The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is one of the most addictive roguelikes we've ever played. It's the kind of game that might appear a bit rudimentary at first, but it becomes more and more compelling with each subsequent session.
It's also worth noting that this is the second piece of software that's exclusive to the New 3DS, so if you're itching to get some use out of the thing, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is your only other option after Xenoblade. And honestly, there are times where the game chugs a little--you can watch the hardware rolling dice and calculating totals. It's not a problem, though, and I think it's more funny than anything.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth‘s pixel perfect visuals are somewhat chilling in their blood-soaked design, but the aesthetic and accompanying soundscape suit the horrifying surroundings in which Isaac finds himself. It may have inadvertently taken longer than expected, but The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth makes a welcome arrival on the Nintendo eShop. Those that can withstand the somewhat grim setting will find a particularly rewarding experience that will ensnare you for hours on end.
