Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you have a Switch, this is definitely a game to consider adding to your collection. It's crude, funny, and fun. Every time you play, you can expect new and challenging levels. Hours and hours of gameplay.

So if you don't know what a roguelike is, it's a game that's based on the premise of an old game called Rogue in which you lose all progress when you die. The excitement of a roguelike is that "one more run" gameplay, and the hallmark of a great roguelike is when you keep wanting to do one more run. The Binding of Issac is one of the best roguelikes I've played in years—probably since I played it on PC like 5 years ago. And like the best modern games in its genre, you unlock a bit more stuff to see, characters to play as, game mechanics each time you play through. You'll see stuff maybe once in a hundred games, and that's pretty impressive. The premise might be a bit off-putting, and there's a lot of 16-bit-esque violence and feces, but if you're down with religious extremism and that other stuff, you'll be okay.

I bought this so I'd have a second Switch game to take a break from playing Zelda. Instead, I found myself only playing this game and leaving Zelda to fend for herself. Cannot recommend this product enough.

This is probably the strangest game I've ever played. It does have really good replay value though. You just never really know what you will get with this game. Well, except for poo, lots and lots of poo.

Difficult game, but very rewarding when you accomplish something.

This game is very challenging. But don't let that stop you! It also has a certain element of fun to it as well! It feels a lot like the original Zelda but modernized and much darker. If you can catch this for a good price, it's worth it!

This game is equally as incentive as it is numerous. The game play is simple, yet so refined one could easily master the controls after a long game session. Make sure you have the Switch Pro Controller.

A great way to spend a bit of time on the Switch. Bought BoI on the WiiU and didn't end up playing it much. On the Switch I've been much more likely to play it when I had a bit of free time. I like it.

This is a fun game with some quirks. The game auto generates levels so even after you beat the game, there is still plenty of replayability. I would definitely recommend to anyone who owns a switch.

At first this game is kinda hard to control but after a while you get used to it. I love this game and have played it nonstop since purchase. It is almost a replica from the PC version.

I bought this for a 16 year old to play on his Nintendo Switch and he was soooo excited!!!!! This is definitely one of his most favorite games for the Nintendo Switch!!!!!! A great gift to give!!!!!

I've played Binding of Isaac before and couldn't really get into it. With all new console launches, there is going to be a bit of a dry spell after the first wave of games hit (Zelda... and not much else). I figured that I'd give Binding of Isaac another shot because it had fantastic reviews. Clearly there was something I was missing, right? Anyway, I pop the cartridge in and give it a chance. Amazing. The game is addictive, loads of fun, lots to unlock, many different modes, and challenging! This is one of the "easy to play tough to master" types of games. I would say it is well worth the MSRP and if you're a GCU member even better! This is a great stop-gap until Mario Kart 8 arrives.

Still one of the best rogue like games ever made. Perfect fit for the Switch with tons of replay value. First edition includes sticks, reversible cover, and a Zelda themed booklet, totally worth it.

It is a pretty fun game. For me, buying the digital download alone wasnt worth the money, but the physical copy made it worth the price to me. I like the manual and cool stickers that come with it.

My son loves this game. I had to purchase it for the switch. He wanted for his 3ds but it's only available for download on the New 3ds. It seems to be challenging for him but so far he loves it.

I’ve played before on PS4 but it’s even more fun on the go. It’s also nice to have a physical copy rather than digital only. The game is quite fun and has hundreds of hours of playtime to offer.

a must own for switch but u have to like this sort of genre

This is a great game for the switch. Each run is pretty quick and a perfect game to be able to carry around with you. There are tons of items to use and discover. If you like this type of game it is definitely worth a look.

I find this game very fun and challenging. It's got great graphics and awesome character designs! Levels really keep you on your toes in this game and it keeps you wanting more. Highly recommend.

The Binding of Issac is a great game. Very cool art style, fun & addictive gameplay & cool audio as well. And it comes with stickers & an instruction manual!!!! So that's awesome too for a bonus.
