PS2 game trapped in 2017. The definitive edition is a good update that fixed most complaints people had with the original game. ReCore consists of different areas to explore, and you can find upgrades for your robot companions and search out other collectibles. Each area also has multiple dungeons. Combat consists of matching the color of the bullets you're firing to the color of the enemies; doing so boosts the damage done. The platforming is also really good, and exploring the world is rewarding yet fun enough on its own with many traversal options such as gliding, double jumping, boosts, and latching onto climable walls. The final dungeon is a bit lame and stretched out, but it's not as bad as people say. The biggest complaint I see is areas being blocked off for not having enough of a certain collectable; even the final boss will be if you don't have enough. Personally, getting them wasn't hard or tedious, but how many you needed also could have been lowered a bit. The plot sort of exists, but it serves more as a backdrop for the world around you. It took me 15 hours to beat the game, and it is definitely worth the playthrough.
