Well, well, well, it’s only January 6th, but Edmunt McMillen has already pleased all the fans of his masterpiece game “The binding of issac” new addition "Afterbirth+». I myself have been a fan of this game for two years now, starting from the very first version of Isaac, and I am very glad that the developer does not forget about his creation and releases new DLC every year.
This was started by the addition Wraith of the Lamb, which added more than 50% of new content to the game, ranging from new flies to items such as the Jagged Pickaxe (Pickaxe from Minecraft).
(Angel Room)
After this addition, I was already in fits of epilepsy, it was filled, one might even say, overflowing, with everything, every item changed the character, for example, “feces” made the character smeared with it. What’s most interesting is that my old laptop didn’t play games, but Isaac somehow magically started, and from that very moment I started playing and playing it. Why have you been playing Isaac for 2 years if the game itself came out in 2011?? It’s simple: in our city at that time there was no Internet to download games from trackers. From the universe itself “The binding of issac” I met around January 11, 2015, and on the same day I abandoned this game. To the question “why?“I can immediately say that at that time I did not understand how to play it, but exactly a month later, on February 11, I dug up this game again on my hard drive, and for some reason at that time I really liked it. In just a month of playing I opened 250+ items and all the characters that were in the Persians’ selection. (actually these weren’t all the characters, but I didn’t know that at the time). After a complete (as I thought) completion, I went to wander around the local tracker in search of a new part, and indeed, I saw a remake of this game called "The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth". Without thinking twice, I downloaded it and began my nerdy evenings. I played almost every day, and now it’s already July 19, 2015, namely my birthday. Before the feast, I decided to play it again and finally beat the angel. When I turned on the laptop, I realized that all the files on the PC, like it itself, were covered. And that’s it, from now on I forget about Isaac and the hours I spent on him. But months pass, and I begin to realize that I miss him, namely my Azazel (one of the game characters, my favorite Persian, when I discovered him, I played the whole game for him). I decide to download it again. Imagine my surprise when I learned about the new addition: “Afterbirth”. I probably screamed for about 5 minutes with joy, I was in some kind of anticipation of something new, as I was in Wraith of the Lamb at one time, and yes, I was not mistaken, new bosses, objects, rooms, enemies were introduced into the game. And, most interestingly, Greed mod, where the goal was to survive in a location that was gradually filled with enemies. (Enemies appear randomly, and everyone can kill you)
(graded mod)

In order to survive in this mode, the developer placed 5 additional rooms on the location, namely: 1. Golden room, you can enter without a key; 2. Gold room, you can only enter with a key or a coin if you take the modifier; 3. Shop; 4. Cursed! Room (a room with spikes, 0.5 hearts of damage is dealt when entering and exiting it); 5. Devil/Angel Room (can be entered after completing special wave 11). At the end of this mode, there is a huge monster – “Greed”, when killed, the mode ends and a new ending opens.
“That’s it, I’m stuck here for a long time,” I thought at that moment. And yes, I was not mistaken, I played this add-on always and everywhere, on the computer, with a friend, with an acquaintance, EVERYWHERE! All this continued until January 2, 2017. It was on this day that I found out that a new DLC was coming out, and if I said that I screamed with happiness when Afterbirth was released, then here I was screaming all over the street of my small town. People passing by looked at me like I was an idiot, but at that moment I didn’t care. I was eager to buy this game and play it from the very beginning. And so it happened. Thanks to the Internet, I downloaded steam, found Isaac and bought the entire pack of games. By the way, because of the discounts, I bought everything together for about 500 rubles, I love Steam, but that’s not what I’m talking about now. I specifically didn’t check the Isaac forums before entering the game, so as not to spoil it, and I didn’t do it in vain! At the first
I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the game. Finally, friends, we have added “mods” from independent developers, which will be updated once every n number of days, and that’s not all. A more complex one has been added"Greed mod", which is now called – "Greedier!» and also a new character appeared – "Apollyon".
(New main menu)
In addition to this, of course, new items, bosses, rooms and enemies have been added. Since the new DLC is a repetition of everything old, but in a new form, I will not tell and describe every aspect of the game, because I tried to talk about all this above. The game is finally perfect, everything the fans wanted is here, and I’m glad Edmant McMillen listens to the community’s opinions. What can I say in the end?? I would like to quote Ivan Loev, or rather, his review of The Binding of Isaac back in 2011.
“The ultimate free time destroyer for all fans of old school hardcore arcade games. The Binding of Isaac will either hook you and won’t let go for a long time, or after a couple of deaths it will make it clear that this is “not your thing.”. In any case, you shouldn’t expect revelations from above… and even if you do, we recommend listening to yourself first, and not to voices from the ceiling. And who knows, suddenly the neighbors are talking loudly"
IN Afterbirth + everything remains the same, but much better.
Pros: hardcore; animation and drawing; very high replayability; music.
Cons: hardcore; there is a possibility of breaking the keyboard during the first hours of the game.
