Permanent death of a character is one of the most extreme punishments a game can dole out. In The Bind of Isaac: Rebirth, a rare balance is struck where its brutal bullet-hell difficulty isn’t a punishment, but an opportunity to see something totally new. Because of excellent randomization and seemingly endless content, I’m still seeing items, bosses, and entirely new types of dungeons even after 30 hours of intense twin-stick shooter-style battle. And, every so often, I pause for a moment and appreciate that I’m playing as a traumatized, naked child who’s destroying poop monsters and zombie babies by crying on them because his crazy mother tried to kill him. So it’s something we can all relate to.
