    What started as something engaging with plenty of character quickly became repetitive and frustrating. Some more variety in enemies or weapons would have been very welcome here as well as some improved pc controls. The loading times and poor performance also hold this title back from being something special. Ultimately there's nothing here that hasn't been done better before in other gamesWhat started as something engaging with plenty of character quickly became repetitive and frustrating.

    Recore starts well with a good mystery to solve and an entertaining gameplay. After the first hour, you start to realize that it makes little sense to waste time fighting and you start to accelerate to complete the story. But the game seems to hate, like many others who advances too fast and the solution are the power cores.

After the first hour, you start to realize that it makes little sense to waste time fighting and you start to accelerate to complete the story. But the game seems to hate, like many others who advances too fast and the solution are the power cores. Basically, the game forces you to collect a minimum of 45 of these cores to complete the story. While this is not a problem, given the repetitive combat, this task becomes quite heavy. The reward after having gone through the ordeal is a disappointing end (not bad).

    Good atmosphere, great idea for the plot but not as well executed as I expected, quickly repetitive gameplay, change the parts to your robots is very easily forgotten after try it and enhance them with the colored cores (red, blue, yellow, etc), happen to focus on one of the robots and nothing more.    … Expand

    Stay away from this garbage at all costs!

    Cons: * Serious performance issues with stuttering and freezes even on systems better than recommended. * Graphics ranging from awesome to utter garbage (very inconsistent) * If you die during a puzzle you often re-spawn in bad spots just to instantly die again. * You are constantly forced to backtrack to find "optional" cores in order to    Stay away from this garbage at all costs!

    Cons:

    * Serious performance issues with stuttering and freezes even on systems better than recommended.
    * Graphics ranging from awesome to utter garbage (very inconsistent)
    * If you die during a puzzle you often re-spawn in bad spots just to instantly die again.
    * You are constantly forced to backtrack to find "optional" cores in order to progress the main story.
    * Glitches, glitches glitches. Ranging from screen flicker during loading screens to models popping in/out to animation issues and missing sounds and beyond. I'm surprised how it made it through certification in its current state as you literary can't play 10 minutes without encountering some (often graphical) glitch.

    Pros:

    * The "grappling-hook" mechanic is cool.

    Verdict:

    Cool idea but extremely poorly executed. 4/10.    … Expand

    I can't say much about this game. It doesn't have any bugs or problems but on the other hand it doesn't have anything that would make this game distinct from the others.

    Eu realmente tentei jogar esse jogo. Duas vezes.

    Consegui "embalar" da segunda vez, mas mesmo assim o jogo se torna um pouco repetitivo pela mecanica que não nos possibilita nada que realmente ofereça uma evolução. A unica maneira de ficar bom no jogo é upando, e não melhorando suas skills individuais, afinal, o jogo meio que lhe força a jogar com um AimAssist estilo aimbot.

    A historia me pareceu fraca e sem profundidade. Ok, essa não me parece ser a proposta do jogo, mas uma historia mediocre seria o minimo a se esperar num jogo singleplayer.
    Quase não existem personagens, e eles são bem fracos, não havendo nenhuma ligação emocional.

    O jogo é muito bem otimizado, ao menos. O que não é tão frequente em jogos exclusicos da MS.    … Expand

    Una sensación muy agridulce. Un mundo completamente vacío, y carente de sentido. Se me hizo imposible empatizar con la protagonista, y eso que su situación daba bastante lástima.

    Se lleva un 5 porque me ha recordado al gameplay de Jak 3 y de Ratchet & Clank de PS2.

    The biggest obstacle on ReCore’s path to greatness is the uneven pacing of the campaign. First couple of hours, when the game gradually unveils its secrets, are almost perfect, but then it becomes unnecessarily hard and the story gets watered down too much. [12/2016, p.44]

    For all of its missteps, it's hard to get too angry at ReCore. The platforming and combat are so good that it's hard not wishing a better game surrounded them. For those with a fair amount of patience, it's worth playing just to see the strongest aspects. For everyone else, it's best to just shake your head, move on, and wonder what could have been.

    Starts with so much promise, but eventually becomes an experience as barren as the desert it's set in. [Issue#256, p.61]
