Recore? I played it a few years ago for the first time since its on game pass, it was.... Ok
I think it came out around the release of the Xbox 360
It was kinda cute, you had little robot companions, the combat was simple delt with colors, you matched them in order to do damage I think. You hovered around this desert post apocalypse area of earth (or maybe it was a planet to be settled for humanity). There were puzzles, some traversal and platforming to do, gameplay was a 3rd person shooter, and you could do like a finisher to rip the core out of enemies to end the fight quicker but also get their core to upgrade your stuff.
But I remember being a little upset at the ending, the story ends in a sorta downer cliff hanger thing, never to have a sequel.
Omg your right lol it feels so much longer ago
