Review: "The Binding of Isaac"

Lord of the Flies

review for The Binding of Isaac (PC/Mac), 1-player adventure, out now

I finished The Binding of Isaac some time ago. At least, I think I did. I was the first person to play the game - no, really, I won a competition. I was legitimately the first person to play the game on Steam. Pre-release and everything. I have sunk at least thirty hours into the game - that's twenty-five more than most recent release games. And while I think I have "beat" the game, there's... there's no way of knowing. The game is so freeform, so randomized, I have no idea whether or not I have genuinely seen everything the game has to offer. Well, I do know. I haven't. This game is huge.
