The Binding of Isaac
Best Roguelike Games You Can Play Right Now
The Binding of Isaac is punishing, gruesome, and downright horrifying. It also features some of the best game design in video game history and continues to be a must-play for roguelike fans. The game is packed with a seemingly endless array of disgusting bosses and quirky items. It plays on religious themes by basing its story loosely on the parable of the same name. Isaac is a tormented, tragic soul who constantly finds himself outnumbered and outgunned in a brutal nightmare world. The game has seen huge success over the years, with the developer adding new content and new versions to the game consistently.
The sheer variety on offer here is the main reason to play. No two runs are remotely the same, with Isaac donning new cosmetic items and abilities from the get-go. Great value for money and insanely high praise from critics and fans alike make The Binding of Isaac well worth your time, whichever version you choose to pick up.
