   Once again we have clear evidence how out of touch these sad little 'journalists' are incredibly out of touch with what makes a good game.
   
   This is wonderfully polished for a non major studio. It looks gorgeous - the story is pleasant and amusing. Platforming, movement and combat is fun and the core game mechanics are great.
   
   This game takes you back to some of the glory days of gaming as it successfully mixes multiple genres into an incredibly satisfying package that rewards exploration and collection.

Although the release of this game was rushed a bit, resulting in some unfortunate technical issues (what else is new), the old-school style gameplay more than makes up for these bugs. This is the sort of game that reminds me of why I got into gaming, and gives me hope that there are still developers out there that remember the glory of the PS2/GC era.
   If $40 is too much money for you (it is worth that price), make sure to watch this game and pick it up later for less. Don't let yourself miss this one.… Expand

I have enjoyed very minute of it. From the great voice acting to the neat sound effects, thus far the game has proven that sometimes a smaller game can be almost better than a blockbuster. I have not seen any of the load time issues many have complained about. In terms of game length, as I said I'm only a couple hours into it. But the replay of it seems strong to me.… Expand

   GENERAL IMPRESSIONS:
   Reviews are funny things - so subjective and hard to fathom when they are contrary to your own view point. Recore isGENERAL IMPRESSIONS:
   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

   Stay away from this garbage at all costs!

   Cons:
   
   * Serious performance issues with stuttering and freezes even on systems better than recommended.
   * Graphics ranging from awesome to utter garbage (very inconsistent)
   * If you die during a puzzle you often re-spawn in bad spots just to instantly die again.
   * You are constantly forced to backtrack to find "optional" cores in order to progress the main story.
   * Glitches, glitches glitches. Ranging from screen flicker during loading screens to models popping in/out to animation issues and missing sounds and beyond. I'm surprised how it made it through certification in its current state as you literary can't play 10 minutes without encountering some (often graphical) glitch.
   
   Pros:
   
   * The "grappling-hook" mechanic is cool.
   
   Verdict:
   
   Cool idea but extremely poorly executed. 4/10.… Expand
