    Wrath of Lamb fixes a bit of what was empty in the original game. There's still major design flaws in the game (IE having dungeons generated with tons of things you have no capability of getting no matter what path you choose, basement doors opening up right from under you and taking you to the next level before you can get the powerups after a boss victory, enemy health bars beingWrath of Lamb fixes a bit of what was empty in the original game. There's still major design flaws in the game (IE having dungeons generated with tons of things you have no capability of getting no matter what path you choose, basement doors opening up right from under you and taking you to the next level before you can get the powerups after a boss victory, enemy health bars being completely not accurate for instance having an empty bar of health and still going on for a good 10 **** shots, etc. etc.) and there are still plenty of bugs. Trinkets are added which are a pretty "meh" addition in my mind, one HUGE qualm I have with them is that most of them are slight stat boosters, yet you get NO indiciation of what they do - it isn't like a normal powerup or item where in the bottom right it displays what it does, and you can't hover over the item icon or anything to get a brief description of what it's doing (That would just be TOO useful now wouldn't it?), basically it forces you to go outside of the game and look up online wikis to see what they do. That's **** unacceptable - bad design at its finest.

    On principal I also think it's **** you don't have an option to play normal binding of isaac gameplay, once you purchase this game through steam you're **** stuck with it. There's no option in game, no option to uninstall, nope you are now playinig wrath of the lamb indefinitely. Unaccaptable and lazy on behalf of the developer.

    I'm giving it a decent rating because despite it's flaws (which really irk because they'd be EASY to overcome if the developer wasn't so lazy) it's a HIGHLY replayable game, with a great amount of challenge and variety. Well worth the 3 bucks or whatever the **** it costs, it's definitely worth the money, just be prepared to rage often and heavy.    … Expand

    Binding of Isaac is a great game, I really loved him I bought the expantion right when it was out.
    the DLC added alot of things to the game, feels like playing it all over again when I didnt know what does what, feels good.

    Unfortunately this DLC has bugs galore, along with some questionable design issues. Firstly, the first few floors are unreasonably difficult, even for Isaac. I realize that the game is new, and familiarity will quell this issue, partially, but even still, some of the enemies that are available in the first floor are ridiculous. This goes with one of the new bosses as well, although theUnfortunately this DLC has bugs galore, along with some questionable design issues.

This goes with one of the new bosses as well, although the other boss is much easier.
    The endgame, however, is much easier than it's ever been. This is mostly because in order to get past the first few floors, you have to be over powered. Then, by the time you get to the later floors, your power has only stacked with each new item. This leads to ridiculously easy fights against bosses who should, and used to, pose quite a challenge. Hopefully the bugs and balancing issues will be fixed in time, but at the moment I can't really recommend this DLC; it's only 3 dollars, however, so buy it anyway to support the dev.    … Expand

    The binding of Isaac is a great game, and this dlc adds a lot of stuff making it feel almost a brand new one. Sadly, this has greatly unbalanced the game, in the means of making it difficult at a level that feels more frustrating then challenging. The new enemies are way more powerful than the old ones. There are more powerful power-up too, but they go in the same pool of the old ones,The binding of Isaac is a great game, and this dlc adds a lot of stuff making it feel almost a brand new one. Sadly, this has greatly unbalanced the game, in the means of making it difficult at a level that feels more frustrating then challenging. The new enemies are way more powerful than the old ones. There are more powerful power-up too, but they go in the same pool of the old ones, making it difficult to make builds powerful enough to match with the challenges of the new enemies. Rooms full of monster, where is almost impossible to get through without taking damage, are quite common, I've actually died a lot of times despite having very good power-up because I couldn't fly and dodge all that was being thrown to me. I like difficulty, but I like it when it is fair, and in this case it doesn't feel like it. My advise, if you haven't played yet vanilla, is to play it without the dlc. Then, if you really want more and are fine with what I described above, go for it, the amount of content it adds it's sure worth the price.… Expand
