The Binding of Isaac
The Binding of Isaac
The Binding of Isaac est un jeu indépendant d'action-aventure créé par Edmund McMillen et Florian Himsl, publié par Edmund McMillen et sorti le 28 septembre 2011 sur Steam pour PC et Mac. L'interface et le gameplay s'inspirent de ceux du jeu The Legend of Zelda sur NES, mais les combats se déroulent majoritairement à distance, Isaac utilisant ses larmes comme projectiles, et il obtient au fil de l'aventure des armes combinables offrant une grande variété de gameplay. Décrit comme un RPG d'action à tir avec de forts éléments rogue-like, le titre propose des donjons, objets, ennemis et boss générés aléatoirement, plus de 100 objets modifiant le personnage, plus de 50 ennemis, plus de 20 boss, 4 chapitres sur 8 niveaux, plus de 3 classes déblocables et des fins multiples. L'histoire suit Isaac, dont la mère entend une voix divine exigeant un sacrifice et finit par vouloir le tuer ; il s'enfuit dans la cave où l'attendent de nombreuses créatures, et le jeu compte 13 fins possibles après chaque boss majeur. Développé sous Flash, il affiche un temps de histoire principale d'environ 11 heures et près de 141 heures pour un parcours completiste, et est vendu 4,99 euros. La presse a salué un jeu d'action-aventure déjanté à atmosphère kawai gore et gameplay varié, tandis que The A.V. Club l'a qualifié de « pitch-black and hard as hell » ; certains joueurs regrettent la difficulté frustrante et l'absence de guide ou de direction dans le jeu. Le titre obtient un score Metacritic de 84 et une note agrégée de 83,06.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The Binding of Isaac is a loony action/adventure game with a Kawai Gore atmosphere, random challenges and a varied gameplay. Thanks to the talent of the developers, the formula works perfectly well and draws you back in easily to slaughter some more, or see the poor Isaac being bludgeoned violently. »
« The Binding Of Isaac is pitch-black and hard as hell. »
« A deceptively deep game. That it only costs $4.99 is nothing short of astounding. I don't see myself putting it down until I hit that magical 100% completion mark, which is hours and hours away at this point. This is one trip that I recommend to everyone open-minded enough to give it a chance. »
« Sprinkled with humor and nods to gaming's past, The Binding of Isaac is a ballsy game that revels in its absurd moments. Shock value aside, you'll want to play this indie gem over and over again. It's imaginative, utterly absorbing, and the best five dollars I've spent all year. »
« Addictive and very surprising, even when you have been playing several hours, The Binding of Isaac is yet another quality game from independent developers. »
« The Binding of Isaac is a game I would reccomend to anyone old enough to hold serious opinions on family planning. It is available on Steam for less than the price of a cinema ticket and it deserves your attention. »
« Thankfully, Isaac's shmup-like approach makes the game a little easier than the nightmare of a melee-only roguelike, though it's still no cakewalk. Like the Souls series, you'd best keep on your guard, since death is permanent and there are no saves. A playthrough can be as short as an hour, but with randomized loot and boss encounters on top of several unlockables, you'll want to put Isaac through hell multiple times. »
« If the style doesn't put you off, buy this. Now. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Difficult, frustrating, and unforgiving. I have to admit that I still need to beat it. It's not impossible, but it's really hard. That's why I love Edmund's games. The story isn't detailed, but it's still enjoyable. I've heard it's inspired by the author's troubled past with religion, but I'm not sure. »
« Güzel oyun, mekanikleri hemen kapıyorsun ancak ondan sonrası çok zor. Oyunun içinde hiçbir rehber veya yönlendirme yok. Oynuyorsunuz eşya alıyorsunuz ama neyi aldınız ne yapıyor hiçbir fikrim yok. Hele bir de bazı eşyalar birbiriyle etkileşime girmesi, gizli etkileşimler falan yani rehber bakmadan bulmak veya farkına bile varmak çok zor. Ama böyle öğrenme eğrisi yüksek, zorlu bir şey oynamak istiyorsanız bakabilirsiniz. Casuel olarak da birkaç kez oynarsınız ama bir yerden sonra körlemesine oynamak bayıyor. »

« The Binding of Isaac is a quirky and macabre roguelike that has captured the hearts of gamers with its blend of challenging gameplay, disturbingly charming visuals, and endless replayability. This indie gem, developed by Edmund McMillen, has become a cult classic for good reason. At first glance, The Binding of Isaac's aesthetic may shock or even repel some players. The game's dark and grotesque art style is unapologetically unsettling, with a narrative inspired by biblical themes and grotesque imagery. However, beneath this unsettling surface lies a deeply engaging and addictive gameplay experience. The core of The Binding of Isaac's appeal is its roguelike mechanics. Players guide Isaac through randomly generated dungeon floors filled with grotesque monsters and grotesque power-ups. Each playthrough is a unique experience, with the element of randomness keeping the game fresh and exciting. Death is inevitable, but it's also a learning experience, as you gradually become more skilled at navigating the game's challenges. The game's controls are simple and responsive, which is essential given the fast-paced nature of the gameplay. The variety of power-ups and items you can collect during your playthroughs adds depth to the experience. Experimenting with different combinations of items and power-ups keeps the game feeling fresh, even after dozens of hours of play. The Binding of Isaac's difficulty level is notorious, and it's not for the faint of heart. The game is unforgiving, and success often requires a mix of skill and luck. This high difficulty can be both a strength and a weakness, as it may frustrate some players while providing an exhilarating challenge for others. The game's dark humor and themes won't appeal to everyone, but for those who appreciate its unique style, it offers a darkly comedic narrative that unfolds through gameplay and cryptic storytelling. The lore of the game is hidden in item descriptions and subtle hints, adding to the mystery and intrigue. One of the drawbacks of The Binding of Isaac is that its graphics and sound may feel somewhat dated compared to more recent indie titles. However, for many players, these visuals contribute to the game's distinct **** conclusion, The Binding of Isaac is a challenging and highly replayable roguelike that may not be suitable for everyone due to its dark themes and high difficulty level. However, for those who appreciate its unique brand of dark humor and enjoy the roguelike genre, it's a must-play title. Its addictive gameplay, variety of power-ups, and endless replayability make it a standout indie game that continues to capture the hearts of dedicated players. »
« not that much to say, the game is simply amazing and worth every cent - however it was made in flash, which isnt too good **** engine. its laggy as hell »
« Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше» »
