It sucks comparing all rogue-likes since Isaac to Isaac but it's the best comparsion to make. Enter the Gungeon does a few things right that Isaac did wrong but does way more wrong than right. In Isaac you have so many combinations that most runs feel completely different, for better or for worse. But in Gungeon there isn't a lot of that. There's the guns and that's about it. You don't have any fancy combos that are going to make your bullets ginormous that when they make contact do explosions so big they make your game lag. Really quickly the game starts to feel very samey.

For me, the worst thing about this game and the reason I quit playing it was half of every run is just going to feel the same. It takes so long for you to get enough guns and items for your run to feel interesting and unique that you just get bored. It equally doesn't help that the first floors are way too large for their own good. In Isaac you can finish the first floor in just a couple of minutes but in Gungeon it takes so much longer and feels like a grind. A skilled player is never going to get hit on the first floor but that same skilled player will still have to go into every room so that they have enough casings (money) to buy from the shop later. This game has next to zero pickups when you clear a room. You feel lucky just to find a key on the ground. Picking up guns and items is what makes a game like this fun but you have to skip out on at least one of these things way more than you'd like since you probably won't get a key drop and the shop only sells one most of the time.

All in all Enter the Gungeon is only enjoyable for a very limited time and starts to feel like a drag way faster than I'd like. I'd only recommend it to someone that's gotten tired of playing The Binding of Isaac and wants something new of the same variety, otherwise just buy Isaac. It does what Gungeon does but better.

A successful run of the game takes about 45 minutes to a hour. Times that by each run being randomly generated. 6 characters to choose from that change the game in their own way. All the different items that will change the game each time you play it. And all the different types of bosses. You'll be able to get a whole lot of replay ability out of this game. The DLC Wrath of The Lamb adds a lot of different items and bosses to the game. If you want to make the game that much better I'd recommend the DLC along with it. Over all I highly recommend The Binding of Isaac 10/10.
