that i got on steam and to the day i still play it. The game is in my opinion the best roguelike title to the date, it tremendously improves the firts game but keeps the style and playability of it.

    To me, the binding of Isaac is incredibly overrated. I love roguelikes but this game didn't make me want to come back to it like most other roguelikes I enjoyed. The game is well made but lacks that certain element that really engrosses you. I find the semi-religious story very interesting but it isn't implemented super hard within the game.

    A game that everyone should buy.
    Lots of tools that make each game different from the last run, also the more you go on with the game the more tools you unlock, making the gameplay even more varied. Is all this not enough for you? There are tons of mods to make the game even more varied.
    In short, it's a game that is worth more than the money spent to get it, so it's a must buy.

    For me, it is the best roguelike game ever.

    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

    My favourite of the rogue-like genre, Binding of Isaac keeps you playing with new unlockables all of the time. These unlockables number in the 100's which results in hours upon hours of content.

    an interesting game, I couldn’t go through to the end, it’s very difficult, it didn’t capture my nerves

    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

    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.

    Visual: 9/10 game looks visually unique and consistent
    Audio: 9/10 good sound design
    Gameplay: 10/10 There aren't enough words to describe how good this gameplay loop is.

    Recommend?: yes, this is the GOAT of roguelikes and the genre defining game. There is so much depth and nuance to your decision making and build choice. The characters feel unique and fun/challenging. Play this game.

    The replayability and builds that you make every single run of this game is literally so fun, and the genre is all about this. So its one of the masterpieces of its genre. The items that changes your character's look is literally the cherry on top.

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

    The Binding of Isaac is THE best Rouge Like game out there.

    It is a long game with a lot of content, like a ton of content that you unlock over time. At first, it can all become overwhelming, all the different enemies and items. You don't know what they do, but you will learn all that in the course of the game. Sometimes one game can end in a second and in another one it can last

    Sometimes one game can end in a second and in another one it can last 30 min.

    Don't let your bad runs disencourage you from playing more, it will get better.

    Concluding:

    The Binding of Isaac has unique pixel graphics and great game design.

    It is fun to play and has lots of content for one to experience.

    Definitely a great buy

    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.

    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.

    Of all the remakes that were released in 2014, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is truly a born again game. What once was just a sketch, turned into a beautiful painting.

    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]
