    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.    … Expand

It is insane that everyone hates on such an OLD SCHOOL STYLE platforming adventure such as this. The exact definition of what I'd expect in a Metroidvania game in full 3D! There are issues... many of them technical issues I'm sure could be overcome with some better coding and use of the Xbox One hardware, nonetheless, what is there is FUN! There's a great deal of LOOT to collect (some very unique and some just down right funny and cute) and the whole game has a magical feel to it similar to that of RARE LTD games such as Starfox Adventure, Banjo 1, Kameo and Conker. The Core Bots themselves animate and have personalities that makes them feel like more than just tools to help to past the next area. I actually feel a pet like connection to these awesome companions! The platforming is absolutely amazing and fully top notch... but as I'd mentioned before, the Xbox One version has a great deal of graphical issues, most of which are absent on the AWESOME PC version of this game. From time to time, landscape features might pop in and out or flicker oddly and the shadows LOD bias is not very far, so the larger shadows cast from the surrounding mountains and huge boulders sometimes looks odd and loads funny in the distance, which can take you out of the moment for a bit. Despite that, as far as pure game play mechanics, longevity and just plain fun, I cannot help but wholeheartedly recommend ReCore! This game will sit especilly well with those gamers who've spent many a long night playing games like Super Metroid, Castlevania Symphony of the Night and the many spinoff's the Castlevania series had on Gameboy's and DS's over time. Lastly, fans of Megaman and Metroid Prime will definitely see influences from their favorite franchises in this game with a bit of new magic tossed in. Regardless of the oddly simple color matching battle system, battles can become very complicated and getting high combos can become fun! Beating your own scores is something we used to do in Arcades in the 80's, so it's not hard to see why a lot of Millennials and Post-Generation X'er's simply don't get it... They are angry about the story being "awful" but these folks have never played an incomprehensible Japanese game so poorly translated that you cannot help but hysterically laugh til you pee and still have a ton of fun playing. Back in the olden days of gaming, when most games were made by Japanese game masters primarily bent on testing your absolute limits of both FRUSTRATION and PERSEVERANCE! If you are the type of gamer who gives up easily, you can look elsewhere for entertainment. Many of the harder challenges require reflexes and timing most GTA/COD/Halo only gamers (i.e. mostly kids...) simply won't appreciate. Some who really enjoy games such as Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime and even Shadow Complex (Epic Games) who want to see what it should play and look like from a 3rd person perspective, this is a great game. By no means is this a flawless gem... but it's still wonderfully fun to play and worth the price of 20-40 bux (depending on when and where you pick up your copy). I was lucky enough to get mine on sale for 20 bux on Xbox Live so I must say that it's one of the best 20 dollar games I've ever played! PLEASE MAKE SEQUELS! AGAIN, THE GAME IS THE REWARD... Some of y'all youngin's simply don't get that... (old guy rant over)… Expand

    Uno de los mejores juegos de 2016, con una jugabilidad prácticamente perfecta. Tiene fallos, como el robot que falta o una estructura de juego que podía estar mejor pensada, con algún puzle más, pero lo que hay es fantástico, exploración, plataformeo, componente RPG... Recomendadísimo para los que les gusta jugar de verdad.

    However something happens half way through the game that feels like a lead dev or designer quit. Suddenly the path through a map makes no sense and causes you to miss 90% of it and then you hit stages going up a tower that feel like they've just passed out the game making you do the same thing over and over again. Finish a floor and yep you guessed it the next ones the same as the 3 before it. Staying interested to finish becomes a challenge due to then having to grind you level up after skipping most of one of the maps earlier.    … Expand

    Now for the reason I decided to write this review. Recore has proven that the gap between grey gamers & modern gamers is huge. Recore does not have the best graphics around, it's framerate is dodgy & the textures are poor. For some people this is a disaster. They can't even bring themselves to pick up the box in the shop in case it infects them with it's low resolution-itis.

