Fantastic DLC expansion for an already fantastic game. Lilith immediately became my new favorite character. Afterbirth adds a new mode, GreedFantastic DLC expansion for an already fantastic game. Lilith immediately became my new favorite character. Afterbirth adds a new mode, Greed Mode, which changes up the rules a bit, but is a lot of fun. We get new enemies, items, floor models, room styles, added to the base game as well. A worthy expansion from a great developer.
Afterbirth is basically a love letter to the base game, introducing items and mechanics that perfectly entwine themselves with the main game to improve and compliment the already unforgettable experience that is The Binding of Isaac. If you liked Rebirth, you’d be doing yourself a major disservice by not treating yourself to Afterbirth.
If you've already bought The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and you like it, then Afterbirth is basically an essential purchase. On the contrary, if you couldn't engage with Rebirth, then there is absolutely nothing here to change your mind.
Afterbirth is a great piece of DLC with some hiccups that are not game-breaking, but it needs to be patched before I am willing to spend as much time with it as I have with Rebirth.
