I didn't expect ReCore to be quite as big as it is, and from the looks of things, it's possible its developers didn't either. Its world, while interesting to explore for a good while, is ultimately too big with too little happening in it to be a totally s...
Abstract: With names like Keiji 'Mega Man' Inafune and the director of Metroid Prime in ReCore's credit list, you'd hope that Microsoft's latest Xbox One exclusive would somehow mesh together to create the perfect run-and-gun Metroidvania game. However, with thirt...

Abstract: ReCore impressed audiences with its announcement trailer back during E3 2015, promising to be one of the first truly interesting new IP's to make its way onto the Xbox One. Not only did the game bring a splash of artistic ingenuity to the console that had...
