    As much as I would like to give a good score to Recore, I can't. I like the platforming, Controls are responsive which can't be said about most of the games these days. All games seem sluggish and game mechanics don't often work as they should. Recore is the opposite. I don't give a **** about graphics when something plays this good.

    Reason for a bad score, although this seems like a really fun game, is the fact that I can't play this game. A bug that freezes my robot companion in place, makes it impossible to continue the story. Restarting the game fixes it but same thing happens every time I play the first dungeon. Reinstalling the game doesn't do anything. This bug happens every time I try to play.

    People need to stop pre- ordering games. It is the pre- ordering that makes it possible for game makers to release incomplete crap like this. Bugs are a common thing in games but in the age of the internet developers should patch these.

    It's sad. 7/10 game is now 0/10    … Expand

    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.

    25% Real Content
    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

    Pros: Decent platformer style game that provides some level of entertainment.
    Cons: Empty, repetitive, substandard graphics, and slightly better than Mighty No. 2.

    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.

    "Amazing! Incredible! So good! Don't listen to the haters this game is REVOLUTIONARY!"
    Care to provide an example?
    If there weren't so many people that were giving it 10's for absolutely no reason other than that they are swooning over the marketing campaign, I would give it a 5. Recore, as with any game, has the potential to spark a feeling of entertainment in someone and that's fine.    "Amazing! Incredible! So good! Don't listen to the haters this game is REVOLUTIONARY!"

    If there weren't so many people that were giving it 10's for absolutely no reason other than that they are swooning over the marketing campaign, I would give it a 5. Recore, as with any game, has the potential to spark a feeling of entertainment in someone and that's fine. However there is nothing so objectively great about the game that should make anyone believe that it deserves even a 7, let alone a 10.

    Gameplay: Anyone who finds this game "innovative" doesn't even know the meaning of the word. This game is a platformer and shooter through and through, with few unique gimmicks here and there. What's the problem you ask? It's flat. Repetitive. One-dimensional. Every section of platforming provides little to no actual challenge and holds no actual purpose except to keep you from getting to the next fight, and every fight consists of these simple actions: backing away from the opponent, shooting the same gun endlessly (Yes, you only have one gun throughout the entire game) and waiting for your robot assistant to help you. . . Oh, and you can kind of upgrade your assistant so they can do more damage and run faster and stuff. Gosh, isn't that "innovative"? Bet you'll never find an upgrading system in any other game that has ever existed. . . But really, if you're a platformer or shooter veteran of any kind, you won't find anything new here. Also, I hope you can bare like 10 hours of that **** because I sure can't. Oh, and sidequests. I really hope you hate progress, because there are a lot of sidequests.

    Graphics: Not bad, but definitely not good, and probably a generation behind. Save for some minor environmental hazard based sections, every patch of desert and every cave look the same as the next. And as far as textures and plygons go, maybe even some of these landscapes could get directly ported to the previous generation with no editing whatsoever. It's kind of crazy that this is even on the Xbox One (and not just from a graphical standpoint, Comcept).

    Overall, the game is just okay, and it might've just been okay to cram everything into a 3 hour experience. Nothing about this game merits being as long as it is, and nothing about this game really stands out in the grand scope. It's not bad, but it is definitely in no way a 10.    … Expand

    It's a bad game.
    Bad execution,some animations look clunky,repetitive is a common thing here,and the story it's just meh.It has some moments,but nothing too serious.

    Basically,it's another cashgrab by some dude who made a good game 20 years ago.

    IF you like repetitive,uninterested,and full of thecnical problems game,then recore is for you.

    It's unfortunate, especially with the great team of developers involved, but they really dropped the ball on this one. Terrible load times, mediocre graphics, buggy and frame rate dips. I was very much looking forward to this game, hopefully the PC version will have mods to fix it one day.

The gameplay is ok not great or anything that stands out from all the other games of the type, repetitive after an hour. On the cover there are bots that seem to be removed from the game, I spent ages looking for it and seems no one else has. The leveling system and upgrade system makes no difference to battle, I attack a level 25 or a level 4 it takes the same amount of time to destroy, the companion bots are the same. The game is ok not great, pick it up cheap.… Expand

    Look Im not hard to impress, I enjoyed games that people generally dont like such as X-men destiny, the Order 1886, Nicktoons games, etc... but recore just had to many problems that I could not give it a pass. For the record I love 3D platformers they are my favorite genre, and I desperately want them to come back, so Im not trying to push a biased agenda.

