The time I’ve spent with Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has been non-stop fun and surprises, with just a tad too much frustration when I lose a rare item. Adding a support character come with some risk, since it sacrifices one of your hearts, but I’ve seen it pay off with OP item combinations that can help two players breeze through dungeon rooms. The default settings are fine, but you can remap every button action to fit your playstyle. Since the Switch can quickly detect additional controllers, it is easy to add up to three more players for drop-in co-op, and co-op works great with the individual Joy-Con controllers turned sideways. The mystery surrounding items makes for an addictive game of chance that will constantly throw you curveballs, and never feels predictable.Īfterbirth+ on Nintendo Switch runs at 60 frames per second on both the TV and the handheld screen. It’s a satisfying dice roll and, after enough experimentation, you start to learn what special items are effective and what to avoid. I can’t tell you how many times I held my breath as I pulled the trigger just see if a special item would help or hurt my run.

But, after every player death, failure, and missed jump, the game will gently remind the player to "Keep going. She'll be a constant source of doubt throughout the duration of the game. During the more challenging parts of the game, this other self will appear to taunt, belittle, and even chase Madeline around telling her she's not good enough, and she'll never reach the top. A part of ourselves many of us are all too familiar with. As Madeline sets out to scale to the top of the mountain, she will encounter a lot of depression, anxiety and self-doubt along the way, which literally manifests into an alternative version of herself simply called "Part of Me". The theme of overcoming anxiety and depression is tied into the gameplay The game reinforces the attitude of never giving up, even in the face of a seemingly impossible challenge or self-doubt, and does this by tying this heartfelt theme into the gameplay itself.
