Didn't see a topic on this and since most of the people on my friends list are playing it I figured a thread would be fun.

I started a brand new game (and avoiding all the bugs related to importing a save funnily enough) mostly because I hadn't played the game since November of last year. When Rebirth came out I played the hell out of it for a good two weeks or so and was legitimately in the top percentile of players (Checked achievements like a lamer...) but for whatever reason I burned out. My skills have gone to shit so I figured a restart would work better.

So far the expansion has been an absolute blast to play, if a little frustrating at times. Isaac's largely a game of dodging and pattern recognition, so early on with all the new enemies it becomes hard to dodge them. One enemy I absolutely hate is the black silkworms/chargers. Whet they die they fire shots in the diagonal directions which really messes with my dodging. I instinctively dodge to the diagonals to avoid shots which puts me in their line of fire.

Haven't unlocked Sheol yet, so I don't know what horrors are there and beyond. I did encounter Ultra Greed (In Greed mode) and the new secret boss, both of which are nightmares to fight.

Also not a big fan of the new puzzle rooms. They're a neat distraction but some of them are really hard to do without getting hurt at all.

Anyone else playing and have thoughts?