    And that's the problem because those people are missing out on a game that is so much fun that I can't put it down. It's a breath of fresh air that blows through the so called AAA games and shows that modern games can be fun and interesting.

    The graphics are fine, no issue with those and they help create a great atmosphere. it's not hyper-realistic (as you can tell from the trailers) and I think it looks great and goes well with the style of game.

    I enjoy collecting things. Each map and dungeon allows you to see your progress and how are you are along to collect all the chest, items and cores. Aside from the collecting the game play can be quite challenging and the ammo colours definitely add a new dimension to the whole situation which is great! At first it seemed a bit easy, but when enemies start resisting your current fire mode it adds a challenge.

    There are loot chests hidden all over the place to allow you to upgrade your Core bots which is pretty fun and it allows you to change how you tackle enemies based on the bot you're using.

    The music is great, repetitive, but helps set the tone of where you are or what you're doing (such as combat). Some of the pieces definitely help sell a lonely isolated feel.

    The Core bots you meet along the way are interesting and speak some unintelligible language (although there are translators out there apparently). The audio bites you pick up that are essentially voice messages of people involved on Eden are a nice way to sell the world and draw you in.

    Definitely worth while picking up if you enjoy would enjoy a third person puzzle-shooter with an interesting story.    … Expand

    Pour les présumés défauts les plus rapporté : les temps de chargement ... depuis quand est-ce que cela entre en compte pour déterminer si un jeu est bon ou non ? Non parce que si c'est un nouveau critère, il faudra revenir sur un jeu comme bloodborne, bien plus affecté par ce "problème" que Recore ! Ou bien d'autres jeux ... ici c'est simple, jamais ça ne dépasse les 45 secondes et ils sont loin d'être si fréquent que ça ... de toute façon le studio à dit faire un patch pour corriger cela donc ça sera bientôt du passé.

    Pour la réalisation technique, oui le jeu n'est pas un triple A ... juste un jeu "middle class" vendu 30 euro en boite et à ce titre il est tout à fait honnête voir très réussi quand à sa direction artistique, les intérieurs rendant d'ailleurs très bien. C'est pas la claque du siècle oui mais on a vue tellement pire ... comme No Man's Sky par exemple ... bien plus râté de ce point de vue la ... et tellement d'autres jeux vendu entre entre 20 et 50 euro ...

    Il parait que le jeu serait farcis d'aliasing ... c'est marrant mais je trouve justement que non ! Le jeu en a très peu ! Ceux qui osent mentir la dessus feraient bien d'acheter des lunettes, ou une nouvelle TV ou de régler leur TV ... ou bien arrêtez de mentir aussi ça serait pas mal.

    Pour le frame rate, idem, il paraitrait que le jeu serait bourré de gros ralentissement ... c'est marrant mais en 10H de jeu, je n'ai vue qu'un court passage avec de légers soucis d'instabilité du frame rate, autrement dit, vue la taille du jeu : QUE DALLE ! La aussi ceux qui osent dire cela, ça serait bien d'arrêtez de mentir ! Ou si vous êtes si à cheval ... pourquoi enfoncer Recore pour si peu quand vous ne dites rien sur des jeux ayant eu bien plus de problème de frame rate que lui ? Sans parler de bug (Fallout 4 et Witcher 3 ont été pété de bug et problème de frame rate plus de 6 mois après leur sortie, pas mal de jeux ont des soucis identique également .. mais désolé, Recore s'en sort très bien sur ce point.

