Reception

Half the price it originally was, but now twice as good – this third person take on Metroid Prime has been remastered into the game it always should have been.

ReCore is fun game betrayed by technical woes. I love the combination of shooting and platforming, but it just doesn't have enough polish to back up its solid mechanics. It could have used some extra time in development to smooth the experience out.

Too many diversions lead to too much wasted time

I began ReCore having a marvelous time. By the end, I had begun to resent it. It wasn't that I felt rushed; I allowed myself extra days to play. It was just that the game is such a heart-sinker. It was created by people whose work I've greatly respected, but ReCore just doesn't feel ready for all of us to be playing it.

ReCore will be a welcome blast from the past for some, but others will struggle to come to terms with the more archaic components of the experience.
