Are they supporting the game via patches and bug fixes? If so, I'll definitely try it out. I don't want to fall in love with a buggy mess that will forever remain as such.
There was a big one today.

Any reason why I can't select a resolution past 1080 and why the game renders only at 720p despite selecting 1080p? I have a 4k TV btw

Also does anyone know if I buy now, will my progress carry over?
Yeah. You are playing the full game now already really. Just a time limit on it.
Were you able to do any platforming like this in the demo?
Impressive Ass Platforming
This looks to be the most interesting part of the game to me.

Downloading now. I'll provide some impressions later.

You won't get to any dungeons like that in the first half an hour, sorry. I've only tried a couple of those traversal dungeons and while they can drive you fucking INSANE trying to get all the objectives, it's unbelievably satisfying when you finally get it done.
The best part is that, apart from some respawn points being stupidly and unforgivably broken (although I think they are patching those?), the controls are tight enough that if you die while platforming it's almost always because you made a mistake and not the game screwing you over.
Think you can get arround 150 easy in 30 min.
ha yeah ended up with 130... but, more importantly, i ended up liking the game more than i thought i would. may end up buying it. (i assume that was the point of the trial.. so... mission accomplished ms... lol.)

Agree completely, and that's a really helpful video. From 0:33 to 0:38, you can see how the grappling hook works: when the player orients Joule so that the target (a yellow dot on those rails that the player is traversing) comes closer to the middle of the screen, the 'attach' icon appears, and the player can press 'X' to attach to the rail.
But from 2:40 to 2:45, the player waits too long to orient Joule towards the rail, and thus almost misses his chance to attach: you'll see that the 'attach' icon appeared for only the briefest fraction of a second (at the top-left of the screen, around 2:44), just as the player was about to fall to his death. But you'll also notice that Joule's orientation was entirely under his control during this time: his nearness to death in this case was due to his delay (he might have been rushing just a bit, under pressure) in orienting Joule toward the target, but as soon as he re-oriented himself in the right direction, the 'attach' icon appeared.
As he notes in the comments: "Just so you know how difficult this is. Have to do this under 3 mins, shoot all 10 switches, and collect the hidden yellow key. All in a single run. Hard. But good hard. I miss quality platforming. -Brad"
That's pretty far into the game, so that's a no for the demo. The final area has more crazy stuff than what's going on there.
Again, if the platform mechanics and exploration grab you I'd highly recommend it.

Cool. I'll definitely check it out then. Thanks!

30 minutes really isn't enough, they should end it when you get through the first dungeon. It's a fun game, it has its flaws, but I still really enjoyed it.

....but I finished the first dungeon, got back to home base and fixed my dog, and got well into the next area in the 30 minutes. I felt like 30 minutes was a good taste and I want to play the rest now. I liked it faaaar more than I thought I would. Definitely going to pick it up soon. (After I finish Gears 4)

Fun game, tight controls.
Where is the location of the download? And can I change it to another drive?

No 21:9 is pretty disappointing, especially considering that mods can't even fix it.

Also, how the heck do you display FPS in Windows games? FRAPS doesn't work.

I love this game. So glad I got to try the 30-minute trial. The reviews (specifically framerate/graphics stuff) scared me off, but I can't say I agree with them at all. Really, really enjoying this right now.
I'll probably pick it up this weekend.

Technically, Windows has this feature
Windows Settings -> System -> Apps & features -> click app, click move
But it's ass and I've never seen it work on any UWP game I've tried
DXtory is the only program that works. Heres a download link:

Alright, my free trial just ended. Here are my thoughts.
The character controls very well and quite smoothly. I always felt like I was in control, and the platforming was precise. Overall, the player character just felt great to control. I also enjoyed the way she interacted with her mechanical dog companion; it was very cute.
The combat wasn't awful, but it's also not compelling or interesting. In fact, it's not challenging at all. I could sense that it would get very tiring as the game wears on. However, like the character's movements, shooting felt seamless enough that it would never outright become horrible. Very mixed bag here, and I can say that if the platforming doesn't largely carry the experience in interesting ways, it will become old quickly.
The environment in the trial I played was pretty bland and largely devoid of interesting level design. The character design is definitely the highlight here, though that's ultimately inconsequential.
The game's musical score is delightful and fits right at home with the game's aesthetic. This was a highlight of 30-minute session.
I walked away with mixed feelings. I'd like to give the full game a spin to confirm my suspicions or have them totally repudiated, but not until I can acquire it at a deep discount.

I was almost sold on the game after Jeff's and Brad's opinions on the bombcast. And if they're doing any sorts of corrections at all via updates then I think I'll bite soon enough.
While the combat never really becomes super deep, it does get more interesting as the game progresses. Ultimately you'll have three ammo colours to switch between (fights will usually involve multiple enemy colours, so you'll be constantly switching on the fly), a charge shot for each that also stuns, two hot-swappable corebot pals at any one time who each have their own "lethal" attacks to use, and your extractor, which can be used to interrupt attacks as well as extract cores.
The most intense combat scenarios will be as much about movement and positioning as firepower though, and the real challenge becomes juggling your offensive abilities while dodging attacks and dashing in and out of danger.
Ehh, I wouldn't say the game goes to shit a few hours in. The
story does, and the pacing gets kinda rocky

Spent 5 minutes of my 30 minute trial trying to setup the video settings still can't get higher than a 720p option on my 1440p monitor....

Had fun with the trial. Ended up getting the red ammo and the second mysterious core at the phylon before it cut off 3 seconds later. I could see myself picking it up later, hopefully around black Friday.
Theres probably even less people with 21:9 screens then 4K HDTV's...so probably not
This is a pretty big deal to me now. Hard to buy games without 21:9 support (for premium prices) these days. The game has to be really good (Overwatch is the last one) for me to overlook having the black bars on the side.

For specific feedback on the latest update, worth taking a look at the following post from reddit, and/or perhaps a few of the 153 responses: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/55ynsb/anyone_on_the_fence_should_buy_recore_now_great/
Some excerpts from the OP:
FlameCats @ reddit said:
Here's the official description of the two patches that have been released so far:
09/22/16: Patch #1 Xbox One
10/04/16: Patch #2 Xbox One & PC
Incidentally, the OP at reddit has a take on the combat (and a sense of humor) that closely matches PaulloDEC's (or perhaps the core puns are just irresistible):

Why the hell won't this game go higher than 720p?
Also, the timer is bogus. I ended the game, a notification popped up and said 11 minutes left. Returned to the game a few minutes later (I was trying to figure out why the hell it was stuck at 720p) and it started up stating I had 8 minutes left.
Bullocks.
I'll try the game out another time I guess.

Was sold on the demo last night that I bought the game as spins as my time was up.
It's a pretty laid back platformer, nothing is too difficult.
Although took me ages to defeat the first boss coz I didn't realise the extractor is like a fishing rope and you gotta reel em in by wobbling the right stick essentially!
All in all, I'm like looking forward to getting home and relaxing with recore this evening!

That's the most difficult dungeon. I completed it recently. It does not unlock until the last part of the game.
If you love platform games that require some good skill, Recore has a lot to offer.