    Niveau gameplay maintenant, le principal point fort du jeu, d'après certains, plus on évolue plus le jeu devient mauvais, répétitif etc ... c'est marrant mais chez moi, plus j'avance, plus le jeu au contraire dévoile toute son étendue, sa richesse, son challenge, les séquences plateformes sont super bien pensé et fun avec le robot spider par exemple, utiliser Duncan pour défoncer des murs pour découvrir des secret, se promener sur la map pour faire les dungeons secondaires ou récupérer des orbes etc ... le mélanges entre aventure/plateforme et action est excellent et bien équilibré ! Un excellent point. Bref ceux qui disent le contraire, soit vous n'avez pas joué au jeu (ce qui est le cas pour 99% de ceux qui chient dessus actuellement, soit vous mentez ...soit vous êtes nul et n'arrivez pas à avancez car vous ne comprenez rien au jeu ! Au choix !) De plus il faut vraiment prendre le temps d'améliorer ses robots, le fait de devoir faire un choix aussi (seulement 2 robot max avec nous) est intéressant, les points pour se déplacer rapidement sont bien placé etc etc bref le jeu est très fun, très agréable et en plus ce n'est pas un jeu téléguidé tout facile comme le grand public en a l'habitude (ou le public sony amateur d'uncharted ! lol ).

    J'adore la mécanique d'extraction ou il faut jouer avec le stick droit pour ne pas avoir trop de tension dans le câble pour éviter qu'il lâche ! ça n'a l'air de rien comme ça mais c'est super fun ! Ceux qui osent dire aussi que le jeu à des soucis de "lock" et de caméra .... je crois plutôt que c'est vous qui avez la polio et qui savez pas maintenir un bouton, j'ai jamais eu de soucis de cet ordre la en 10H de jeu ... jamais ...

    Pour finir je dirais que celui qui veut vraiment y jouer, ne doit pas s'occuper des mauvais avis totalement mensonger ou exagérant des défauts mineurs, car si Recore n'est pas parfait bien sûre, il est loin d'être très mauvais comme certains le disent, c'est un bon jeu, voir un très bon petit jeu vendu 30 euro et pour le prix et gamme de jeu qu'il représente, on a vue largement pire faut que les anti XBOX arrêtent de dire n'importe quoi ...

    Je recommande pour ma part ce jeu sans soucis. L'univers, les perso, la jouabilité, la durée de vie, pour un jeu vendu a sa sortie 30 euro, sont top et peuvent en montrer à des jeux dit triple A justement ! Une bonne surprise même pour ma part.    … Expand

    I came into ReCore not knowing what to expect. Microsoft didn't really market the game enough for everyone to know exactly what it was. However, having played the game for a decent amount of time now, I believe this is exactly what was needed. I'd say this game is a diamond in the rough, in that the reviews of this game aren't too good, but seriously.. play it. This review isn't going toI came into ReCore not knowing what to expect. Microsoft didn't really market the game enough for everyone to know exactly what it was. However, having played the game for a decent amount of time now, I believe this is exactly what was needed. I'd say this game is a diamond in the rough, in that the reviews of this game aren't too good, but seriously.. play it. This review isn't going to go too in depth on story or characters you'll encounter as it's easy enough to find out on YouTube etc.

    Pros:

    - This game has some of the most engaging characters I've seen this generation. They would really benefit from a ReCore animated movie of sorts. That, coupled with some great voice acting makes for a brilliant set of characters.

    - The gameplay is so tight that it almost feels like an original Xbox game. If you fall off of a ledge, it's completely your fault, the gameplay is near perfect in my opinion. I'm not gonna go into too much of the gameplay mechanics, just search it on YouTube and you'll know what the game has to offer in terms of gameplay within minutes.

    - Story. This game definitely puts you in a world where you need to discover the story, its not given to you on a plate. As you play, you uncover parts of the story in hidden audio logs scattered around the world of Far Eden. Playing through the campaign without exploring will still give you a decent idea of what's going on in the cutscenes and the occasional monologue.

    - Art style. Although this game doesn't have the best graphics you've ever seen, the art style the developers went for really compliments the type of game ReCore is. And for the price of £29.99, the graphics are pretty damn playable. Especially when you look into the distance, it really gives you a sense of being lost. The game makes you feel small and that's a good thing.

    - Nostalgia factor. When playing this game, I seriously felt warm inside. It brought me back to a time where games were simple, yet challenging. For some reason when playing ReCore, I kept getting a Blinx vibe.. which is strange because they're nothing alike.

