You don't see many games starting off less that $50, but this one does and it is a beautiful game. While the first 20min of ReCore are enamoring, the first boss fight will make you want to throw your controller. If that one doesn't I guarantee the second one will. There is a game dynamic called "core extracting" where when you have a baddy down to a certain health you can grapple their core from their body for an "instant kill." The problem is you activate this with the R3 (press in on right stick) and then use the stick to achieve just the right amount of tension to extract. Too little and they snap your cable, too much and you snap your cable. The problem is that with normal enemies this isn't too hard a sweet spot to find, normally. With the big bads it is so frustrating you will want to punch a kitten. Really wish they had gone with a button smash, or button sequence match minigame to do this. Complaint #2 is the loading times. If you like having time to vacuum the living room, do dishes, slop the hog, do your homework, or run a quick errand to the local pharmacy while your game is loading between your character's home, and the open world. This is the game for you. I exaggerate a little, but man there is a lot of loading. Once the loading is done you are in an beautiful mostly open world. The third thing that will have you screaming for mercy is when you step into a part of the world you are not leveled up enough for. There isn't a warning sign or something preventing you from going there. You will just get your butt handed to you repeatedly until you shut the game off and use the disc for a skeet shoot, or you go somewhere else for a while and then you find the long unmarked road around and wonder why it was so hard in the first place. I know this looks like a bad review but I really do like this game. Once you understand the flaws/frustrations you begin to work with them. Story is good, the player is made to care about the main character and pals, and again the game is beautiful. I can forgive a lot for a $20 cheaper game.
