The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is now available on the “New” 3DS (Note: It won’t play on a 2DS or an older 3DS), Wii U, and Xbox One. It was previously available on Steam (PC, Linux, OSX), PlayStation 4, and PS Vita, but Nintendo and Xbox players can rejoice in the fun that is The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
Personally, I find the game to be dark and a bit grotesque at points, but that’s kind of the entire point of the game. The game plays a lot like the original Zelda, and takes notes in regards to level design. This game is expansive and has tons of replayability. Bosses are tough, enemies are plentiful, but there are a variety of powerups and boosters you can collect as you play through to help you on your way.
Strangely Compelling Media saved me the trouble and compiled the amazing list of features this game has. See below:

It’s available for $14.99 (“New” 3DS and Xbox One) and given that it’s available (now) on almost every gaming device you have zero excuses.
