E3 2016: 7 Ups & 5 Downs From Microsoft's Conference

11. ReCore Looks Surprisingly Mediocre

ReCore was first announced at E3 last year and immediately caught the attention of many for being a new IP that truly seemed to be driven by some imaginative visuals and the bond between the female protagonist and her robotic dog companion.

This year, a new trailer dropped, showing off some gameplay glimpses, though unfortunately it all looked pretty, well, "meh".

The visuals, combat and traversal gameplay simply look unremarkable and pretty far away from the promising new IP we were shown last year. There's a strong feeling here that this could end up being a bust if it retails at a high price point, as it seems much less robust than we had been led to previously believe.
