• Sentiments

  • I find 60% of the runs to be boring because enemies are killed too quickly, making the gameplay unengaging.
  • The other 40% of runs are frustrating due to poor item drops, making it difficult to progress or defeat bosses.
  • Many rooms feel nearly impossible without high speed or precise movement, which adds to the frustration.
  • Around 30% of enemies have repetitive mechanics, requiring long waits to become vulnerable, which feels like poor game design.
  • Enemies that stick to walls have terrible hitboxes, making combat feel unfair and poorly designed.
  • Lazarus is a weak and uninteresting character compared to others, offering no compelling reason to play him.
  • The stats menu is poorly designed and only becomes useful after purchasing DLCs, which feels like a cash grab.
  • Despite finding the game boring, I have already invested 60 hours into it, which makes me question its value.
  • I hope the game improves with the DLCs, but my current experience has been disappointing.

  • I feel that the game is absolutely terrible, and this sentiment is strongly negative.
  • I am conveying a message from Edmund McMillen, who advised everyone not to play 'The Binding Of Isaac', which feels like a neutral statement but carries a negative undertone.
  • I express a highly negative and violent sentiment towards Edmund McMillen's family, which is deeply disturbing and hateful.
  • Despite the negative tone, I give the game an 11/10 rating, which feels sarcastic and contradictory, suggesting a positive sentiment in a mocking way.
