Is Binding Of Isaac a good game?
I remember watching something of it back in 2016-2017 and then recently watched Pyrosynical play coop with one of his friends and I am wondering if I should buy all the dlcs and the game in August or July?

I think it's a challenging game, so if you enjoy watching people play and comment but dislike retrying on the same level quietly, it's probably not for you.

If you like the roguelite genre, it's pretty high up there on the list.

Yes but i mostly played boss rush game wich where added later on, but its a game that keeps unlocking each time you play it/compleat it.
nah , it's terrible ... I'd rather play E.T on the atari 2600 instead. :cocochan2: :P

It's probably the best rogue-lite out there due to the amount of items, unlocks, secrets, combos etc.

There are tons of unique items and many of them are unlocked via achievements (600+ at the time of writing). Most exotic items also combo with other exotic items, so you can get some pretty wacky item combos. There is also mod support, so there is even more replay value.

Probably the only issues I have with the game is that it can be difficult to see what's happening in some of the more "bullet hell" type moments. Some items/secrets in the game are also very cryptic, to the point where you will inevitably at some point need to use a wiki just to figure out something (though some would argue that is what makes rogue-likes/lites good).

Outside of those, I would say it's still currently the best of the rogue-lite genre.

You could ask in the binding of Isaacs forums

Its fun, but the dlc repentance removes most of the fun to make the game much harder. And nerfs like nearly everything good.

Yes but it becomes a job at some point so keep that in mind

Yeah for people that already beat all the old content... Its nothing but beast and corpse runs back to back >.>

Hate the corpse alt path.

i'm not really into roguelikes but the binding of isaac is special for its item mixing, that can make you op or super weak

I really love rougelites, some of my favorite games are in that genre, but I find the game very boring and makes me want to play EtG instead.

That mod moved this to the old isaac game..

The op was talking about isaac: rebirth.
