Jan 26, 2026DeadCore Redux doesn’t chase trends. It doesn’t bloat itself with systems or dilute its identity. Instead, it doubles down on what it does best: pure, demanding first-person platforming with a razor-sharp focus on movement. And all that in a very affordable package. It’s a game about learning how to navigate it, and then how to navigate it faster. When everything finally clicks, when you clear a section flawlessly, it feels incredible. Highly recommended for players who love challenge, flow, and the quiet thrill of doing something difficult well.

Jan 26, 2026With its rock-solid controls, DeadCore Redux refreshes the original game and enhances its art direction without reinventing the wheel – a compliment and a welcome display of restraint, especially considering that other studios might have been tempted to alter the gameplay in the name of a perceived need for novelty. It's up to you to decide whether an extra level and a fresh coat of paint are enough to justify another purchase, of course, but the final result is very successful, warranting a slightly higher score. If you've never played the original, even better: a little gem of a speedrun-oriented platformer awaits you.
