Review: Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+

Don't cry to me, oh baby!

Over the years, I’ve grown to have almost an obsession with Edmund McMillen’s games. They typically are fiendishly simple ideas with tremendous complexity in execution. Super Meat Boy is just a platformer, but the level design follows a Mario Bros. style approach to teaching through mechanics and the art design reflects a personal belief that McMillen felt games were failing to live up to. Any meager description doesn’t do the game justice.

The same can be said for The Binding of Isaac, which is almost like an autobiography of McMillen’s childhood. While he obviously wasn’t killing weird creatures (or his own mother) in a disgusting basement, the naivety of childhood shows in the grotesque depiction of biblical figures taken through an almost literal description.

And while the remake for Isaac, dubbed Rebirth, felt like a definitive edition of McMillen’s magnum opus, we eventually saw the release of an expansion that basically doubled the game’s content. A little over a year after that and we’re being treated to a second, and supposedly final, expansion called Afterbirth+.

Does this final chapter live up to fan expectations and is it worth getting for the uninitiated?

Score: 8.5/10 - Great

@GamePressure they announce that The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth DLC has been released.

Later today fans of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will be able to try out the content of the Afterbirth+ add-on, which is launching on Steam within several hours. In the second DLC to this popular action RPG shooter with heavy rougelike elements the eponymous boy Isaac will have to fight a whole lot of hellish creatures as well as face his lost siblings and eventually his mother, who wants to make a sacrifice of him. The expansion brings about over 50 new items and a new final chapter with boss. Here’s a creepy release date trailer:

• bestiary! (enemy collection page that keeps track of everything you kill in game) 
• 5 new challenges!
• 2 new transformations!
• small monthly content updates! ( every month after release we will be updating the game with our favorite fan made designs, monsters, items maybe even challenges? who knows… i may also toss a few of my own modded designs in if you are good!)

• 4+ new bosses and a new alt forms for existing bosses!
• a handful of new enemies, features and new champion forms!

more news to come… stay tuned!

According to the official website, a new expansion is being planned for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, the recently launched remake of 2011's action roguelike The Binding of Isaac.

Details:

once the holidays end, the nicalis gang will be jumping back into the abyss and digging into the very large design doc i have ready for em. i have big plans for this expansion, i hope to add a very huge chunk of gameplay in the form of a new game mode that will almost double the amount of things you can do, im very proud of this new design.

aside from this new game mode the expansion will feature a ton more enemies, bosses, new areas, endings and a new playable character as well as a slew of new unique items to play with…

However, for this expansion, the development team is asking for creative input from fans, especially regarding item ideas:

the biggest change for me when it comes to how im designing the expansion is this time im asking the vast and creative isaac community for ideas. 

this week ill be asking for item ideas, i will be cherry picking the top 10 items from this list and implementing them into the expansion.. so be sure to make them good.
