The Binding of Isaac - Review!

So, late last year - around the time of that Mayan calendar explosion thing - I’m looking though the ever-tempting Steam sale and catch sight of ‘The Binding of Isaac going for a mere £1.99. I sort of remembered seeing some of this game upon its release, but for some reason my 2011-self was all “This probably isn’t for me”, despite the fact that
- The game was going for like, 3 shillings or some shit, and
- The game was co-created by one of the dudes responsible for Super Meat Boy, which was super great…boy. (sorry)
Anyways, my poor decision making aside, I finally bought the game as well as £2 of DLC, because it adds more stuff and stuff = Fun! And fortunately, the game ended up being a much deeper and more surprising experience than I could have hoped for.
Stop with the unfunny jokes, McVities. Penguins used to be cool…OH GODDAMNIT
MAGNETS!
I feel like there’s some kind of meme potential going on in this epic stare down between Bob ‘Dalai Lama’ Odenkirk and William ‘Fat Kid’ Von Lanningham III

Kick back and watch an ageing videogame mascot beat up a fat man in a large space robot / watch your childhood nostalgia get turned into an elaborate Maya cutscene
Also the boss theme remix is pretty serious
classic N64 beats, son
