ReCore Reviews
ReCore is an unpleasant game. If you're looking for a good game for the Xbox One I don't recommend you get this game.
ReCore ist ein Spiel, das ich um jeden Preis hatte mögen wollen. Doch leider werden der Spielspaß und meine Liebe zu diesem an sich sehr sympathischen Sci-Fi-Szenario durch arg viele Grafikfehler, eine unsaubere Steuerung und nervige Kleinigkeiten auf eine harte Probe gestellt.

ReCore is a nice game friends. Of course, it has its own ups and downs. Some platform puzzles are so annoying, the open world is sometimes very fainting and the grind system makes you mad, but I still cannot call ReCore a bad game. If you like the grind job, if you like ReCore's universe, I'm sure you'll do fun stuff for hours. The game is currently sold for 110 TL in the Windows Store. As I said, if you like grind and platform-style games, ReCore will give you hours of fun. But the firm has never been a Mighty No. If he had not dealt with 9 and turned directly to ReCore, a much better production would have been waiting for us.

ReCore starts strong with a fun combination of platforms and third-person shooting, but soon the repetition starts to strike a bit and every enemy feels the same. The same goes for the Corebots that accompany you. Upgrading your comrades is fun, and puzzling with the skills feels cool too.

By the game's end, I found I didn't care about any of the characters. Instead, I was fed up, hunting down the rest of the prismatic cores in order to reach the end. The game had done a full 180. It's a major disappointment, given the promise ReCore shows at its beginning, when it's just Joule and Mack.
I liked ReCore's first part enough that I wish this score could be higher, but taken as a whole the game can't be qualified as "good". Again, I like ReCore, but I can't recommend it without tacking on a few asterisks.
ReCore is not an AAA game but they want us to think that way. If there is something that we can say about this game to make it kinda cool and important, we might say that is the graphics but that's it! The game is broken and unfinished; but if the developers put more work on it and keep it more in development, now we might have a gorgeous game that makes everybody happy and feel less disappointed.

Despite the issues, I do still recommend people pick up ReCore. With a lower price, fun gameplay and an original IP, this could be the start of a trend for a revived mid-tier level of gaming, once found prominently on the N64 and early PlayStation consoles.
There are other odd issues to be found where ReCore keeps tripping over itself despite earnest efforts to aid the player, like a targeting reticle that appears below Joule whenever she takes big jumps — except the camera always prevents you from truly seeing it, so you end up witnessing Joule fall into chemicals or into a pit of death. I could go on, but I'll stop. Perhaps one day, I'll have Joule raid an easy dungeon with Mack just to see how they move and interact. That way, I won't die and have more than enough time to think about how disappointed I was.
ReCore isn't perfect - but that doesn't mean it's not an enjoyable experience.
'ReCore' can be very fun at times, and it can also be very tedious. It has good video game conventions, like the awesome jumping-dashing-grappling bits, but also has some bad ones, like bosses that are made difficult only by virtue of having massive health bars. It isn't helped by the weak technical presentation. It's probably best for only the most ardent of platforming fans, the players who can put up with all of its hangups.
ReCore's immersive gameplay puts you in the face of danger, adventure, and a heart-warming narrative that bonds you with a charismatic human and her Corebots. I'd recommend this game to anybody looking for a new action-adventure game, yet also craving the gameplay and nostalgia of pre-PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 second generation games.
ReCore could've been much better if it had more time in development, as it still doesn't feel stable nor polished. But on the other hand, it mastered the basic elements of a platforming games. Anyway, the game is relatively cheap, so that might incentivise you to buy it if you like platformers.

ReCore is a title that you must play if you have Xbox One or Windows 10. It is a fun and interesting experience and one that is different. A game to explore and admire a desert of ruins in which we do not know what happened. A very fast gameplay that hooks you and makes you want to improve to advance in the main plot. In short, a jewel in the Microsoft catalog that you should not miss.

Recore may not be a perfect game, but it's much more extensive than you'd think by presentations. It's not an easy straightforward action, it's a sandboxED RPG combined with a jumpsuit where you spend tens of hours.

For better and worse, they just don't make them like ReCore anymore
Nonetheless, persist and you'll bear witness to a sound narrative pay-off, a rarity in the world of gaming these days. Recore's story isn't particularly original, but it's paced well enough to keep you playing, and in our case, power through its more glaring problems. As it stands, Recore is a flawed, albeit fun, game that could have benefitted by a longer development cycle. You could do worse, you could do better, and for now with Recore the overall experience is rather middling.
No amount of extra quality assurance testing would fix the basic issues at the heart of ReCore.
While the story may not be as fleshed out as older adventure games, it definitely has the right spirit in mind.
