  • DeadCore doesn’t quite knock Portal off its podium but it offers a wild, well-paced, otherworldly ride that is well worth taking.

  • All in all, DeadCore is not a very good game. While it’s $7.99 price point may be appealing at first glance, it pains me to say that it quickly descends into a incredibly boring, and clunky jump-fest, with its only saving grace being its theme and atmosphere.

  • For those who want a challenging platforming title on the PS4, DeadCore is right up your alley. For casual gamers out there, I would recommend going elsewhere.

  • By all means, Deadcore is a competent game. First-person parkour feels more natural than third-person, but simple things like the lack of a mantle mechanic and the weapon being flatter than a pancake mean failing becomes an annoyance to replay sections rather than a blessing.

  • Challenge fiends may still have a good time with DeadCore, although in its current state I would be reluctant to recommend the console port over the PC version – if you have one. Originally a project by a fledgling group of five young French developers, DeadCore shows some promise as a platforming first title: the basic mechanics are generally good and fun to use. It’s a shame the game is entirely let down by poor controls and sometimes cheap challenge design, both of which are at odds with the game’s speedrunning ethos.

  • Overall, Deadcore is good if you are specifically looking for speed-run game with a cool aesthetic. But for those looking for a little more substance and engagement should search elsewhere; but I can’t knock this game too hard for not being something else.

  • There may be times when DeadCore will drive you to distraction - but no matter how often you fall, get blasted, electrocuted or lasered, you’ll find yourself coming back for ‘just one more try’. I’m now going to put a plaster over the teeth marks on my fist, turn the TV up to hide my profanities, and give it another attempt.

  • There’s a good concept to DeadCore, and for the most part, it’s one that feels pretty well executed. It’s no looker, and the PS4’s controller lacks the dexterity needed to truly master the platform puzzlin’, runnin’ and gunnin’ DeadCore offers, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something enjoyable and challenging to glean from this console version.

    Deadcore es un intento bastante bien llevado de homenajear grandes de las plataformas del siglo XXI. El parkour, la necesidad constante de cálculo y los puzzles son los ingredientes de una experiencia que habría sido mejor si el control hubiese pasado a consola de manera más satisfactoria. Buen título, pero no todo lo pulido que habría sido necesario.

  • Su elevada dificultad y lo inteligente en el diseño de sus niveles hacen de DeadCore un muy buen juego de plataformas y puzles en primera persona que, con el frenetismo y la intensidad de su acción por bandera, os atrapará con sus despiadadas trampas mortales y la vistosidad de sus entornos. Tratar de mejorar las marcas en el modo Speedrun supone, además, una buena forma de alargar su vida durante muchas horas.

About the game


After an endless fall through powerful magnetic storms... you awaken.

Your memory erased, you start exploring the world around you. Someone or something is pushing you higher and higher.
Suddenly, you spot the most gigantic Tower emerging from the mists. You soon understand that to get the answers to your questions... you have to climb its summit.

However, this is no easy feat. The Tower is protected by a high-tec
h security system made up of complex mechanisms, fatal lasers, and robots constantly tracking your every move.

If you are to survive, you'll need to use all your skills (jumping, double-jumping, dashing etc. ) and make good use of your SwitchGun, that can be used to enable or disable traps and robots in order to reach the top of the Tower and uncover the secrets of its origins.
