I would just like to review, in the most negative way POSSIBLE, "The Binding Of Isaac".

It's The Legend Of Zelda, Abusive Christian Edition.

It is an offensively terrible game in every respect, starting from the lousy gameplay and ending about 30 seconds later at the offensively stupid story, and I say this as someone who is entirely convinced that all religion is insanity to begin with.

It should never be played, ever, by anyone.

You should not under any circumstances buy this game.

I feel robbed of the $1.25 I spent on it.

This is, without hyperbole, the worst game I have played in years. And I play a LOT of lousy games - I've played Super Meat Boy, and it was nowhere near this bad. I've played Left Behind, it wasn't this stupid. The developers should be ashamed of producing it and Steam should feel bad for carrying it.

hey fuck you - Legend of Zelda had skilled people make fun to play dungeons with interesting puzzles that also (in theory at least) seamlessly acted a a rolling tutorial system for the game's various interesting weapon and item mechanics; Binding of Isaac is a game where they went for the cheap route of having all the dungeons be randomly generated like Diablo, which instantly eliminated the "puzzle" element, and they didn't put the effort that Blizzard did to make sure that the randomly generated levels didn't routinely and constantly place items and chests in totally unreachable places, AND there's no interesting item mechanics.

The closest thing to compare BoI with is the old Lucasarts Yoda Adventures thingie... except that was still better than BoI because its random generation system for maps wasn't pants on head stupid.
