Edmund McMillen, the creator of the game, even said that the new meta's difficulty is meant to force fans to try new methods of completing runs. While some fans claim the new expansion is much more difficult than Afterbirth or Afterbirth+, there are many new items that either flat out break the game or combine well with just about anything. It wraps up the story and adds hundreds of new items, trinkets, two new characters, and new paths for the player to take – and there are a lot of new Binding of Isaac Repentance items. The Binding Of Isaac: Repentance is the third and final expansion for the Binding of Isaac series.
