TBOIR is a remake of the original binding of isaac.
They added new items, new floors, new items, synergies, characters, and a new artstyle.
Its a roguelike in which you can shoot in four directions and collect items to get stronger and get further in the game.
The game has a amazing community on reddit.
And this is my most favourite game ever.



Gameplay
You shoot in four directions as you get further you get more items and as you unlock achievements you unlock characters, floors, bosses, and items.
Some items synergyses like brimstone andhoming tears get you a homing brimstone of death.
If you dont take red heart damage on the floor youll get a deal with the devil or angel ( see more at tips about that)
There are curses like curse of the darkness which make the floors dark.
There are four new characters: Eden (which has random items every time) Azazel Lazarus and the Lost.
New cards like Jera which dupes consumables and chests.
Its easier to break the game now.
Special seeds like BASE MENT which has a infinite basement.
Also alot of new challenges: 20 in total.
New transformation but its quite useless.
Four bullet hellish bosses.
Boss rush: kill Mom before 20 mins on the timer to unlock a boss rush to get 2 items or 1 if you teleport out.

Graphics
The game is gory pixely and amazing, Theres alot of detail on the ground and on the walls.
Items look good the animations are solid character design is creative and items make you look different.
The game also runs really smoothly and its runs on most pc’s.


Story
Isaac his Mom hears the voice of god and ask his Mom to take away his toys,then the voice of god strikes again and tells her to kill him, Isaac finds a trapdoor and goes to the basement and as you play through you fight various bosses like Pin Monstro Krampus Chubby Mega maw etc.
And the set bosses(aka bosses you always fight in a run) Mom It lives Isaac/satan and Blue baby/ The lamb.


Audio
I love the music its ambient and it just sounds good especially The Cathredal or a boss fight.
The sound effects are also really good.


final verdict
A must play roguelike with lot of gameplay good music good artstyle and good gameplay.


Tips:
Learn enemy patterns and what they do.
try to not get red heart damage so you can get a deal with the devil.
If you keep taking dwtd items from the dwtd you get a devil deal usually.
Deal with the angel are pretty useless the item pool is bad and you will usually get spirit hearts.
Watch some videos if you really can’t progress I recommend finding stuff out on your own.
Hard mode gives less red hearts and more champions which drop less consumables.


And yes afterbirth is worth getting.