    Let me start by saying that    Look Im not hard to impress, I enjoyed games that people generally dont like such as X-men destiny, the Order 1886, Nicktoons games, etc... but recore just had to many problems that I could not give it a pass. For the record I love 3D platformers they are my favorite genre, and I desperately want them to come back, so Im not trying to push a biased agenda.

    Let me start by saying that the platfoming is top notch, however the shooting while it works and gets the job done, it becomes very tedious by the 4th hour of in the game, and Id like to point out that Recore has a lock on mechanic that doesn't properly work most of the time when ever I tried to lock on to an enemy that was in front of me, the game would lock on to the one that was all the way in the back, this as you can imagine leads to some unfair deaths. speaking of unfair deaths I have to point out how glitchy this game is, in the first 4 hours you wont notice many glitches, but by th 6th you'll start to see so wacky stuff.

    While I was exploring a dungeon I got to a spot where a platform would not spawn, I looked on message boards and forums to confirm if my game had glicthed or if I was being a dumb ass gamer at the time. Unfortunately I wasn't in the wrong the platform that was supposed to be there never spawned so I had to create a tricky maneuver to keep playing the game. This isn't the first time this happened, I came across this very same glitch numerous times and in some cases when ever I re spawned I would die instantly forcing me to quit the dungeon and restarting from the beginning. and glitches are the least of this games problem, the game isn't even finished, there are entire sections of the game that you cant explore due to one of your robot companions not being in the game. Now what do I mean by that, well If you just look at your Recore game case or the picture that comes up when you start the game you'll notice that there are 5 corebot companions, one that looks like a dog, one that looks like a spider, one that looks like a jellyfish, one that looks like an ape and one that looks like a tank. The one that resembles a tank is nowhere to be found in the game, and its obvious that it was meant to be in the game since you would need it to access certain areas. Now there has been talks of dlc in recore but if Comcept even thinks of charging for this corebot they have lost their damn minds. If they need more time to finish the game, which is very apparent, then they should have delayed the game longer. I almost forgot to mention the numerous times this game crashed on me, this game crashed on me a total of 6 times. Fallout 4 before mods never crashed on me, not even once but Recore which isn't exactly the most power consuming game did.

    As a gamer I just can not look past these problems, problems like that are why I have a huge distaste for games such as Sonic 06 and Spyro Enter the Dragonfly, I cant lie to people and tell them that this game is a freaking 10 as some frauds on here are doing, sadly I cant give Recore anything higher than a 4/10. The fantastic platforming cant save this game, there are just to many problems that no self respecting gamer can look past.    … Expand

    Les phases de plate-forme de ce TPS sont déjà les pires qu'on puisse concevoir dans le domaine mais le système de combat lourdingue à souhait et mal foutu comme pas deux n'a rien à leur envier non plus. En fait, tout y est fait pour se donner un air "profond" ou sophistiqué (les couleurs, les combos et les orbes à extraire) mais tout y fait "pschiiit" comme une baudruche qui fuit de toutes parts.

    Dans ce monde assez grand et découpé en zones -aux temps de chargement éloquents- à l'ambiance certes pas désagréable (du genre cyber-mad-maxienne pour ainsi dire) on ne peut pas faire deux pas sans tomber sur des araignées ultra-vénères. Les "donjons" à explorer sont encore pires à cet égard, en plus de se répéter inutilement.

    Ce jeu japonais n'est cependant pas trop japoniais ou alors juste un peu mais son monde reste bel et bien vide en dehors de ses ennemis omniprésents. Chose remarquable, on a droit à une VF intégrale, de bon aloi qui plus est.

    Chose nettement moins remarquable, le moteur utilisé est le moteur tout pourri des développeurs indés à la petite semaine, à savoir Unity, ce qui met Recore en porte-à-faux : pas triple A, pas vrai indé non plus... en vérité un A moins voire encore beaucoup moins en définitive.

    En tout cas, à son lancement sur Xbox One, Recore est assez vilain et se permet des ralentissements récurrents. Le jeu a été intensivement patché, puis a reçu des améliorations graphiques significatives sur Xbox One X : seulement du 1440p mais il faut reconnaître qu'il est devenu très présentable avec un rendu propret et un 30 im/s enfin parfaitement stable.

    Ce qui cela dit nous en touche une sans faire bouger l'autre, car toute la jouabilité est à revoir et repenser entièrement ; le jeu lui-même demeure incroyablement creux, limité et répétitif en plus de sa lourdeur permanente. Un échec retentissant.    … Expand
