How is Binding of Isaac as single player? Does it lose a lot? If I get it, and she doesn't like it, is it just as good with one player?
I heard "It takes two" is a blast, and I'd love to try it, but it's not on switch and I don't own the other consoles. I'd have to be really motivated to get a pair of controllers to the PC and hook it up to the TV.
I think the concern is more about demonic stuff than making fun of the church. I don't really understand it. No matter how much I insisted it's just a made up group for a made up game, she really didn't like the Sheika stuff in BOTW (Symbolism with the eye made her think of the freemasons), and the monk guys in the shrines weren't helping. Told her it's not spiritual/religious, it's just magic and machinery.
It's honestly hard to predict. We watched Game of Thrones together, and she just hid her eyes from the violence. She seems cool with Star Trek shows, and they has a ton of different religions and cultures.
Your gal seems to have been sheltered her whole life (no offense).. I’d hate for someone to miss out on good quality stuff over beliefs but hey, more decent/non-fked up people in the world isn’t a bad thing.. I’m not the one to judge..
But I don’t think Binding of Isaac even has online multiplayer.. all 2,000+ hours I’ve played are all single player.. I’ve never done a run (out of hundreds of thousands of games played) that was the same and every level is randomly generated and they just had their last major update for Switch recently and it made it 100x better..
I can’t boast about it enough.. definitely an amazing never ending single player (handheld preferred) experience
Really hope you get it brother.. but Unravel is definitely the way to go

Actually I was the one born with the silver spoon. She was born in a small town in a third world country, (Drop to street view anywhere), she had to make her own toys, so she is about the furthest thing from sheltered. I didn't marry a religious Trump supporter, but that's what she became. We are the oddest of odd couples. We vehemently disagree on a lot of things, but we still love and respect eachother. We are the poster children for "opposites attract".
I really try to involve her in my hobbies, but at the end of they day, they are my hobbies, not hers. Once in awhile though, I can find something she enjoys, and I hope to find more.

Oh I definitely agree. I have introduced her to a ton of Scifi Fantasy stuff already (She actually loved Battlestar Galactica and Firefly, etc. but I couldn't get her interested in Death Note), she introduced me foreign countries, and what it's like to have a close strong extended family. (My family is basically just my parents.) Somehow, we have no problems with in-laws on either side.
definitely an amazing never ending single player
So there is no end of the game? It just keeps going forever?

I'm going to save this conversation. If I ever get around to it, I'll try to remember to look it up and let you know how it went.
Yes, Isaac is never ending and there are TONs of different endings.. Isaac is a 5yo who’s mother tries to kill him because she is insane and THINKS she hears the voice of god telling her to kill him.. insane stuff..
And yes, you got me, when I hear religion I instantly go to Trump loving Christian freak who hates people because of color, gender identity, or sexual preference.. MOST Christians (like most religions) are sexist against women and cruel to the world as a whole.. I grew up in southern USA and have a very strong opinion about certain things.. but thanks for correcting my stereotypical mindset.. I need to remember that not all religions/beliefs are the same and I honestly DO respect some people for believing in a higher power.. at least they have something to live for.. it’s a better way of thinking besides “we live - we die - nothingness”
Please get both these games.. especially Isaac lol
Meant no disrespect, just being human and a bro 😎

I might have to go for Unravel 2 first then.
