Microsoft exclusive ReCore strives to be light but meaningful

ReCore is one of Microsoft’s biggest exclusives for the rest of year. It comes out on September 13 for Xbox One and PC. Exclusives can help a console stand out for the competition, which is especially important for the Xbox One as it looks to battle the better-selling PlayStation 4 this holiday season.

ReCore is an action-platformer about a girl and her robot friends. Although it has plenty of shooting, it has a lighter tone than you’d usually see in similar games. It helps that your targets are robots instead of blood-and-guts-filled humans or robots.
