    Really though, it’s The Binding of Isaac on your phone. That’s awesome. If you’ve had your fill with any of the other versions on almost every other video game platform imaginable, then you probably don’t need to check this one out — but otherwise, it’s definitely a good time.

    No game will give you more to find and discover than The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will. This could conceivably be the only game you play for the rest of the year, considering how much time you'd have to spend to be good at the game, and then unlocking everything there is to see in Rebirth. And it's a ton of fun along the way. It took a long time to get here, but enjoy this one, folks.

    I highly recommend picking up The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth if you have never played the game before or just can’t get enough Isaac in your life, since this port contains a ton of new stuff.

    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.

    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 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.

    S tier game. The great part about roguelike games is that when you die, you start over and the only thing you bring with you is the lesson you learn when you die. However, in this game, every rebirth feels different and every run gives you different end results. I just don't know where to start for this game but if you're into spending thousands of hours collecting achievements and playing and love dark humor, then this game is perfect for you.
