They are both magnificent games. There really should be no questioning about getting it, though. Different graphics that add a different sense of quality. New bosses. More items. What's not to want?

Rebirth is objectively better to vanilla Isaac in every possible way except for the music, which is a toss up of good tracks from Danny B and good tracks from Ridiculon. Just be aware that once you play Rebirth you will never be able to go back to Flash Isaac.Flash runs so much worse, the artwork is worse, and there isn't as much content. Other than that, as long as you don't plan to want to go back to Flash, pick up Rebirth as soon as you can.

though there might be a significant up-tick in vanilla players again once Florian's much awaited expansion to WOTL comes out. Sure it might only last a few weeks or so, but that might close the gap SLIGHTLY until Afterbirth comes out of course.

I'm definitely going to give Florian's DLC a try, but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to last with that slowdown. I played Isaac about daily for almost a year and a half before Rebirth came out, and I got about 375 hours in it. Rebirth has only been out for 4 months and I already have 350 hours. That's almost entirely because of how smooth Rebirth runs, at times I didn't want to play Flash Isaac at all because of the slowdown.

I didn't like the first one much. Would I like the second one?

Depends what you didn't like about the first one. I couldn't get into it because of the lack of proper controller support (Joy2Key didn't quite cut it), and because I started with Wrath of the Lamb, which is a much steeper learning curve.
Both those problems resolved with Rebirth, plus a lot more polish.

Rebirth is an improved version of the first one, much better imo, it has way more things and the atmosphere makes you feel like Isaac is really inside caves, there is also rainbow poop :P and local coop. You also have seeds so you may replay exactly same level again or play same level with friends and share results, you can even use Santa Hat.
btw you can get it more cheaper than 15€ in Steam Trades.

idk, I see ppl selling it at 7 tf2 keys and 6 csgo keys......well when game was at pre order it cost 3 keys, I remember I got 3 copies, and after game released I retraded 2 of them for 4 keys each, that way the game cost me just 1 key xd, that was back when Russian store was not completely region locked, now when it's all region locked so prices went up, which is not cool.

I just wish the local co-op was made a little differently (as in both of you could get different items and both could go through doors) and that Danny B didn't have the falling out with Edmund (I don't like the new soundtrack AT ALL). I may be alone on this, but I preferred the original art style (but then again I like retro themed games so that could be part of the reason)

You'll be excited to hear that a very talented modder named Kilburn is working on a true coop mod, as well as new items, bosses, and content. You and a local friend each play as a separate Isaac, and you both have to chose which one of you takes what items and consumables. it won't be released until after Afterbirth though, because once the code gets changed it's going to break all his mods and modding platform, so anyone who makes something with his code would have to fix it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77uF6sVGLQc

yep Rebirth can be considered "dumbed" down slightly, so the audience will be larger. (It was a lot more meta and skill and repetition in the first game, and in Rebirth I often see people get "lucky" and beat Mom on their first try, which ALMOST never happens in vanilla) But hey I don't own Rebirth yet, and don't plan on getting it until they release Afterbirth or whatever they are calling the DLC.

Once I got lucky in Rebirth and I just raped everybody including Satan, I got an item which make you totally invincible, I also had an eye that was zigzagging around all the map and dealing damage, an item which spawned tons of 1 hit blue flies, and it recharged in every room, so I kept spawning them, and also a violent invincible yellow fly appeared if I took at least 1 heart of damage, with all this + I also had 11x lives, from which I did't waste even 1, so I just waited for my minions to kill everybody around me xd.
Here is a screenshot of it clicky

yep there is a lot more RNG in Rebirth, but it seems like people who play the vanilla don't want the same amount of RNG or more to come for the expansion coming soon-ish for WOTL

well not taking anything away from Rebirth, but I personally will hold my judgment until after the DLC comes out.

I wonder when this is going to be in an indie bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
A long long while. Edmund now feels that bundles devalue games and doesn't plan to put Rebirth in one until it's completely dead.

I like the original. Played rebirth and it definitely runs more smoothly but I don't like the new pixel graphics at all. In terms of content rebirth winz though

I am thinking of buying Rebirth, as I really enjoyed playing the first BoI.
Do you recommend buying it?
Is it really different compared to the first BoI?
Worth the 15 euros?
