Really that bad?

[wyte boi]

Game looks pretty nice is it really that bad as people said?

[Spiritus]

bought it yesterday, played for almost 2 hours, refunded - it is not that bad, but it is very mediocre, not worth even 5 bucks on sale...

[Kalenath]

it is a good setting. The combat is well balanced with strong enemies that are not too overpowered as long as you can play the game. The story is sort of cliche, but fun.

IF OF COURSE IT LETS YOU PLAY!

This a port from console and even with a controller the movement keys often doesn;t work right.

Or the camera won't let you see where you need to interact with to make that jump.

Or, your fire button doesn't work

Or when you double jump, the second one doesn't register and you fall. Over. And over. And over again.

it is not about skill. it is not about reflexes. it is about a game that won't let many people play it. If this is what you want? Go for it. I don't. Pity the glitches didn't really start until after 2 hours. Coincidence? I think not.

The game is, in fact, mediocre... but very interesting to play. The storyline is hesitant, but still interesting. The glitches in"Definitive Edition" have mostly (not consistently) been fixed. As a training ground for more complex, difficult games requiring more controller or PC interaction, it is very good. Yes, there are glitches that mostly can be solved with work-arounds. Gameplay is repetitive, but enhances your ability to complete the story without dying... too much. I've been through it several times, and will do so again if only to see the scenery. Each challenge provides ways around them, either with Joule's dexterity, or by employing your bots in novel ways... possibly inconsistent with the direct play the devs designed. To say it's a waste of money? Maybe harsh, depending on your wants and desires. I like it. I would like to see a "Recore 2" but that will never happen now that it was pushed out by the new owners with only profit on their non-gamer minds. Shame really. I actually wrote a series that more than fleshes out the storyline, gave Kai a bigger role and explained missing pieces that were left hanging by the rushed devs. I say, buy it, play it, enjoy it. It could have been better, but it's not. If you want to read the four volumes of "Recore: Journal Entry", go to r/recore on Reddit. You will find them there, in the "Fan'Fiction" tab, downloadable on Word, and absolutely free. The copyrights belong to Microsoft, but I've sent the first book to Armature for their enjoyment. I am not now, nor will I accept payment for this series. It is for gamers and possible fans of "Recore: Definitive Edition" to enjoy.

I'm enjoying the game, I play it on and off. it's a lot better than that game "Paragraphs"

Stay Safe

[azdaja]

it is fun game, for sure. I´ve been enjoying it for hours and days :)

[DrMidnight]

It has some flaws but i realy enjoy the game. Fun to explore and find secrets and i love the interaction with the robot companions. The story it self is a-ok. It made me curious about what was going on till the end atleast.

This game needs a follow up. Change the things that makes it mediocre for alot of people and evolve the whole comapnion thing into something more and deeper too.

The game has its heart in the right place and a great setting and game play ideas that just needs another push to make it into something truly great.

i think this game is amazing so who is saying this game is bad its just really hard in some spots i died 50 times on my first day but once you level up it gets so much easier

[Fracture94]

Agree, for me this is one of those cult games that most people dont care or dont like it, but for a bunch its a treasure. For me it is, thats for sure. Great and original combat system, lots of platforming, a good challenge, open world, etc... fantastic overall.

I am enjoying it. I am not a Metroid fan or anything like those games, which some people mention in relation to people expecting something similar. Most of the haters are just whining. Not what THEY wanted. Fine, refund it.

The story is a little sluggish, but interesting enough.
The robo-dog is a PITA, but until I can actually get another bot I'm stuck with it.
Hint: If you need parts, don't extract cores. Killing bad bots without core extraction drops spare parts.

It's fun, pretty, and a little short on guides in game on why I should be doing something. I'm just there offing bots and stealing parts, everything else is secondary.

[Vargas78]

I think its worth the promotional price. Graphics are nice and smooth and its quite a polished title, the setting is a little boring though. The gameplay is ok.

[taiiat]

i think it's a great game. the core Gameplay loop i find enjoyable, and it keeps me on my toes - which goes a long way to making a game enjoyable overall.
Character Movement feels mostly good, just a smidge stiff i might say but that's pretty minor.
i have some gripes about repeated Stuns, but i find Combat to be a positive experience overall.

just know that you're getting into a game that isn't completely driven by its Narrative - it's a major player in how you progress, but the game isn't just a straight line. there's a fair amount of side content in both Dungeon style and Exploration style.

main con i can think of to mention is that apparently Keybinds got broken and never fixed. so you can't change the Keybinds which is a bit annoying. but the defaults are usable so it doesn't break the game, technically, i guess.


i think it all boils down to whether you like the way the moment to moment Gameplay handles. and that's 50/50 how the Combat feels to you, and how the Character Movement/Platforming feels to you.

The first half of the game is actually pretty good, tho a bit repetitive. It borrowed some gaming mechanics from Metroid Prime.
The second half however is REALLY bad, when it becomes a tight and frustrating "jump from this platform to this platform" game (its like a totally different game) The problem is that the jumping is really bad (at least it was when I played the game on Xbox one few years ago)
Also, you need to collect gems (=grind a lot) to unlock next area, which sucks.

I'd say, buy the game when it's on sale for 3 bucks, but you should only play the first half of the game.

[lilKriT]

In my opinion... the game definitely isn't BAD. But whatever it does, there's always some "but". The idea of having different bots is fun, BUT it's clunky. The upgrades are cool, BUT the GUI for them sucks. The missions are interesting, BUT they can be buggy.

It's a real shame, because if all the "buts" would be fixed, this would be an awesome game.

[AbedsBrother]

It's a grind-fest. If you don't like the combat system, you'll wind up hating it pretty quickly. (I enjoyed Recore and have played it through 3 times on different platforms)

Ainda vou comprar esse jogo!
