    Deadcore is a suprenant game, with fast gameplay and a good level design. It only lacks more variety.

    You have to have some interest in speedruns and an affinity for dexterity games from the first-person perspective with a Quake-like pace. Then you might love it, even though you still have to look past an overly obscure level-design.

The casual playerA sparse checkpoint system combined with NO ability to select difficulty equals a game that is more frustrating than fun. The casual player won't have the time or patience to replay levels over and over ad nauseum. It's a nice idea ruined by poor execution. Full Review »

It might even be so hard that certain players will simply drop off, but if you are not afraid of insanely complicated puzzles you have to give this a try.

    A lot of skill, fast reflexes and quick maneuvering are keys to solve the riddle throughout its 5 levels. If it just had a few more checkpoints so it wasn't unbearably punishing then it would have been a 9 or 10, but I feel that it solidly earns a well deserved 8/10.

    DeadCore is a skill based game like we don't see enough, made by an indie game studio with lots of passion! When you've finished a levelDeadCore is a skill based game like we don't see enough, made by an indie game studio with lots of passion! When you've finished a level you'll want to play it again just to beat your time. The game is visually stylish. If you liked Portal, Mirror's Edge and indie games in general, you're gonna like it! 10/10, this game deserves encouragements! Full Review »
