This is the original version of Binding of Isaac, not the remake Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. The original is capped at 30 fps, has different graphics, and does not have as much content as Rebirth, even before you count Rebirth's DLC.

With that said, Rebirth is literally twenty times as expensive right now, and it's published by Nicalis, which has a host of issues (https://kotaku.com/inside-the-gho...1838068522), so there are certainly reasons to get the original instead.

Still 45 cents too much. The creator isn't a very good person
But the composers of the musical score are, so buy it to support them and their families.

30fps and screen tears all day. This game never looked good and is frankly very repetitive and boring

It's like someone did an overnight game jam with their kid and this is the result

Fair enough. I would pay just for their portion

If you want the Wrath of the Lamb DLC don't buy the bundle. It's cheaper to buy them separately right now.

The music is better in the original game as well. I don't like the music in Rebirth.

I've probably spent more hours on these games than any other game I've ever played.
Incredible fun and replayability.

Just do yourself a favor and avoid the latest DLC (Repentance). It pretty much ruined the game for me (IMHO).

Reading wikipedia it sounds like his games are artistic outlets for his parents religious zealotry in his childhood. Seems a-ok to me, and really, a spark this makes me want to try this game even more. Did the guy do something terrible we're missing?

From everything I've seen, Edmund seems like a good guy. Tyrone, the head of Nicalis, which publishes Isaac is the toxic one.

When stories came out about Tyrone, Edmund did say he would continue doing Repentance with Nicalis, because of contracts and it also employed many non-toxic peeps, but, that would be the last one.

Edmund is a key character in Indie Game the movie, and, I'll never forget my experience watching that. My dad was in the hospital in an induced coma, and, everything was really just sad around my house. I wanted something to distract me that was happy, so I put on Indie Game. At the end (spoiler) his game, Super Meat Boy ends up doing well, and he's just filled with such joy about it that I just started crying tears of joy as well.

(My dad ended up being fine).

With that said, Isaac is my favorite game of all time. I've played every version of it since Rebirth and dropped thousands of hours into it. It's such a great great game.
