The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Critic Reviews

An improvement in nearly every way to the original. It is a fun, highly addictive, and immersive experience that will grip you with its unique design, tight gameplay, high replay value, and compelling cast of characters.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is the perfect version of The Binding of Isaac, with more content, more blood and more mom.

If it’s not the best indie game of the year, it’s pretty bloody close to it.

It is a spectacular, affecting journey, even if its destination is perhaps the creator's alone.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is an even greater version of a already amazing game. Rebirth addresses the frame-rate issues of the original and adds new items and bosses to shoot your tears at.

As you delve further into Rebirth, you begin to realize that almost every facet of the game has been improved.

Rebirth is the very antithesis of cautious design.

It’s the Watership Down of videogames, and I can only mean that as twisted compliment.

A horribly addictive roguelike that spawns endless invention while never forgetting to deliver disgusting thrills or unhinged humour. An essential indie experience.

The Binding of Isaac pulls off everything it tries to do, and very well. The story is interesting, the gameplay fantastic, and the art and music are wonderful as well. The only things I found wrong with the game were that the bosses were repetitive and the challenge mode was lacking fun.

A great re-release of one of the biggest surprises of the last few years. Yes, the music was better in the original and the graphics are not that different, but the huge amount of items and combinations make up for that. Rebirth is a lot smarter and extended than that Flash game that started it all.

It's hard to see why this game is unique if you don't play it. If you already know what it is, now it is bigger and better than ever; if you don't, this is the best moment to discover it.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a fast-paced and fun twin-stick shooter.

Between the different characters, morbid and disturbing story, and intense, action-packed gameplay, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is definitely a game all PS4 and PS Vita owners should have.

As an enhanced and "beautified" remake, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth can also conquer those who have already spent tens (if not hundreds) of hours with the original version that came out three years ago.
