The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Reviews
This game features a wide amount of content and a very challenging gameplay which is certain to keep players busy for some time. However, it's very difficult to understand why this game is exclusively released on the eShop of the New 3DS, as its visual environment does not seem to justify this decision.

As an enhanced and "embellished" remake, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth can be said to be a fully successful operation and this also applies to those who have already spent tens (if not hundreds) of hours with the original version of three years ago and the expansion of 2012.

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.
Given it's much broader of content than the original and still packed with surprises I've yet to uncover, let alone master, Rebirth very much lives up to its name. I do feel it makes some stylistic misfires that let the side down, but perhaps that doesn't matter. Just one more go. Damned forever.
Adding a new type of room doesn't sound like a very big change for a game, but it adds so much variety that Rebirth honestly feels like a new game, and not just The Binding of Isaac: Now With More Items. For that reason, we strongly recommend this game even if you already have the original version, though as we noted already, the tone and content of this game isn't for everyone.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is not just a treat for existing fans, it's an brilliant example of how to do a remake, and a fantastic game in its own right.
