Yeah the problem is that WotL both makes the game harder and introduces a slew of items that are terrible. WotL adds some really, really awesome powerups but also adds a bunch of stuff that's hot garbage (Pageant Boy and The Box really come to mind)
The Box is good though.

I never thought I'd say this, but the Magician Card was just incredibly helpful for me. It plus brimstone made the post-mom boss rush trivial.

Ok why is the music so bad? Its like they looked at the uptempo awesomeness of the first game and said you know what gently caress that heres some silent hill music instead. Loving the game but gently caress I just started to listen to the originals music instead.
To offer a different perspective, I was never really into the music of the original but I loving love this OST. Especially the tracks with lots of harsh noise like the Mom's heart music.

You just press space+a direction and isaac leaps that way, really quickly. Goes over holes(and I think enemies, although I'm pretty sure shots still hit you) and there's no charge-you can use it whenever you want. Makes backtracking very quick.

Found a combo where I actually like My Reflection: reflection+antigravity tears+coal.(ideally with high rate of fire)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh7UJh9Rzxo

Really really fun to use. Also can do a whole lot of damage.
It handles weirdly because where you sling bullets depends on what you pressed when you spawned them, not when you release them, so if you start holding down left, then switch to holding down right before releasing, most of the bullets will still slingshot left. So you need to know which way you're gonna be lobbing them beforehand.

Oh gently caress me. Was playing ???, early on did a deal for Juda's Shadow and killed myself to respawn for the boosted damage. Apparently respawning as the little shadow dude means you actually count as Judas instead from that point on, so now I have cathedral/chest cleared on Judas without actually doing that and I'll need to do it again on ???.

Apparently to unlock the real final boss you need to bomb two Angels and collect 2 halves of a key. Then you bring it to the chest to fight the boss. The boss is Mega Satan and the fight sounds nuts.

And specifically the ambience for caves and depths is just annoying and I miss the goofy 8 bit unicorn invincibility theme.
None of the music in the original ever seemed that good to me, but that third one actually gets on my nerves. The synth is so annoyingly high-pitched.

Azazel is really interesting, but how viable it is depends on what you get in the long run. Having to get that close to mom's heart or something is a death sentence.
This is so very not true that I had to go and record something to demonstrate

Video is me playing as Azazel, picking up no items at all along the way, just consumables, and still beating Mom's Heart without much trouble(minus some weird glitch where a summon gets stuck in a corner). Fight is at 21:34

Up to a 3 win streak now because my Eve run gave me a dark bum which basically wins the game for her. I still suck though. Went into heart room with a full health bar, came out with one heart left. There's just so much poo poo going on that I can't figure out an actual strategy for it other than spray and pray. I still haven't unlocked Sampson too.
You just gotta look for holes in the patterns. Don't be afraid to back off out of where you can shoot it from in order to dodge, avoiding the shots is more worthwhile than getting in a little extra damage at the expense of health.
The tricky pattern is this one, but once you get the timing down it's not so bad. Basically when one bullet moves forward, it makes a larger gap to move through before the one behind it also accelerates slightly after.(also keep in mind they're basically all easier to dodge farther away from the heart because they spread out more.)

Uggggggh, the one thing I dislike about this game is due to its RNG nature, you can end up with a really boring, dull run where you get no familiars, no big damage items, no orbitals and just bang your head against the wall until you run out of health pickups. Pretty Fly is by far the best endgame item because it makes the tough bosses at the end not a damage race. Because if it is, they will win.
Not if you get good at dodging their patterns. It's not like isaac/??? attack primarily through highly unpredictable, RoF punishing revenge bullets anymore.
Not to say that orbitals aren't great, because they very much are.
