    Half the price it originally was, but now twice as good – this third person take on Metroid Prime has been remastered into the game it always should have been.

Cela permet de révéler toute la richesse en offrant aux joueurs un jeu plein de contenu, aux **** oignons dans ses phases de plateformes et avec un très bon ressenti dans les affrontements. Sans être aucunement un jeu de l'année ou quoi que ce soit dans ce genre, Recore Definitive Edition possède un prix imbattable pour une qualité assez rare, avec désormais la finition pour lui et ses qualités évidentes, il devient un immanquable pour tous les possesseurs de Xbox One. Cerise sur le gâteau : il sera un jeu Xbox One enhanced à la sortie de celle-ci. Une petite tuerie. Expand

Although quite different if you scratch a bit deeper, ReCore is just as enjoyable and rewarding as HZD. All it lacks is bit of spit and polish to match HZD's outstanding quality. For example:

    • sometimes, when extracting a core, you can see beneath the ground
    • here and there, there are straight white lines in the environment where the polygons don't quite meet
    • at one point, my gun stopped working altogether and needed a restart to fix it (although I managed to defeat the enemy Corebots by dodging and dashing and commanding my companion Corebots, which was gratifying)
    • autosave, though mainly excellent, can occasionally be a bit arbitrary, meaning you respawn either in the midst of a bunch of invulnerable skull Corebots or absolutely miles away from where you want to be.

    It does surpass HZD in one department, however: where HZD is crazily easy even on its hardest setting (except the Frozen Wilds training ground), ReCore offers a decent (but by no means impossible) challenge, especially in the Dark Tower, which gives you a better sense of achievement when you meet it.

    ReCore also has a wide variety of dungeon challenges and having to return to them to complete them after upgrading your equipment or crew is never a chore. Being able to swap cores between frames is really neat and helps a lot in levelling up your companions. Its inventory management is ok – somewhere nearer to Nier: Automata's chipset experimentation than HZD's rudimentary crafting. It's fun when you have the items you need and disappointing (in a good way, because you're invested) when you don't and the focus shifts from extracting cores to needing to go out and get more stuff by killing Corebots. The grind is actually pretty enjoyable, as it is with HZD and N:A.

    Both of those games offer great value for money, even at full price (and they're often on offer) but the payback from ReCore is just stupendous. I don't understand why it's so cheap but I guess it has something to do with Sony's dominance over Microsoft in the exclusive titles battle. There's so much to do in ReCore, and so much in it that is sheer joy, that, despite comparing very favourably with HZD and N:A, I think it's just a cracking game in its own right.

The Definitive Edition is actually a free update that makes the game live up to its original promise. While still not a great title, the upgraded version of "Recore" is a real pleasure. It recalls previous gen releases such as "Mega Man Legends" and "Metroid Prime". Any fan of action-adventure games from the late 90's and early 2000's will find this to be a real gem. As another reviewer posted, this plays like an early GameCube or PlayStation 2 game. I would rate it with a 7.7 out of 10. Expand

I spent a little more than 5 hours and i wont say that i regret it, but i think i would've preferred doing something else. Pretty repetitive, lonely and empty world. Not many things to do.

    No puedo decir muchas cosas sobre este juego porque sinceramente fue uno de los juegos más aburridos que he jugado en mi vida. Estuve un poco más de 5 horas y no diré que me arrepiento, pero creo que hubiera preferido hacer otra cosa. Un mundo bastante repetitivo, solitario y vacío. No hay muchas cosas que hacer. Gráficamente se ve muy bien, aunque no recomendaría jugar a este juego.
