It is a sobering story that honestly does not get enough praise for just how scary it actually is and why we want Isaac to live so desperately.īut for those who have already been to hell and back in previous versions, what does The Binding of Isaac: Repentance offer that is worth the return? And is this an indie game on Nintendo Switch that justifies a proper $60 price tag ($39.99 for Afterbirth+ and $19.99 for Repentance DLC)? The short answer: HELL YEAH. The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is chock full of religious iconography that shows just how deep into the religious bubble Isaac and his mother existed in. Diving deeper and deeper into the basement and what follows adds more terror to Isaac’s poor story as he seeks redemption, or, as the final DLC title so eloquently puts it, sharing his repentance and earning favor from the unjust God.
The casual willingness to not even question the decision of an unjust request but agree to it immediately is scary beyond measure, and it gives The Binding of Isaac: Repentance a crazy story right from the get-go. This is an incredibly haunting and terrifying tale of a religious extremist following the insane voices in their head. Unfortunately, what is in the basement is beyond him, and Mom is waiting impatiently to fulfill her duty. Isaac, in a panic after learning what is about to become of him, finds a basement door under the rug in his room, and he dives down in an attempt to save himself. The story continues from the original premise, and that is that Isaac’s mother, through “divine” revelation, chooses to kill her son for God (Very similar to the Biblical story of God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac).
This is the finale and the end of poor Isaac’s suffering and pain.
The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is the final form of The Binding of Isaac.
