Arrow The Binding of Issac
This needs it's own thread. Why? Fuck you, that's why.



From the makers of Super Meat Boy but turning their hand to Zelda instead now, with multiple endings and every level randomly generated giving masses of replayability.



It's kind of that mature Zelda that guy wanted, but instead of over-compensatory manly Link and swear jokes, this is mature in the sense that the character is fucked up and multi-faceted. It leans into art game territory a few times, but the gamplay itself holds up so I can let off the occasional veers into the world of pretension.

This is what Ars said about it:

Quote:
While the graphics may look cute and whimsical, the dark tone of the game is disturbing. Isaac is fighting for his life after escaping his mother's attempt at religious sacrifice, and according to the game she's acting on the orders of God himself. Isaac has been systematically abused and terrorized by her in the the past. He's fighting these horrific monsters with his own tears. This isn't the proud hero of the Legend of Zelda series, this is a small child who is the victim of real horrors.

I can not recommend this game enough, it's even priced right as it's currently £3.59/$4.50, so just get it.

Gameplay looks kind of geometry wars-ish. Kind of sick of that crap.

Yeah, it's like GW, Zelda and SMB had a sexy party and 9 months later this game was born. Now that I'm considerably less drunk, it still freaks me out.

You had me at "From the makers of Super Meat Boy."

I love those motherfuckers.

However, WHAT THE FUCK?

It's a fun diversion from playing something else. I pick it up about once a day to attempt getting through. I've probably only found about 40% of the possible items in the game, and I've gotten to "Mom" once.

Trying to play this, keeps saying it is unavailable. Is it cause I am in Peru or it's just messed up.

Yeah, some games on Steam require you to be in a supported region.

I ended up deleting it after beating in twice (the extended basement the second time) in back to back play-throughs. Certainly worth the money spent, but I don't think it has enough depth and variability to be super-replayable.
