Somehow I missed that a new Binding of Isaac expansion came out. Guess I figured it would never come to console. Grabbed that up.

Seems like they redid some sound effects to be more noticeable, but I'm not really a fan of it. The sound effect of a lightning projectile being fired went from a small quiet clap to a half-second sound of electricity arcing, and that gets tiring to hear when you get one of several items that fires lightning. Similarly, anything that touches a flame makes a sizzling sound, and that can get annoying when you get an item that spawns flames.

Also, I've spent the past couple of hours trying one challenge called Backasswards. It spawns you at an endgame boss with several powerups and heart containers. The frustrating thing aside from hoping you spawn with a good item combo is that the minibosses that get summoned are fully capable of getting several cheap shots in on you. Some of them move fast, some love to spam homing bombs, some fire projectiles that blend in with all the other shit going on (even with high projectile visibility), and you usually spawn with normal or slightly lowered movement speed. The one I hate most is Ultra Lust, who moves fast and leaves behind a damaging blood trail that blends in with the blood of the previous things you've killed by that point. It's even worse if you spawn with an item that leaves behind its own blood trail.

This challenge is nothing but a headache, and there had better not be a really good item unlock behind it, because I'm likely just going to give up.
