Overall it is a well-written article, but sourcing seems to be inadequate. The reception section needs some more work, but overall the article is in a relatively good shape. I will left the article on hold for a week. When all the issues are addressed it will be good to go!   AdrianGamer (talk) 03:54, 24 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I will try to get to these over the next few days but a few points:
  • I have no idea why that Wired article speaks of different classes because that never existed in the game.
  • Keep in mind that The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is considered a separate game with its own article. While I will source that paragraph more, this is important as some of the added sources you put are for Rebirth and not this game and don't give new info on this game. To that same end, the DLC for this game should be quoted as "Wrath of the Lamb" rather than italized as if a new game. --MASEM (t) 14:14, 24 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
@AdrianGamer: I still need to see about trying to expand the reception but if you want to take a look, I have done pretty much everything else on the list. I did figure out what the Wired article was going on with the classes so fixed that up, and incorporated a few of the additional sources. --MASEM (t) 00:18, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
@AdrianGamer: Just an FYI, I got caught up in other life stuff and will likely not be able to get to expanding the reception out a bit until early next week. I still plan to do this, just that can't do a fair job over the next few days. --MASEM (t) 14:15, 27 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
No worries, take your time. AdrianGamer (talk) 14:42, 27 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
@AdrianGamer: I've gotten the reception section expanded out now, that should be it. --MASEM (t) 16:07, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
The game was also nominated for an award.[1] I also found another source about the game's music. It may have some valuable information.[2] There is a retail edition as well.[3] Would be great if you can add these information into the article as well. AdrianGamer (talk) 06:30, 10 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
I've added all three pieces as well as bit from the ArsTech source above. --MASEM (t) 15:57, 10 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
As all the issues were fixed, the article is good to go! The Binding of Isaac is now a  . Congratulations! AdrianGamer (talk) 12:35, 11 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
