Why I HATE the binding of Isaac - Rebirth

Hello, welcome back to a new video game

review. Today I'm playing The Binding of

Isaac: Rebirth, and I've heard a lot about

this game. It's a pretty famous game,

very popular. A lot of people were playing

it a couple years ago. I never played it

because it looks boring and I didn't want

to pay money for it, but it's on sale on

Steam, only costs £4, so I thought why not

give give it a try,

but it's rubbish. Okay, so first

of all, I don't like the menu system.

Looks really stupid.

So I guess I play as Isaac. And yes,

I'm filming the screen with my phone,

so I can't be bothered to set up my

computer. Oops, I moved it.

Okay, so how do we play this?

Um, first of all, I don't like the

graphics. I know they're trying to do this

retro kind of look, but it just— it

looks kind of stupid. Oh, one of these.

I don't even know how to play. Why?

Clicking my mouse does nothing.

What? What am I supposed to do? I can only

walk. Maybe I'm supposed to use the arrow

keys. Oh, I'm supposed to use the arrow.

I thought I was supposed to use the mouse

to click. That would have made more sense.

Now let's put my right hand here. Oh, he

shoots like this. Oh, I'm dead.

Today I died. I was killed by this thing.

Okay, now I know how to shoot. Maybe it'll

be better. Could have told me.

So what do I do?

What is the point of these? Look, you can

just walk straight down the middle and

they don't even touch you. Wow, so

difficult.

So there's these fat things. I guess you

just shoot at the monsters.

Pretty boring gameplay. Get this mouse out

of the way. And so far I don't really feel

like I'm having fun. I don't know when the

fun starts. I feel like the whole The gist

of the game is you shoot these blue balls

at random monsters that are

supposed to be all quirky and weird

I'm guessing this is a boss now.

I don't really appreciate the art style,

really. It's not my kind of tea, not my

cup of tea. I can kind of see what they're

going for, but it doesn't really do

anything for me. Just looks stupid.

Oh, this is taking ages. But I hate boss

battles in games because They're so

repetitive and they take ages to do. They

have these massive health bars that take

like 100,000 shots to deplete,

and then they've always got like a set

pattern of attacks and you've got to dodge

them or know when to attack or where the

weak spots are. Either boss battles

are really challenging and frustrating,

or they're just really easy and they take

ages to finish like this. Look, this is

not challenging at all. I'm just

running around it and it can't even catch

up to me. There's no— there's zero

challenge here. I don't even have to

do anything. Look, there's no way it can

touch me. All I have to do is keep

shooting at it until it eventually dies.

I got stuck on this. Oh my God, I got

stuck on a rock and

then you have to do it all over again.

I'm not doing that again. Okay, see if

this is any fun shooting flies.

No, this is not fun either.

I have no idea why this game was so

popular. When was it popular? It was like

a few years ago. All of the big YouTubers

like Jacksepticeye, Markiplier were

playing it, weren't they?

Why was it such a smash hit?

At best, it seems like a kind of quirky

mobile game. I can't imagine playing this

seriously on the computer. Oh, another

boss. It's a massive turd,

just like this game.

I can't stand boss battles,

but this is just annoying.

Usually gameplay, gameplay is fun

because it feels good. For example, um,

for example, I love Rainbow Six because it

feels good and satisfying when I shoot

people and I get a headshot. This does not

feel satisfying in any way. It's just

repetitive and boring.

There's no satisfying effects,

or I don't know,

it's just I'm not getting any kind of

enjoyment from this.

It's just boring.

Why is he shooting blue balls out his

face? I suppose they're tears, aren't

they?

Okay, so I cleared this room, then where

Now I can go into the next room.

Oh, it's this boss again. See if I can

beat it this time.

So far I don't feel like this was a wise

use of money. Good thing it was

only £4. Can you imagine paying full price

Oh my God, I died again.

This game is so crap.

Play it for a few more minutes before I

give my final conclusion, but so far it's

not looking good.

Gameplay, rubbish, 1 out of 10.

Art style, It's okay, I guess.

I'll give it 4 out of 10. It's not the

worst art style in the world.

Controls, I guess it feels okay, you know,

it's quite responsive.

Gameplay is just boring. I don't like the

You're just spamming the arrow keys whilst

trying to move out of the

way. Oh God, I don't know how

these games get so massive— massively

popular. People like

weird things, don't they? Weird things

become popular for weird reasons.

The other game that's popular now, what is

it? Among Us. That game's another boring,

rubbish-looking game.

Okay, 10 seconds to go.

Well, that was my review of Binding of

Isaac. A load of rubbish. Won't ever play

again. I can't even be bothered to refund

it. I don't even care about the £4.

Would not recommend, would not buy.

The end.
