I should point out, however, that this enjoyment didn't stem much from the platforming itself. It's not terrible – Joule's move-set includes a short, Mega-Man style dash and a double-jump ability, which the developers build some impressive and challenging...
Strong platforming, Fun throwback to a largely forgotten type of platformer
Long load times, Poor pacing, Story doesn't go anywhere, Combat feels very repetitive
There's still a lot left to see in 2016, but ReCore is an early contender for the most disappointing game of the year. To see such a good idea squandered, seemingly lost to a lack of time and resources, feels heart-wrenching. Even with Microsoft dropp...

Fun platforming reminiscent of classic platformers, Terrific character interactions, Solid companion customization
Repetitive dungeon crawling, Shallow color-coordinated mechanics, Can't customize your character, Subpar story
ReCore is a solid action-adventure platformer with fun, interesting ideas established at the forefront. However, those ideas wither over time because of the game's repetition and weak story...

Abstract: Jak and Daxter is one of my favorite game series of all time.In fact, I've always been drawn to character-driven, 3D action platformers — the games that spawned from Super Mario 64 and its ilk. There's something infinitely entertaining about running, jump...

Despite all of its flaws, ReCore isn't inherently bad, it's just not gripping or polished. The combat, while dull, is enjoyable in that you can zone out and still succeed. You're not going to get frustrated by not being able to perform, or annoyed if you...
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...
Abstract: Part of me loves ReCore for what it's doing in the gaming space. This Xbox One and Windows 10 title (you can get both for the price of one if you buy it digitally) sticks to old action-adventure tropes as a third person shooter with an overworld and dunge...
