* Deals with the devil are your friend but think hard before taking them, especially if you're just starting out. If you're new to the game, the health could be worth hanging on to.

* You may have figured some (or most) of this out after 20 hours, but heres a few things for Binding of Issac: Rebirth (I dont have the afterbirth expansion because it still isnt out on PS4). I am far from a master of this game, but I've played it a shitload.

* The main helpful "hidden" thing is knowing that the secret room is connected to multiple rooms, all of which must give possible access (eg the wall joined to the secret room cant be blocked by rocks or whatever). Its usually 3 rooms, if not then 4, if not 3 or 4 then 2. This can be very handy if one of those rooms is a treasure room/shop and you have lots of bombs and no keys.

* On that note, donating to the donation machine unlocks a few good items (the candles). Do not donate over 999 coins, 999 coins in the machine is the last unlock, putting in one more resets it to 0. If you dont reset it you can always bomb it to get coins out (note the number on the machine goes down by more than the coins you get if you do this).

* Try the Challenges, they vary from fun to unbearable shit, but they are all beatable and some let you practise with item interactions you wouldnt have necessarily seen otherwise. In some cases I beat them by using a dice room to reroll the manditory items into some crazy overpowered build or by transforming into Guppy, but it still counts.

* Worth mentioning I suppose; If you havent seen it already, a Guppy transformation is achieved by picking up 3 "guppy" items in one playthrough. They are the Dead Cat, Guppys Head, Guppys Paw, Guppys hairball, Guppys Tail, and Guppys Collar. As guppy you can fly and hits on enemies generate blue flies. There is also a "Lord of the Flies" transformation for getting 3 fly items but it isnt nearly as good. If you can be guppy, you should be guppy. Taking an early Dead Cat is hellish if you are a new player but with practice having one heart isnt a big deal.

* Isaac is absolutely not a game where you need to pick up every item you see. if you like what you currently have, you dont need to pick up something that replaces it.

* "Soy Milk" is fucking terrible 99% of the time. Opinion is divided whether thats a bug or deliberate. Either way its probably not getting fixed. It increases your RoF while dropping your damage, but the 2 arent equal so even if you hit with every tear your dps is worse than it was without it.
