The game doesn't really make you WANT TO play it, you have to start off with the thought "i will spend 500 hours on this game", cause if you aren't hooked pre instalation then you won't be hooked after.
The reason binding of isaac is so addicting is new things. You start off the game with maybe 100 or even less items, but the game has 600 which is waiting for you to unlock. Not only that but it has masterpiece mods which are basically better than the main game and add 200 more items with more enemies and bosses.
So it's not a 'check it out' game, it's something you genuinely need to be invested in at the start or it won't work out.
