- Log: Press reviews from the web - 13 September 2021
Analyzing press review… Processing… Data found… Sort Files The Gamer “Speaking of which, although Recompile is remarkable for a variety of reasons, the game’s art is out of this world. It's one thing to establish a distinct, technophilic aesthetic that clearly articulates your presence as a program in a machine.” Screen rant “Recompile is a stunning experience that is addictive and immersive despite its faults, however.