    Cons:

    - Although load times didn't take away from the fun I had with ReCore, I can't help but add this as a con. For a game like this to have the load times it does is quite confusing. As of now, the load times peak at around 30 seconds.

    My verdict on the game is that although Microsoft maybe didn't market the game as much as they could have, I believe they were going off of word of mouth. The fans will do the marketing of the game and maybe that was the right way to go. I'm not lying to you, this game is one of my favourite game this generation, right up there with Sunset Overdrive. The only reason I'm not giving ReCore a 10/10 is simply because of the load times which although didn't take away from the overall experience for me, is an issue nonetheless. I'm asking you NOT to listen to the reviews this game has, not even mine, but to play it and form your own opinion. This game definitely deserves a sequel.    … Expand

If you haven't been keeping up with game industry news, there are a lot of misguided politics behind this game, which would be why other reviewers are saying that there are false 0's posted.    … Expand

    I want to rate this game higher, I really do, but this is the first time I've experienced a let down in a game that started out so promising.

    Recore feels fresh for a shooter platformer, that quite frankly is a 3D version of Mega Man. Yet, that didn't rob me from the fun.

It has original and fun bots, puzzles, platforming, and RPG qualities that make you want to play it. Seriously, the curiosity and drive to acquire parts for my bots kept me going.

    Here's where Recore falls short. It's painfully obvious, the creators ran out of time. From long load times, lazily inaccessible areas (ironic for a game that rewards exploring) that show us, there's more to the game they aren't giving us. The story loses stream real fast, the environments go from curious and eye catching, to literally baron and uneventful. You go from being guided and slightly pushed to find more, achieve more to combat the enemy, to a near completely open sandbox world with subtle direction.

    The key here is, they are addressing the content issue. On Dec. 2nd, they've shown us a new bot is coming and more to the story/dungeons in a DLC (no release date yet). Whether it's free or paid maybe the big turning point of this game. If you haven't bought it yet, I would wait for the DLC to drop (if free) so you can experience a much more full game that I did.

    For right now I give it a 6 out of 10. Hopefully the DLC is free and fills in the gaps that they should of filled at launch.    … Expand

    It is not perfect, it is not for all players. But I like the game, the arcade mechanics, bosses, rpg elements and characters. But it is repetitive, sometimes have technical problems and the loadings are unacceptable for a 2016 game. Anyway, it´s a fair game and for me positive points exceed the negatives and worth the price.

    The game does suffer somewhat from 'Groundhog Day' syndrome. Rinse-repeat tasks that have you farming parts, Cores, and XP to improve Joule and her bots. Fortunately I found it fun enough that the grind side of the game didn't really put me off, I'm still having fun with it even now.

    Reviews are funny things - so subjective and hard to fathom when they are contrary to your own view point. Recore is suffering from a lack of objectivity. While it can be wonky at times for controls and suffers from HORRIBLE load times, the game is, never the less solid. Its more about exploration, platforming and movement and timing than it is about shooting and combat. The core system is fun and the corebots are well developed. Its a semi open world that works well with a decent story line. Music is appropriate for a game that relies heavily on the open world, providing ambient immersion through low to no music and punctuating climatic moments with appropriate score. It is not, however, a soundtrack to go looking for. When you compare this to other lack luster recent releases, (No Man's Sky for example) its amazing that its critic score is LOWER than most incomplete and semi broken releases.

    TLDNR; Recore is at its heart an exploration and platforming game with movement and timing based combat thrown in to break up the primary core game play. If you like open worldish games with fun things to do, you should consider trying it. Because the combat is less about shooting skill, if you are looking for a story driven shooter than I would move on - but if you like platforming and exploration in an openish world you may want to consider getting it or renting it (if on console). Its hard to recommend as a purchase in its launch condition considering the LONG AND INEXCUSABLE load times and occasionally wonky controls. So I would say rent or borrow if possible unless you know its the sort of game you will enjoy. Its also appropriate for a wide age range, which is admirable considering the abundance of adult oriented games that are heavily represented in this release cycle.

