Packaging this game with an instruction booklet that looks identical to the original Legend of Zelda was a fantastic piece to include.
Gameplay was very creative and the variety of the dungeon maps makes this a unique experience every time you play.

Binding of Isaac is a great game for quick play or for extended sessions. You never get the same combinations twice, so it will keep you on your toes! Keep in mind that the subject matter may not be suitable for everyone!

This game is a bit creepy, however if you are looking for a game that gives much replay ability then this is the game for you. When you die the new basement respawns in a new layout, so you never play the Same game twice.

I think from now on the Switch will be my console of choice for indie titles. Having a portable and console version is fantastic.
Binding of Isaac is great for the short bursts of playtime during lunch or on the bus.

I got this after seeing all the high reviews. The game is addictive but not my style. It's really hard too. I can see where people say it has replay value but for me I'll probably never play it again.

I'm already a big fan of Binding of Isaac, and this physical version is a real delight. The manual, the stickers, even the art printed on the game card: they all celebrate the retro games that BoI draws inspiration from.

On the original Binding of Isaac Rebirth, I sunk 300+ hours into it, and I'm looking forward to spending at least that long unlocking everything again. It's a great game to pick up and play for 30-40 minutes at a time.

Binding Of Isaac is one of the creepiest and one of the weirdest games on Nintendo Switch. Travel through endless dungeons to uncover secrets and mysteries that will both frighten u and delight you

Hands down, best indie game of all time! Unlimited replayability and infinite items to create new twist on how a run will play out. Definitely really dark/sad/hilarious but the cute graphics makes up for everything!

The originally was highly acclaimed, and this complete version with an additional mode not available on other consoles yet, along with the physical goodies that accompany the Switch version, make it a worthy purchase!

The game is great for passing time. The replay value is also outstanding. Since one you beat it, it unlocks a bunch of different ways to play the game. And the game gets more difficult after every time you beat it.

I own this game on like 5 different platforms, this is the first time I have actually tried to sit down and play. I must say that it's definitely going to make you mad. But... once you beat a run, it's so satisfying.

I have over 200 hours logged in the Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ on PC, close to 300 if you count the original BoI. I have lost a little bit of interest in the game and was hoping that getting a port for my Switch might get me reinvested in the series and it did just that! It is a near flawless port, having both the option of control sticks and directional buttons helps a lot with a semi-tile based twin stick shooter of this ilk. I have not had any technical problems with this version and it has not drained my Switch's battery nearly as fast as I expected so I have to give it a really solid recommendation all around if you know you like this game. I would also say that this is a great way to get introduced to the series if you are new to it!

I love this game. This is the second time I purchased this game, first time on the PS4 but this is the preferred version since all the content is portable. If you like rogue-like game, this is the game for you.

I actually didn't think this game would get a physical release on switch. It's a good game that is fun to play in between Zelda and Mario Kart 8 later this month. Overall, This game offers a lot of replayabilty.

I find the game fun but frustrating. I die all the time, but apparently I am a sadist because I keep coming back and trying again. I have tried it on the Vita but never really got into it, but now I play it more on the Switch. It runs well.

Such a fun game!!! Still haven't beat level one after numerous hours of gameplay. Despite the difficulty all the power ups are unique and keep you coming back. Bosses are always a surprise and challenging.
