It combines some of the best elements of Metroid and Mega Man and blends them together seamlessly. Other than camera problems and occasionally excessive load times, ReCore is an exciting experience and one of the Xbox One’s best action games.

There's a good game in ReCore. It's just buried under a bunch of imperfections and horrible loading times.

I'm only a few hours in. Been trying quite a few games off game pass today and this was the most fun by a **** paper I should hate this game. I'm not a fan of exploration, platforming, shooters, or even the tone, music , or these type of backdrops and scenery but this was a lot of fun. It gives me plenty to do, values my time and offers enough variance through the exploring, platforming and shooting that none of them are outstaying their welcome. It has been a really enjoyable time so far. Controls are incredibly smooth. You do some big jumps and dashes and always land where you intend to. Traversing is fast. It's not overly simple so as to be boring but also doesn't require finger gymnastics. For me all the elements just work and it looks and plays really nicely. It does have a bit of pop in but it's not too intrusive, or immersion breaking. I was giving up hope on game pass for today and this was a really nice find. Great game. I think considering the review scores on some of the pretty **** games I've played today that the scores for this are not a great reflection of the game. I didn't find it average at all. I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

A feeling of isolation in a desolate, intriguing world. Novel fighting mechanics, brilliant platforming, superb pet robot mechanics/switchable companions. There is a real sense of wonder and exploration here, a fantastic sense of mystery and a need/addictive loop that pushes the player forward. If this game was full price, maybe it is a 7/8, but at t half price? Amazing value

At first ReCore is an engaging adventure plenty of good ideas but, then, some issues interfere with the flow of the title.

Had they put a little more money, time and attention into ReCore, there could have been an awesome game here. Unfortunately only the gameplay is okay, the rest of it is just meh.

ReCore is an incredibly promising title. Its characters are rich and entertaining, and its combat plays very well for the most part. But, even after an eventual patch to fix the load times on the Xbox One, it will still be half a good game and half an incredibly boring grind.

Overall, the narrative is predictable while set in an interesting world, and the movement is slick and enjoyable, but the constant back-tracking to collect more keys weighs down the experience. It’s unfortunate that the game couldn’t be tightened up under Microsoft’s tutelage, because ReCore has nuggets of good ideas buried beneath the monotony and tedium of its primary activities.

It's all a shame because ReCore shows so much promise in its opening hours. It's easy to envision a way in which all those ideas could manifest into something great. They don't, though. Instead, it's just a jumble of mechanics that never jell, gameplay that grows stale far too quick, and insulting design. System failure.

EL MEJOR JUEGO = THE BEST GAME
Pero que bueno, pongo un 10 para compensar el maltrato de la prensa, sería solo un 8 o 8,3 el combate es muy bueno, los graficos muy buenos, los compañeros saltan mucho y en general mucho mejor de lo que le ha dado la prensa.

Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s more rare for me to get into a multiplayer game. Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions. (7) Average. The game’s feature may work, but are nothing that even causal players haven’t seen before. Nothing sticks out in this game. Graphics, gameplay, and story is fine just nothing remunerable about this game.

The game is almost unacceptably ugly but its quite fun I just wish there was a sequel or a remake with better visuals

This game would be awesome if it had only focused on being an indi game. Combat is basic even when platforming is great. I stopped playing before entering the Warren because it asked me 16 cores, I wouldn't have a problem getting them but it's so damn tedious and I was getting boooored asf. I remember getting 150 Golden bricks in Lego Avengers and it was awesome, but getting cores here is boring that I was falling asleep. I really wanted to finish this game but story is not that interesting to balance the basic combat system and poor mechanics. If it was a 4 or 5 hours game it would've been nice.

Recore is an utter trainwreck. As I'm doing a marathon of all Xbox One exclusives, this one sticks out like a broken thumb and not just a sore one. The combat is incredibly tedious and repetitive as you just lock on, maybe switch the color your weapon is firing, maybe take out the core from the enemy, rinse and repeat.
Visually, the game just looks incredibly low budget, with awful character models, and poor looking textures.
I had to force myself to finish this game and by the end, I was done.
Despite it being on Game Pass, don't even bother with it, it's simply not worth your time.
