    Recompile brings a lot of great ideas to the table, but none of them work well together in their implementation. While it presents an interesting story, you’d have to wade through the immensely frustrating gameplay to get there.

    As a low-key next-gen indie, Recompile looks and sounds the part, really making you feel like you’re a program exploring and hacking the innards of a long-forgotten computer mainframe. Yet while it has what you should expect from any decent Metroidvania while filtering them through its hacking theme, frustrating platforming, rubbish combat, and other questionable design decisions all add up to make for a disappointing experience.
