A massive dungeon crawler with an endless content, especially with all the DLC.

Over 1k hours into this game and still haven't unlocked all the characters, let alone all of the items. Haven't even touched challenges.

The art is animatedly disturbing, with gore-riddled floors and enemies depicted in this fittingly cartoonish art style.

There's still room for a story in the Binding of Isaac, making itself prevalent from the moment a player launches the game and watches the opening cinematic. It features dark commentary on coping with religious trauma, child abuse, neglect, and a host of other issues made apparent as the player descends the numerous endings, peeling back the layers to theorize and uncover what really happened to Isaac and his family.

There's a reason this game has a legendary reputation. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth was released seven years ago (at time of writing) and its intoxicating formula is unmatched. Critics have seen this game serve as a gateway for millions of people to get into the roguelike genre. Myself included.

While there have been bosses and endings that don't quite make sense within the lore, or have left the community feeling divided / unsatisfied, (Hush, Delirium, Mother, etc) the gameplay elements have more than made up for these qualms. Not to mention what appears to be the games true and final ending from the latest DLC which, in my opinion, perfectly ties up the game's themes in a clear and mature way.

Perfect 10/10.
