Although the gameplay is outclassed by Rebirth, I still have a lot of fun playing the original. The fact that this still holds up quite well as a roguelike on its own just shows how strong the formula was from the start. HOWEVER, as much as I love Ridiculon (especially on Mewgenics, fantastic work), Danny Baranowsky's music direction in this does so much to sell this game's atmosphere in a way the Remake doesn't. The OST's ambient and ghastly mood nails the nasty horror aesthetic that goes along with Edmund's art direction here. I think this element of the game was lost when it transitioned to a pixel artstyle and energetic OST, which somewhat dulls the horror tones in favor of a more arcade-y feeling.
For me, The Binding of Isaac was never just a game. Frankly, I don't think this game is "just a game" for anyone who plays and enjoys it... This game is actually a depressive manifesto... The manifesto of every little child who grows up in brutal conditions, trying to forget or alter the miserable world they live in through their tears and imagination... Therefore, do not expect to find unnecessary sentences here like "the game's graphics are like this, its gameplay is like that." This game wasn't made for graphics, optimization, or achievements... It was made to narrate the final hours of a child trapped in dark despair, helplessness, and loneliness... The tragic part is that, even without seeing the ending on my first playthrough, I instantly understood what had happened to Isaac and why his tears were his only weapons... It is the only game that I haven't uninstalled from my computer for years, and the one that I play repeatedly after long breaks... For those who truly feel it... @developers: You have created an unprecedented piece of art while depicting "grief". Congratulations.
