Which version of The Binding of Isaac should I get?

[Hales]

I'm interested in getting The Binding of Isaac, but since there are 2 versions of it, I'm not sure which one to get. So, which version should I get and if you like, explain. c:

There are only two versions, the original and Rebirth.
Get Rebirth, it has many more items and features than the original, plus the Afterbirth DLC adds even more content.

I will say though, the original game had a much better soundtrack, not that the one in Rebirth is bad by any means. There is a mod that adds the original soundtrack to Rebirth, which is nice.

Technically there are 4 versions.
Binding of Isaac (BoI)
Boi: Wrath of the lamb (Wotl)
Rebirth
Afterbirth

I recommend getting the binding of isaac collection. It is £2 (3$?) right now, and includes BoI and Wotl.

It is laggier than rebirth and afterbirth and has a lot more glitches, but if you're looking for a steal, that's your game. The other two are really good, and double-triple the amount of content from the first game, but unless you're willing to pay the £12-13 then I would start with the original.

Oh wow my bad, I saw afterbirth and just thought it was another version, didn't notice it was DLC, thanks.

Get Rebirth and Afterbirth... There are much better combos that you can do compared to the original ... but then again I have both... but I have over 700 hours on Rebirth and afterbirth

Original is a lot more challenging and I think art style and music is a lot better in Original Isaac as well.

Rebirth + Afterbirth is more enjoyable and versatile. 60 fps 24/7 they almost aren't joking on the game store page. More items, more monsters, more anything exept lags. Original is like the original Meat Boy versus Super Meat Boy. Buy Rebirth + Afterbirth, you won't regret it in any way.

Rebirth and Afterbirth. Way better technically (graphics, interface, controls) and more and better balanced stuff. Just checked and I apparently got more than 800 hours in this game, so....

I would suggest buying the original first so it can familiarize you with rebirth's massive content. But if you are planning on buying just one, then buy rebirth because it has the same spect of content as the og, but more like I said above

[Data (REAL)]

Yea, buy original when it's cheap if you don't know about the game, but if you know you'd like the games, and are willing to pay just a bit more, get rebirth+afterbirth.
If original was a toy boat, wotl was an inflatable raft, rebirth was a battleship, and afterbirth was a nuclear submarine. the gap between original and new one is huuge, with rebirth+afterbirth offering so much more, both from a technical standpoint and from a gameplay one.

[Hales]

Thanks for the suggestions, I decided to get rebirth+afterbirth, and I really love it.
