Recompile is a deeply moving, if not somewhat hopeless, tale and platformer about the state of humanity versus machine.
XBA says: An interesting and unique concept, Recompile might be a program you'd like to execute.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Recompile is a great idea in concept. It surely is unique when it comes to its setting, visuals, and its “blink and you’ll miss it” story (in more ways than one when it comes to the latter), but as a game itself, it suffers from a myriad of issues that ended up hampering my enjoyment with it. None of the issues were game-breaking, but when piled up altogether, resulted in a barrage of inconveniences that just made me not to want to play the game for long periods of time."
Cade writes: "The moment-to-moment gameplay is a blast and the visuals really are a sight to behold. However, unless you’re a super completionist, you may not want to stick around with Recompile much longer than taking a quick peek since the story, frustrating design choices, and disappointing boss fights can drag the experience down."
