    I saw this and decided to grab it. I haven’t played it since the original game came out!

    I have to say, I enjoyed the humor a lot more as a teenager. It doesn’t ruin the game or anything, but it’s very young Reddit humor, which didn’t age great for me. It’s fine though. The game is still fun.

      I never clocked the game as trying to be humorous. Gross and shocking sure but the story itself is pretty sad.

        It’s definitely supposed to be humorous too, but a kind of gross out humor. It’s the same with his new game, Mewgenics. Just the name alone tells you it’s supposed to be humorous, but also repulsive.

    Well they dropped the full set (base + expansions) from $20+ to ~$5.

    I played a lot of the original BoI release, but eventually got burnt out on roguelikes and never felt compelled to pay a premium when it was redesigned on a new engine for Rebirth. But at $5, sure, why not. Good Steam Deck title.
