With each use of Tammy's Head I would turn in to what I can only describe as a Kraken, with my laser tentacles spreading across the room flailing at anything in their path, completely obliterating rooms within seconds. But in Afterbirth it might be the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a while.
In the base game this combo would be powerful but boring since only Tammy's Head worked with lasers. On my second run as Azazel I found My Reflection (Tears fire a smaller distance and then return to you), Rubber Cement (your tears, or in this case laser, bounce off the wall), one of those wiggling worms that curve your shots, and finally Tammy's Head (an item that fires your tears in all directions). Now, in Afterbirth, you can pick up some crazy combos. With Afterbirth this issue is mostly fixed as there are now a lot more item synergies that can work to your benefit even if the items that go in to the combo are weak or annoying on their own.įor example, in Rebirth if you had Brimstone (an item that allows you to belch a laser beam across the room!) new combo items that you picked up would most likely not give you a benefit but would almost always give you their negative effect which resulted in people simply avoiding interesting albeit slightly sub par items in fear of destroying their existing or future synergies. In Rebirth most people gave certain items (little planet, soy milk, etc.) a wiiiiiiide berth because they either made your life miserable or they simply removed whatever cool effect you had going on and replaced it with their own. Out of all the new stuff added in Afterbirth perhaps the most influential are the hundred or so new items as well as the reworked item synergies. This does however mean that if you did not like The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth then Afterbirth won't be changing your mind any time soon, but for the rest of us this is one solid expansion. Every aspect of gameplay has received some improvement, from simple things such as new items, room layouts and enemies which shake up the usual flow of a run to more obvious additions like the new greed mode and daily challenges. The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth is in my eyes the best kind of expansion/DLC, it adds new features and improvements to the base game without ruining what made the base game good.
Back in my Afterbirth release article I mentioned how even after a few hours I could confidently say that this is an excellent piece of DLC, and now, some 20 hours of play later I can even more confidently restate that.