    TECHNICAL: Recore suffers from long load times (some up to more than 2 minutes), occasional frame rate drops and wonky controls and camera reactions. The number of load screens destroys the pacing and immersion and if anything should be addressed by the developer, as soon as possible, it would be fixing the load times.

    GRAPHICS: Ranges from acceptable and colorful to muddy textures bland graphic fidelity. Overall its okay but nothing to get excited about.

    SOUND: Ambient noise, weapons and bots are done well enough to flesh out the world.

    SOUNDTRACK: Music is not very prominent but is used to good effect for enhancing immersion and to punctuate climatic moments. It is otherwise unremarkable and is not something that would be worth pursuing for game music enthusiasts.

    VOICE ACTING: Serviceable voice acting is provided with some deliveries being on the mark while others are slightly cringe worthy.

    GAME PLAY: While the color coding and corebot variety is a fun addition, it is a well developed platformer with some fun exploration. Combat is serviceable although there are some odd RNG and difficulty spikes thrown in at times that jar with the rest of the game. Controls and camera reaction can be wonky at times leading to frustration, especially when factoring in the LONG load times. This is particularly problematic when you need to repeat difficult boss encounters and have to wait in some cases over 2 minutes for the stage to load. These load times are also random as the stages that are loading are not overly complex. Instead it shows a lack optimization and quality control for base programming.

    STORY: The story is decent but not horribly original or thought provoking. Its standard sci-fi world colonization fare. Its written well enough but suffers at times from poor voice acting.

    MULTIPLAYER: N/A

    REPLAY VALUE: Recore has relatively low replay value. If you like time challenges you may want to re-run some of the traversal rush dungeons, but otherwise a single thorough play through will pretty much exhaust what the game has to offer.

    VALUE PROPOSITION: This is a game that will appeal to a very specific player base. Its a solid but well worn path that it follows with little innovation and unfortunately is hampered by technical flaws that break up the immersion and the pacing of the game with occasional highly frustrating control and camera responses and odd difficulty spikes that are then exacerbated by the long load times. I would suggest that unless you know that this is the type of game that you really enjoy, I would avoid purchasing it until the load times and other technical issues are resolved. If you plan to play it on console this would be a good game to rent for a long weekend.

    PERSONAL SCORE: 75% out of 100. A solid, basic game with room for improvement. Seems that it was rushed to hit a specific release window (not much to compete with at this time) instead of being well honed and polished, which is a shame.    … Expand

Reinstalling the game doesn't do anything. This bug happens every time I try to play.

    Great story and narrative, the puzzles are creative and solid, and it looks pretty good.If you like traveling between maps, dungeons, an over-world, collecting loot, leveling up, and fast paced combat then you will definitely love ReCore

    Carisma dos personagens, gráfico, exploração, historia e sistema de upgrade são os pontos fortes do game. O ponto fraco sem duvida são as telas loads que chegam a durar 2 minutos.

Any games have bugs and some are more breaking than others but never will it impact how I feel about a game. Bugs did not made me think that Skyrim was horrible you know? And there is a lot of them.

    All that just to say that gamers should just try to enjoy what the devs makes for them and stop complaining about hardware, power and bugs. Just play, just have fun.    … Expand

My 6 year old son is willing to try and try and the puzzles, something he'd avoid in other games. I never had early consoles thus I never played metroid and other games it's based on. To me, the parkour play was more engaging than the current Tomb Raider titles. The art style is just too derivative of other titles. It IS inexcusable that this game appears to be incomplete.… Expand

