Me with Binding of Isaac, Hades and Vampire Survivors On paper, I should enjoy them a lot, yet I like some pretty similar games a ton more. Those 3 each do something I really dislike to the point of not playing and feeling like I'm missing out. Every year I give them another shot and never manage to stick around for more than 1 session.
Amazing games I'm sure, just not for me :/
I don't think anyone likes Binding of Isaac at first glance. It has a disgusting theme, it's slow paced, the combat is a bit awkward at the start, and you won't understand anything at first...
But it's an acquired taste. I stuck with it and watched a few videos that explain how it works, and it's a very rewarding game. Ended up playing 400+ hours.
My friend once suggested to play The Binding of Isaac. I have checked gameplay and though "what a crap game. Soot tears to dig through poles of poop. How funny..."
The I was watching one streamer and he began to play that game. I got the idea of how it plays and this time tried myself this time.
It is weird. Weird as heck. Controls are simple and it is basically bullet hell type of a game. But when you understand how items are working with each other, you begin to appreciate work put in this game and how deep it can actually go. The beauty of this game is in how items work with each other. Really unique game.
