* The Godhead. When picked up, it gives Isaac homing tears with a huge damaging aura around them that straight-up melts most enemies. Even just unlocking it counts as an awesome moment in and of itself, as this requires beating ''every main boss in the game'' with the Lost, and if you installed any of the [=DLCs=], you have to beat ''their'' bosses with said character as well, making it more or less the ultimate BraggingRightsReward.

*** Alternatively, Isaac is fighting a [[CorruptChurch corrupted version of faith]] in [[TheFundamentalist Dogma]] with a [[SaintlyChurch more pure version of faith]] and is able to find [[TitleDrop redemption]] as a result upon slaying The Beast. Whether that comes in the form of [[PeacefulInDeath finding peace in death]], [[WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath ascending to Heaven]], [[AndYourRewardIsInfancy getting a second chance at life]], or even simply [[AllJustADream starting a new story with his father]], he's finally broken free of the cycle of self-hatred he was trapped in.

As one NintendoHard roguelike on the level of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', ''VideoGame/SuperMeatBoy'' and ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'', '''FOURTEEN''' final bosses that will make you cry tears of joy while you beat them, and 10 years of new content, ''The Binding Of Isaac'' is full of SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments, both in story and by YOU, the experienced player.

** When discounting previously-existing content from Rebirth and its existing [=DLCs=], the new content is as follows: 169 new items, 234 new achievements, 61 new trinkets, 126 new enemies, 31 new bosses, 52 new tracks, 9 new challenges ,2+ new characters.

(You have to beat Hush 3 times just to access the alternate route, as opposed to beating the three new bosses found on normal floors in ''Antibirth'', so its harder to access than Delirium.)

* The very fact that, thanks to Repentance, this game managed to get a happy ending is awesome in of itself. It wasn't just a DyingDream, it was just Isaac creating his own bedtime story that the father was telling. The father also gets one for being completely calm [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior about Isaac's twisted and dark story]] and instead offering to tell him a story with a happy ending. Also doubles as a huge [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heart melting moment]].
* And after waiting for 10 years, enduring all the NintendoHard trials and tribulations, beating all the bosses with all 34 characters, collecting all 716 items, doing all 44 challenges, and repeating it on 2 other save files, is there a more beautiful sight than [[spoiler: seeing [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fif2scv.png a triptych depicting an infinity symbol formed by Isaac and various monsters]]]]? Spoiler alert: [[spoiler: there really, really, really isn't]].
** The title screen even tells you to "[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unknown_1_55.png STOP PLAYING!]]" instead of "PRESS START" once this happens. For the love of God, do it and go outside --- you're a ultimate superfan and master of ''Isaac''!

* The expansion itself is a huge one for the ''Antibirth'' team, who created a mod so awesome that Edmund McMillen himself not only endorsed it, but hired the team to make it canon!
