This is an incredibly haunting and terrifying tale of a religious extremist following the insane voices in their head. Unfortunately, what is in the basement is beyond him, and Mom is waiting impatiently to fulfill her duty. Isaac, in a panic after learning what is about to become of him, finds a basement door under the rug in his room, and he dives down in an attempt to save himself. The story continues from the original premise, and that is that Isaac’s mother, through “divine” revelation, chooses to kill her son for God (Very similar to the Biblical story of God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac). This is the finale and the end of poor Isaac’s suffering and pain. The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is the final form of The Binding of Isaac. So how does Repentance add to the already stellar reputation of The Binding of Isaac? There is only one way to find out! Let’s dive in.
This is a brutally difficult game, but it is one of the grandfathers of modern day roguelikes, and it continues to set the standard for content, challenges, and enemies. If you are unaware of The Binding of Isaac, it is a top-down roguelike dungeon crawler by Ed McMillen, the same guy behind Super Meat Boy, and Florian Himsl.
For those of you living under a rock, The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is the final DLC for one of the most awesome indie games ever.
