Now to the game:
It seems small at first sight but then.. wow!
The game itself is hard to be honest. I would call myself a hardcore gamer and still I find myself losing several times due to heavy monster situations/my equipment not being best for the situation. So for a very casual gamer this game might turn out to be frustrating due to its difficulty. As long as you can deal with the "trial&error" way you will find it entertaining like I did.
It's all about exploring the dark world which this game belongs to and discovering every possible secret to help you on your torture journey. And hell yes, there are ALOT of secrets to discover and that is where the game shines. Find your stuff, mix up your stuff and try your best to make it till the final encounter.. or play one of the many special additional challenges.
I am very happy to finally see this title on the switch.
It plays perfectly fine in all modes and I feel comfortable while controlling lil Isaac. A perfect game for the new Nintendo Switch.
So.. long story short:
If you are looking for a challenge that mixes kinda retro design with a darkish theme and may entertain you for hours of collecting new stuff - grab that game :)
Now to the actual game. BOI on the Switch includes the base game and also the two DLCs. If you bought this on Steam the price would be $35 compared to the Switch's price of $40 for the same content. The difference being is that the Switch offers portable play which I would rather have. You also get a physical copy that you can resell if you grow tired of the game (but I doubt you will). The game itself is a lot of fun and can be played for a small gaming session or for hours on end. You also have the option of multiplayer with up to 4 players. I would recommend this over the steam version because it is nice to have a portable version of the game to play if you're waiting for your car to get fixed or any small wait times.

The game itself is quite difficult, particularly given the fact that it generates a new game world each and every time, so you may not get access to particularly helpful items with each new instance. With that said, this is the type of game where you do get a little better each time out. It's the perfect game for both quick and longer sessions, which kind of speaks to the Switch's own flexibility. I highly recommend it.
It's solid and wonderful to play. There are so many items, some better than others, which make the item combination almost endless. To add to that, there are a lot of mostly unique characters to play as. This game will provide hours of fun IF you like unlocking things, experimenting, and exploring.
The reason the game doesn't get a perfect is because on the Switch version there is no quick reset and there are frame rate issues that can happen when there's a lot on the screen and/or the game has to do calculations for your projectiles. Also, if the game had a UI slider to make certain things smaller, like the stats and recent items, it would make it an even better game.

The Binding of Isaac no debe ser juzgado por su pinta, este es un juego con un nivel de profundidad digna de ser jugada, y vista.
Para aquellos que no están familiarizados con el juego yo usualmente lo describo como "un juego en el que juegas varios calabozos consecutivos tipo Zelda con una cantidad de enemigos, ítems, jefes y logros que terminará consumiendo varias horas de tu vida".
