Is it still worth playing?

Nicalis' 2014 remake of Edmund McMillen's 2011 Flash game, a top down roguelike for PC and the PlayStation 4 and Vita, later on other systems. Isaac escapes to the basement when his mother, convinced she is doing God's work, is about to kill him. Down there, floors are procedurally generated, death is permanent and you shoot tears at enemies. Each floor holds shops, treasure rooms and curse rooms, and hearts, bombs, keys and coins are what you spend. Items are the heart of a run: passive ones stack, alongside one active item, one consumable and one trinket. Runs can be saved and resumed, seeds replay the same layout, and a second player can drop in as a ghost baby that costs a heart. Item combinations that differ every run, from a large library to unlock, keep giving it new runs today.
