This game plays like what you might imagine The Binding of Isaac plays like if you could play it in first person, which sounds like it might be janky but surprisingly, in the words of Todd Howard "It just works.".

TL;DR:
Pros:
- Easy to pick up and understand.
- Plenty of replay value.
- Unique gameplay.
- Controls are tight and responsive.
- Familiar concept.
Cons:
- Can become a little repetitive if you play nonstop for a period.
- Takes a little while to become accustomed to fighting the enemies.
Overall rating: 8/10

For those that don't know what The Binding of Isaac is, it is a rogue-like (or rogue-lite if you are pedantic) game where you progress through a floors worth of rooms containing arrangements of rooms containing enemies and items to help you defeat said enemies. Once you die you lose all the items and mission progress you got, with the exception of progressive unlocks over a multitude of playthroughs. The progression, while gradual, is the thing that personally motivated me to continue playing and don't let my hours fool you, I've mostly played this game offline when I was moving and had no internet. As you play and understand more of the meta-game and enemy tendencies it becomes easier to play, similar to BOI. It was a thoroughly enjoyable game to jump into and I have very few problems with it.

If you know for a fact you like games that are similar to The Binding of Isaac, then I encourage you to give this game a try and that it will probably be worth paying full price to play. If you are unsure whether you enjoy games like The Binding of Isaac, I would still encourage you to play this game in that despite being conceptually similar to BOI, the gameplay being sort of like FPS in a 3D environment is quite different and worth trying, granted I would encourage you to consider more thoroughly what price you would be willing to pay to play it and consider picking it up on a discount if you are unsure (and there is always refunding if you are unsure beyond that).

Edit: 2024 and this still holds up :)
