    Whatever platform you play this on, ReCore is not a particularly stunning game. This desert isn't glittering with cool particle effects, and while you might expect laser-blasting robots to be smothered in cool lighting or metal-shimmering effects, you won't see those here. Everything from level geometry to texture quality to facial animation looks more like a high-end Xbox 360 game than a proper Xbox One title; the only exception, really, is that draw distances on New Eden stretch pretty far.

    I began ReCore having a marvelous time. By the end, I had begun to resent it. It wasn’t that I felt rushed; I allowed myself extra days to play. It was just that the game is such a heart-sinker. It was created by people whose work I’ve greatly respected, but ReCore just doesn’t feel ready for all of us to be playing it.

    Like its robots, whose identities can be transplanted into any number of mechanical bodies, ReCore is an old soul in a new frame. This is a game in a classical mold that’s been shunted into 2016 and forced to assimilate. When left to the traditional sensibilities at its heart, it’s a powerfully refreshing throwback, but that spirit has taken up residence in a modern body so decrepit and covered in ineffectual accessories that its failings dampen the goodwill it earns otherwise.

    Although ReCore has its share of graphical issues it is fun to play and the Metroid / Megaman influences are very apparent. If you likeAlthough ReCore has its share of graphical issues it is fun to play and the Metroid / Megaman influences are very apparent. If you like traveling between maps, dungeons, an over-world, collecting loot, leveling up, and fast paced combat then you will definitely love ReCore. This game has "future franchise" written all over it. ... let's just hope that Microsoft will listen and let the fans decide instead media outlets that place a lot weight on graphics over game play!

    I guarantee you that the low scores will be from playstation players (like VermilionPrime .. check their review history) that want to see this game fail. Do yourself a favor and try this game for yourself.    … Full Review »

    ReCore is a game that brings back some good classic ideas, implements some really well, some just well, and some kind of mediocre.
    However it lets itself down with load times and technical hiccups.

    The game is never amazing, but it is never awful either. If they fix the technical side a bit I might be tempted to give it an 8. Equally I feel it kind of deserves a 6 for their technical mistakes. But overall given its less than premium price a 7 seems a fair score.

    If you are still not sure, wait a few weeks, they'll probably have fixed the tech side and you can enjoy the game as it should have been released.    … Full Review »
