Easy to learn, hard to master. It's all about getting used to the mechanics and maps - once you master these two that's when you discover the full potential of Deadcore. The game gives an unprecedented amount of freedom, at least for a platformer which consists of going from Point A to Point B. Initially you might feel limited but in later playthroughs things become about figuring out the fastest and best route; times will drastically decrease and there's a satisfaction to it.

Deadcore has its rough edges though. Robots can be insanely annoying considering you have limited ammo which only reloads after touching a checkpoint and they can easily screw a run if you don't have the aim. My biggest issue with the game is the framerate - sometimes it lags like crazy, making it borderline unplayable albeit I must confess they've nailed the atmosphere. Even in 2020, it's still worthy of few screenshots and for an 'indie' game that's actually impressive.

In my opinion this is one of the best first-person platformer games out there.
