The problem isn't that games can't be difficult. Otherwise you could finish it without picking items and still have fun. Isaac's fun is on its slot machine mechanics, not in an abstract concept of skill. Like they did with The Lost (giving him the D4, then Holy Mantle, and now a permanent Holy Mantle). I played and completed the other expansions before, and it's always like that at launch: they say it's working as intended then have to fix the bullshit later. And to be honest, the game is nothing if you don't do the endgame content.Īnd when the game-breaking items are nerfed, all you can do is hold R until you start with a good combo. You just can't rely on skill alone and you consistently have to break the game to win. If you don't get damage upgrades, the game doesn't just get harder - it gets boring.
Same with Spelunky.īut in Isaac, it's all about items and statistical upgrades. If you play Slay the Spire and don't get good cards and get cursed all the time, you can still work around it. If you play Hades and don't get what you want, you still get a decent run that allows you to play around it. I disagree for one reason, mostly: Isaac is not a mechanics-focused game in the sense that you can just beat any run as long as you are very good. That's why the sudden difficulty spike after years of little to no challenge in Repentance is a bit jarring for some. I don't know who you're trying to fool but Isaac has always been "baby's first roguelike" in terms of difficulty. If I wanted that I would have played a different game. So you can't really blame people for being upset that the games core identity and overall difficulty just completely changed overnight after years of being consistent.įor me personally, I didn't play Rebirth for the 500+ hours I did because I was looking for a challenging, hardcore roguelike experience. Yes flash Isaac was hard, but Rebirth isn't flash isaac.
A fairly easy roguelike that lets you get powerful very quickly and easily. I think my big issue is that thats EXACTLY what Rebirth has been for all these years. It's not supposed to be a casual game where you one shot every enemy in the room instantly on 95% of your runs. Rebirth/Afterbirth/+ have always been too easy But that is NOT the game, isaac rebirth was this for fun game that was easy and where you could laugh at your brokeness that bringed fun, here, take my grand supreme ultimate copypasta:
