    I would in all honesty give this game like a7.5 the bugs are what really hampers it.
    But the game is a throw back to Double A game budget games and it really feels like it. To be honest its part of its charm. The dungeon crawling and challenges are great.
    Only a few issues like loading times and characters getting stuck in doors really hurt it.

    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.

    Juegazo absoluto. Una pena que venga los Sonyers rata a destrozar la nota general como hacen siempre.
    48 negativo, de 48 personas que ni lo han probado.
    Oldschool absoluto, esencia brutal, mecanica divertidisima, e incluso en graficos es mucho mejor de lo que me esperaba.
    BSO ESPECTACULAR.
    Juegazo.

    This game is fantastic. Everyone have to play. These game dont deserve these low notes. The loading time is not a problem. The gameplay is very fluid. The graphics is very beautiful. I recommend this game to everyone.

    Easily one of the most underrated games I've ever played. From the large environments that allow for exploration and backtracking once you upgrade and are able to reach new areas, to the ease and enjoyability of the platforming, to the fun battles that are involving and exhilarating, to the incredible orchestral score that is a cherry atop an already delicious sundae.

From the large environments that allow for exploration and backtracking once you upgrade and are able to reach new areas, to the ease and enjoyability of the platforming, to the fun battles that are involving and exhilarating, to the incredible orchestral score that is a cherry atop an already delicious sundae. 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is fun, plain and simple i'm 4 hours in and i really enjoy the shooting and the platforming, it's nothing revolutionary but not as bad as most reviewers say it is, it does suffer from frame rate problems and the loading time issues are there but those issues don't take away from the main experience .
    Overall really nice and enjoyable game..

    Innovative. It is not just more of the same. Fun and challenging game early. I have not played much yt but I anticipate several hours of a different common style. No graphics problems here.

    Es mas que bueno, le pongo un 10 ara compensar el maltrato de la prensa, lo justo sería un 8, el combate está muy bien, los compañeros molan bastante y en general mucho mejor de lo que la prensa le ha dado..

    Joseph Staten, Keiji Inafune, Mark Pacini and Microsoft Studios. Thank you for this great videogame! Honestly, the first time for a long time I playing in wonderful platformer, in which gameplay, story, and the levels are made at the proper level. It's pleasant, fun and truly replayability)

    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.

    O jogo está muito bom, estou gostando muito. A mecánica relembra um pouco Mega Man e Metroid. Quando você começa a joga-lo, não quer mais parar. Excelente Jogo.

    Um ótimo jogo, cheio de puzzles, exploração e uma historia interessante. Se tem um ponto ruim neste jogo seria o fato dos loadings serem longos, e de você ter que retornar a base para trocar os coreboot. De resto espere muita diversão, e claro a trilha sonora é espectacular .

    Don't normally write reviews but wanted to throw some positive love to the developers of this game. It's way under rated here. It's available currently on game pass and I'm really digging it. It's open world with a bunch of fun/challenging dungeons and the emotional bond you form with your little mechanical pets is real. This game is far better than whatever 6.7 it currently has here...Don't normally write reviews but wanted to throw some positive love to the developers of this game. It's way under rated here.

    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

    Fantastic game. A nice mix of challenging game play with fantastic graphics. Another great New IP from Microsoft. It is great to see them taking chances on new titles instead of just pumping out the same mix of games I am getting on other consoles. PS. It released on time the day they said it would. Very nice :-)

    If you can look past the technical issues (which will likely be patched anyway), Recore plays like a throwback game from the "good old days," and fills a very particular void that we've been seeing in the recent generations.

The game is fun, and it's hard to put down. The RPG elements add a completely new dynamic, one that you'll actually look forward to grinding for, and at the price tag, it's hard to agree with the negativity the game has been receiving. It certainly has it's influences from Metroid and Mega Man, but dolloped in tasteful amounts while still retaining its own unique and quirky identity.

    If you're here and only looking at scored reviews, please consider reading an actual writeup from a journalist that has similar game tastes to you, away from Metacritic. 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.

    Pretty revolutionary in terms of modern-platforming. This style of platformer mixed w/contra III alien wars gameplay and **** could be wow. the game is rough arond the edges, but if you can see the game for what it is in terms platoformer/shooter it's not something you'll experience again. This is a rare gem

    ReCore, I am not a fanboy as it is a new franchise but I had to say something because I do not think that this game deserves all the negs. Sure, the loading times could be better, it is some tech issues here and there but when it is going, it is GOING. Fast paced, fun, beautiful apocalyptic planet and a loveable heroine and not to forget little Mack, this game is what a game should be...ReCore, I am not a fanboy as it is a new franchise but I had to say something because I do not think that this game deserves all the negs.

    I don't work for these people, I have nothing to gain or lose but for $49.95AUD you get a whole lot of game and a whole lot of fun, don't let the negs keep you away from giving this game a try, it is worth it, guaranteed

С механикой игры все в полном порядке, если умеете вовремя нажимать на две кнопки на геймпаде))) К дизайну локация тоже нет претензий. Роботов нужно прокачивать (это интересно). Графика на уровне современных игр, но детализация ближе к япоснкой, как и сама игра7 Ну не могу сказать, что графика как на старом боксе. Сюжет тоже имеется. Но если вы в восторге от нового DEMD, то может игра и не для вас 8-) Expand

    Both the platforming and the shooting hold up, then, but they barely develop after the first few hours. [December 2016, p.116]

    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]
