“ISAAAAC!” I’ll never forget the first time I heard that scream erupt from Isaac’s mother after I’d finally KO’d that freak. At first I revelled in the fact that I’d finally completed the game. Then suddenly as the credits rolled, it dawned… I had only just begun.
The Binding of Isaac was released on September 28th 2011, almost a year ago. Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl created the game, the same pair that conceived Super Meat Boy. But today, we focus on Isaac. At first glance, it’s essentially a multi-floor dungeon crawler with power-ups. But nope, it’s so much more than that.
The online multiplayer beta for The Binding of Isaac is offline until further notice after someone data-mined the latest build.
Will Isaac make an appearance in Fortnite? We're taking it with a pinch of salt for now, but collaboration has been teased on Twitter.com by Edmund McMillen.
Nathan Lynch for SG: "On the 10th anniversary of The Binding of Isaac's release, I look back on what the game has meant to my life."
Happy 10th Birthday Isaac! The Binding of Isaac really is one heck of a rabbit hole of a game, and even more of a time sink.
