Insanely Fun! (based of core rebirth game)

Story (spoilers of minor details)

Isaac and his mom live alone. They enjoyed a quiet life until "a voice from above" (you will find who this actually is in the game) claims to Isaac's Mom that he "is corrupted by sin". Isaac is isolated and his play-things are taken away. The voice later returns, instructing mom to sacrifice him to her god (judging by the context, we are refering to the christian god, but again, this isnt god...). When all seems lost, isaac finds a hidden access to a basement. Not knowing what he faces, he jumps down.

Binding of Isaac is prehaps the best rouge-like on the steam service. Smooth gameplay even on the minium required computer specs. A variety of characters and loads of items even in the vanilla game,, the randomness of everything makes for a high replay value- personally I have clocked well over 300hrs on it across systems (ps-vita and xbox).

Plus sides:

-high replayablilty
-hundreds of items to use across a variety of charaters with unique abilities and start- from isaac the the blood-beam blasting power of the devils son
-Fancy a challenge? try some of the themed challenges
-awesome bosses- from the 4 horsemen, to a giant sentient.... flesh pile?
-no tutorials- learn it your self
-brilliant controler support (I would recomend it)

Down sides:

-some runs of the game can be unforgiving.... but still funs so... not really a downside
