If I have a minor niggle, it’s that Rebirth feels kind of floaty compared to Vanilla Isaac, a little too fast – but that just might take some getting used to. The graphics are spectacular and detailed, the style is lovingly Zelda-inspired, the music is fresh and exhilarating, enemies pop upon death, viscerally gratifying… it’s truly a delight. Then they went and gave it a new splash of paint and hundreds of hours of content. Needless to say, Nicalis took The Binding of Isaac and its DLC, Wrath of the Lamb, and compiled it into a single re-release. New soundtrack from Matthias Bossi and Jon Evans. Couch drop in/drop out co-op, ingeniously designed where a second player can take health from the first player and becomes a unique familiar, providing backup until death (as long as you have health to spare, you can respawn). “Seeds” that allow you to choose a particular run. New trinkets (items you carry with you that result in an effect – Pink Eye gives you poison shots, Cancer increases number of tears, etc.). Instead, I’ll tell you what’s new in Rebirth: New enemies, regular and boss types. I’ve explained the core mechanics and features of the game in a previous paragraph, so I won’t get all redundant on you.
And just like way back in 2011, when he first burst onto the scene, he’s stolen the show yet again. It’s been three years since Isaac’s first appearance, and now he’s back in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Now publishers are testing gaming goodwill with the constant stream of HD ports, definitive editions, remasters, and remakes. It’s no secret that gamers are suckers for a good dose of nostalgia, and that we’re willing to pay top dollar for games we loved years ago that haven’t necessarily weathered the passing of time so well. The Last of Us, Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs, Metro – all have come out recently, all have had re-releases in fairly quick succession. It’s a troubling trend lately that games have been getting the HD re-release treatment so quickly after initial launch. The Binding of Isaac is one of the most highly replayable games around, with many players logging in hundreds, if not thousands, of hours. On top of that, items you find and unlock, enemies you encounter, and floor layouts all change with each descent – effectively making every run unique. As you play, succeed, and succumb, you’ll unlock items and characters for each subsequent playthrough. Suffice it to say you’ll have some options. And of course, you’ll have to fight… well, I won’t spoil that. You’ll have to find secret rooms (and secreter rooms!). To win, you have to juggle health, bombs, keys, and money. You start fighting the denizens of your basement with your tears – yes, this game is a strange one – but as you progress you’ll find unlockables, in places such as stores, treasure rooms and arcades, that change your tear effects, sometimes drastically (and sometimes your appearance).

Isaac spends much of his free time in the fetal position. You fight all manner of monstrosities down below, ranging from hideous pin worms, cleft-lipped disembodied heads, physical manifestations of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Isaac, in an understandable act of defiant self-interest, descends into the basement to escape.
His mother, convinced she is being spoken to by God, must offer Isaac up to prove her love and devotion to Him. You play as Isaac, a young boy living with his mother. The Binding of Isaac, released back in 2011, is a rogue-like indie darling that wears its Zelda influences on its sleeve.
