Of course, this all relies on the symbolism of the Knife Pieces. Hell, maybe the entire reason he goes on the alt path is because instead of just trying to survive, he genuinely wants to fight back against her and deliberately seeks out something to put him on even footing with her.
No wonder she has different moves in Mausoleum - she has an Oh, Crap! moment and realizes he has something other than his tears to definitely destroy her, so she changes up in a desperate attempt to stop him. Therefore, killing her heart early leads him to her Corpse, because he effectively stopped her from escaping after the first defeat.
But in Mausoleum, she has no such opportunity. This could imply on the normal path, she has time to put her heart in a secure place in the Womb/Utero while Isaac needs to fight through multiple enemies and rooms first. When he has the chance, he goes straight for the heart before she's able to get away. Why can the Corpse only be accessed by using the Knife Pieces to kill Mom's Heart early? Well, let's think.Rest assured, you can still break it-you just need to get inventive. The meta has everyone experimenting right now, leaving the door wide open for anyone to step in and contribute to the overall well of knowledge. It's never felt smoother to play: the movement is neater, the transitions are quicker, the added minor animations bring extra character to the intense oddness you can work upon the endless dungeons. This is an ideal starting point if you've never tried Isaac. Updates like Repentance can be torn between satisfying the diehards or trying to bring in new players, but in time I believe it will do both. "Hell, it's even worth noting that most of the new unlocks aren't tied to Hard Mode at all, so very little is forcing you to play it if you hate it that much." That positive review was written to specifically address the pushback-a common refrain among negative Steam reviews is that negativity is rooted in the shock some players are suffering from losing their primo strats after hundreds of hours of gameplay. "Hard Mode shouldn't be the default way to play, as many people have been treating it since Rebirth," says one Steam review. Hard mode is now considerably tougher due to faster enemies and fewer health pickups, another point of contention. "There's loads of new content, but everything that was already good has been made a bit shit." "I like exploring the new areas, I like the new characters, but there feels like more has been taken away than added," reads one comment on Reddit. The Binding of Isaac has been maintained through years of iteration, so such a dramatic revamp can feel like a shock to the system. And I get why players would react to an expansion this way. The community is starting to understand this, albeit begrudgingly. Isaac has always had good item combos, like Mom's Knife and Polyphemus, which makes your weapon an all-powerful steak knife, or Isaac's Heart and Blood Rights, where you deal heavy damage to everyone without sacrificing your own HP, but the sense I get from Repentance is that we can now pull from a longer list of weaker combinations, forcing us to be more adaptable.
It worked, and far better than either of those items would've done on their own. Go in, start blasting, kicking my iced companion towards danger at every opportunity. With those upgrades and various health pickups like Dead Cat that kept me alive and respawning, the next few floors came easily.
Binding of isaac antibirth knife series#
The former is a familiar that shoots at whatever you're firing at, essentially giving you double-barrel tears, and the latter's a baby frozen in an ice cube you kick around the room that freezes anything it touches (if nothing else, the series is as weird as ever.) That was until I got Brother Bobby and Cube Baby. I started fresh on Steam, having clocked a couple hundred hours on Afterbirth on Nintendo 3DS, and struggled to get a handle on even the early rooms when I first started playing. Repentance is more a game of synergies than its predecessors. (Image credit: The Binding of Isaac / Anthony McGlynn)
