The Binding Of Isaac

The Binding Of Isaac, normally called TBOI, is a game created by Edmund McMillen. He is also the creator of a game called Super Meat Boy, a super hard game with a lot of blood.

 

The Binding Of Isaac is a rogue like game. You have to do "runs" to unlock items, secrets and challenges. The gameplay is very simple, you control one character and you have to get items on every room to be powerful and be able to defeat the enemies. Every run is diferent, for example, you can get a damage upgrade on the first floor, but on other run you can get a speed upgrade.

The story talks about Isaac and his religious family. When you finish the last floor, you unlock an ending which explains everything.
One day, one woman and one man get married and they have one son, Isaac. They were happy until they had a daughter called Maggy. Isaac's parents loved Maggy and they left Isaac apart. One day, Isaac wished his sister's death, and this wish came true.
Isaac's father left their home, and his mom started to drink and consume drugs. Some months later, Isaac's mom heard a voice from God, or that's what the game says, and the voice told her to sacrifice his son Isaac. He heard everything and he found a trapdoor on his room and that was his only escape way.
And that's how the game starts.

It's a deep story and there are a lot of theories about the game. For example that his mother dressed Isaac like his death sister and that's why there are a character on the game called Magdalene.

And finally I have to say that the game is very difficult whey you start, but when you play some hours, you learn how to play and what does an item.