After playing a few hours I watched the IGN review and the biggest disagreement I have with it is the reviewer's complaint of changing ammo colors for each enemy, saying it's "insultingly simplistic." Against single opponents I guess, but so far I have seen many encounters where multiple colors of enemies swarm you, especially in boss fights with adds, requiring you to be quick on your feet with how you handle ammo color switching and enemy targeting. The platforming is some of the best I've seen for a while. The only complaint I really have is the loading times. If they can fix that like From Software did for Bloodborne that would be wonderful.… Expand

    Tenho um PS4 um ONE e um PC, e digo que o RECORE (estou jogando no PC)pelo menos para mim, foi um dos melhores jogos que joguei este ano, ao lado de UNCHARTED 4, DARK SOULS 3, DOOM, DEUS EX: mankind divided e XCOM 2.
    Estou gostando muito dele, pois me lembrou de jogos da época do meu Dreamcast e do Game Cube.

There are some minor flaws such as load times and some frame-rate dips, but the load times are shortened if you're running it off of an external hard drive, especially an SSD. I don't know which game reviewers were reviewing, but I am absolutely in love with this game.… Expand

    Fascinating game. I have to give it a 10 as it's way better than that kids game ratchet and clank which is alright but this is good studs, good puzzles, great graphics and I'm glad I bought it and recommend it. I had some learning curve at first but now I'm more familiar with the mechanics and gameplay I rate this as a must buy.

    Jogo ótimo que mistura vários gêneros com maestria, lembra muito os jogos Metroid, recomendado para quem curte jogos do tipo Metroid.
    Na Xbox live o jogo está com nota 4,8 de 5,0 e só quem compra o jogo pode atribuir uma nota, então não caia nessas analises furadas. Esse jogo foi o jogo mais injustiçado dessa geração.

    Recore doesn't look that good. I feel that Recore has a cool concept, but the game itself hit the gaming industry during the wrong time period. This type of game probably would have been a hit on the OG Xbox/PS2.Borin.

    This is one of those games which, as an experience, might be salvaged down the road by faster hardware, specifically whatever can cure the LONNNG loading times. To release a game with loading times this long had better be as amazingly artistically detailed as Bloodborne, and this just isn't. 2-3 minute load times every death is a dealbreaker.

    This game went from a 9 to a ZERO in one night. There is a boss called Elder Alaram and he is definitely the hardest boss I've faced in 30+ years. Both myself, my son, and my daughter are all expert gamers, and we all took turns and tried to beat him for over FOUR HOURS. He cannot be beat. I've never been so pissed at a game in all my life.

    25% Grinding for Level & Collecting Cores
    50% Padding in late game with the same battles against the same enemies over and over again and even more boring collecting of Cores.

    Real shame, first Trailer looked cool but seeing early gameplay I was sceptical. Now I'm just sad that they wasted the oppertunity to reestablish "PS2 era" games...

Piss poor story telling that doesn't tell a coherent story at all, if you want any real investment in the story of what happened to Far Eden, you're expected to gather all the collectibles because the game itself doesn't really tell a complete narrative through the gameplay. By the end you'll still be wondering what the hell is going on unless you're a 100% collector type. Combine this with the way the game is built around grinding prismatic cores over and over again with boring, repetitive auto-aim combat, and all of the bugs and ReCore simply isn't worth buying even at its reduced retail price.

    Destructoid and Giant Bomb's reviews are spot on for this game's shortcomings. It had a lot of potential but what we ended up with was a hurried, quasi-AA game that's only worth one playthrough. It will largely be forgotten by year's end and will likely be a free Games with Gold game by mid-2017 (also expect it to show up on Steam just to try to beef up sales, just like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Quantum Break).    … Expand

    Absolute garbage. Buggy, extremely long load times, and a bland open world. Should have NEVER been released in this fashion. Someone above who gave it a 10 said a plus was that it released on date. Maybe it shouldn't have. A delay was needed. It releasing on time was the least of this games problem. This is insulting.

    ReCore has a lot of strengths but also weaknesses. Great platforming hides an empty world and boring fights. The technical aspect of the game also does not help, occasionally even frustrates. [Issue #268]
