Is Repentance good now?

[_Se2_]

Im wondering if this "trash game" finally fixed the bugs like crashing during challenges, fights with mother+ or not working dailys. Can I finally play this dlc in peace or I need to become back my money ? Sorry for jokes i still find it funny xd

[squat_instructor]

yes

[ShitterMan]

A couple days ago i tried playing tainted eve in greedier and the spawning waves telefragged my clots since the clots don't recieve the same protection against spawning enemies as the player. No, the game is not finished yet. There doesn't even seem to be basic playtesting. I find it hard to believe that someone took the time to try tainted eve in greedier and thought "hmm yes this is perfect, it should be like the delirium fight but for your clots".

It's noticeably worse than before. Stay away

[UwU]

Wtf with those troll comments above
Not finished and worse than before... yea... sure...

OP, you should probably just look at all the patch notes and decide yourself. Almost everything got fixed (and of course every bug that was ruining the game, like crashes/softlocks), a lot got changed in a good way (tho some may say that it became worse, like echo chamber "nerf"), even some of the worst new characters jumped straight to the top of the list after rework
Mostly Delirium rework and some new content that Kilburn wants to add is left, maybe we'll get it this year, lol

Greedier is utter ♥♥♥♥, but you can run through the first floor or two by using her Mom's Knife-like attack. Don't spawn the clots, and when your HP hits half of a heart, obliterate everything.

this was playable since it released, sorry but your wait isn't worth it

[The Unmobable spés]

its amazing. its really good

[wakaru2]

think so

[fromage_enrage]

Much better since the patches came out. There's still a couple of bug that need fixes, but it's a lot of fun. Go for it

[egg carton]

repentance is amazing i dont wanna be that guy but most of the people who still dislike repentance even after a year since it came out are just bad at the game. they play on a 100 percent save file and expect to have a good time when really u should start fresh when playing repentance so you can get used the all the balance changes. greedier still sucks though stay away from greedier until they rework it later this year.

Many fixes and additions since the November and December patches.
The rest of the unlocks like Flip, Sumptorium, Bag of Crafting and C-Section were finished alongside Birthright effects. Three completely new DMG up items in boss rooms.
Challenges and Mother don't crash under common circumstances anymore.
Daily Runs and their achievements work again.
Tainted Lazarus has been revamped to be engaging and enjoyable.
Black Markets, Restock Machines, The Emperor? and The Moon? cards finally fixed.

There have been some losses or changes people might not agree with. I don't think they do all that much but if you have to get angry at something:
Echo Chamber and the D1 were nerfed.
Tainted Isaac and Genesis exploits don't work anymore.
Tainted Cain recipes are now randomized instead tied to the seed (you can still generate your recipes with EID or an external site).
Tainted Eve clots' health now slowly expire to 1 health, requires Sumptorium usage to refresh their health.
Dark Esau absolutely can't be cheesed anymore, and also can't be killed. Can block projectiles now while dealing considerable contact damage to enemies providing a new interesting playstyle.

Still not ideal, or even how it should've been on launch, but significantly more enjoyable now. Crashes are a lot less common and i haven't had a single softlock yet.
T.Jacob and T.Laz are fun now. Well, i did like the idea of strategically killing Dark Esau, but T.Jacob is still more fun now. T.Laz is really strong too, only because "Flip" has been implemented properly, so he didn't even needed a re-work. "C-Section" is also implemented and like Flip, absolutely broken (in a good way). Edit: And everybody has a unique Birthright-effect now. There also some minor balance tweaks, mostly for the better, though.

T.Apollyon is still not fully implemented and T.Lost is still "RNG - The Character". Devil Deals are also still pretty bad and almost never worth going for. But those are due to an overhaul. Same for Deli and Greedier. Pills are also still a waste of content w/o synergy, but i don't think, they'll ever get buffed.
"Beast", or more accurately, side-scrolling sections, still have some weird interactions, like Ocular Rift, which may result in unavoidable damage. Speaking of which, that is still very much a thing (more so on HM) and should be planned for, not even if your OP, but especially if you are. Enemy/Bullet visibility can become a big problem, once you're loaded with tear-effect.

He didn't strictly deny or confirm anything – he just said the special locusts weren't planned for every item. If anything, you can use his words as a proof that T. Apollyon is unfinished, because there are not enough special locusts done.

"Not a core mechanic" is pretty explicit to me. Special locusts aren't the norm, you shouldn't expect this as the main gimmick.
