last update i asked for you guys to give me some awesome challenges for the DLC via reddit, here are the top 9 challenge suggestions you all posted.
keep in mind that not all of these challenges will make it into the DLC, and if they do they might not be designed as described.

1. a XXXL room challenge: all floors are XL but have the max amount of rooms per XL floor.
2. High Speed!: the game plays at x2 speed
3. Sonic: all doors are arcade doors, start with 99 coins all enemies have greed shot effect (cause you to drop/loose coins) you die at 0 coins.
4. Max hearts : a challenge where you start with max heart containers but hearts no longer drop.
5. High Rule: start with moms knife + trinity shield + boomerang
6. Rollers: each time you complete a room all of your items and stats are rerolled (item pools arent depleted)
7. BRAINS! : start with 3-4 bobs brains, blindfolded (no tears)
8. Blue Bomber: blue baby run with kamikaze + flying + new dlc item + pyromaniac, Blindfolded (no tears)
9. all start boss rush: a challenge where you fight all the games bosses

The Lost completely finished hard mode.

Both paths in one day? Damn that's impressive (and a little lucky)

 

[Quivorir]

Sonic run sounds pretty cool.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Hopefully they fix the trophy/item achievements.

Beaten Isaac with Maggy and have the Relic in the item pool. But no unlock of trophy.

 

[caMoGFC]

Yeah the trophies are definitely bugged.

Don't particularly care about trying to get them all or anything but am easily missing about 8 that i should have.

 

[caMoGFC]

Not the most OP setup i've had but it's up there in terms of ease of overall win.

Holy mantle, Guppy early on, a heap of damage upgrades including Proptosis and it's basically impossible to lose. Also the tears look pretty sweet too.





Can't wait til the DLC!

 

[Mister Carlton]

I'd be wary around these parts about throwing the word OP around.

Still salty over the fact that you had a fairly average run and thought it was OP?

Would have thought now that you've spent more time with the game you'd realise just how crazy OP you can get...

 

[caMoGFC]

Turned the PS4 on for basically the first time in about a month and decided to have a game of Isaac and had this OP beauty with Magdalene.



The amount of damage upgrades from curse rooms and breaking rocks and mushrooms as well as taking devil deals was just ridiculous.....don't even need to fire a tear against the Lamb

One trophy off hitting Platinum. Close to hitting a wall in the game so can't wait for the new DLC content. Easily the best PS+ game to date.

NO

You can't have my SuperCoach spot now.

But you're wrong saying it's the best PS+ game. Rogue Legacy is still better, doesn't rely on lucky drops making runs OP and insta-win, a much more challenging game IMO.

If difficulty is your only measure, sure... I own about 500 games on steam, the original Isaac at the top of my playing time with over 400 hours, Rebirth with about 60. Reckon I've got about 20 in Rogue Legacy, fun game but honestly not worth replaying after you've beaten it a couple of times.

Was Spelunky a PS+ game? Reckon that's the only legitimate contender to Isaac.

 

[Mister Carlton]

You got one Premiers04.

 

[mickelboy182]

Implying he is trolling? Huh :s

 

[Premiers04]

Wait, what?

 

[Premiers04]

Not only difficulty, I find the gameplay much more satisfying.

Having to constantly be on your toes moving around and waiting for an opening to deal damage to a boss >>>>> having guppies insta kill a boss in seconds.

I think that's what makes Isaac so replayable myself, but yes it is incredibly easy at times.

Played Spelunky? Reckon you'll love it, should you give it some time. Talk about having to be on your toes.

Yeah, i personally play games for fun and Isaac is in a league of its own in that regard for me.

I'm also relatively time poor nowadays with my first child being born a few months back so Isaac is the perfect pick up and play type title giving me exactly what i desire in a short gaming session since i no longer have 5 hours a night to play online in a cod or a battlefield like i did pre-child.

Isaac is easily the best ps+ title released so far imo. Bring on the DLC!

 

[Mister Carlton]

Completed the lost runs again on hard because items didn't unlock. That boss rush was the worst.

How many hours you put into it now Alex?

Considering finally giving it a decent go to see what the fuss is about, still have it installed on the Vita. Kids only sleep 10-11 hours a night now so dont have those few hours extra, like when they were under 1 (1 y.o. son still gets a good 3hr arvo nap).

How long can the good runs go for? Battlefield Hardline rounds can be over in under 5 minutes so I find that's probably the easiest pick up and play game outside of Rogue Legacy at the moment for time restricted parent gamers.

Had a 4:23 min game of heist today wtf. Still think it's better than this.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Probably my most played game on Ps4. Couldn't log exactly the amount of time. Plus I've done two save files.

Depends how much time you sink on each floor. Plus the random pick ups. No rush really, love exploring every room and the secret rooms.

Able boot up save file at the point you left off. I'm shocked at how many people refused to download or play game.

Next years SuperCoach off the table now. I'll teach you.
