How the heck do you get that much in rewards?
I think I'm averaging about $5 a week. You can cut that time down by purchasing stuff on Windows & Microsoft Stores.com. I use the Bing Rewards App on my Lumia 640. I've also installed the Bing Rewards extension in Chrome. I would use Edge for more rewards, but like Chrome too much. At least browsing on my phone & Xbox count towards using Edge though.

if your doing digital only just set up a rewards account with an address in the states .
I get 4-5 a week. I also use multiple accounts. So I have one on chrome browser to just get the daily desktop points which is like 1-3 bucks a week and one on my surface gets like 2-4 a week
yup . you get points when you spend the mircosoft gift cards also !
edit
also remember if your level 1 you can only do 50 points a day on the desktop. Level 2 is 250 per day. You also get more quizzes and stuff at level 2 plus a discount . So like a $10 gift card to windows store is 10,000 points at level 1 but only 9,300 at level 2 .
Today is double point day Thur and will be through the rest of sept. You get to level 2 by getting 500 points a month. So if you start today I think tomorrow you will be level 2

Played this a bit more and discovered a few things. The game has what it considers to be 3 different style of dungeons:
A few dungeons later I came across a Traversal Dungeon. There was no fighting involved. The experience was all about platforming to get from the beginning to the end. There are 3 secondary objects for Traversal Dungeons:
For each secondary object you complete you get a little bonus at the end of the dungeon. If you get all 3 secondaries in the same run you get a 4th bonus at the end. In the two I played it was either a mini-stash box full of items or blueprints to craft new sidekick body parts (Activate all 8 switches), or a secondary Prismatic Core (Yellow Key Collection). The activation of the switches was shooting floating bots with the appropriate weapon rifle color.
I have not experienced an Arena Dungeon yet.
EDIT: Here is a video I found which gives a brief look at some various bits of the game.
At 0:44 the world map (as you know it) is shown
At 1:07 the beginning of a Traversal Dungeon is shown as well as the 3 secondary objectives.
At 1:10 and 1:13 the activation of two Switches are shown by shooting them.
At 1:15 the finding of the Yellow Key begins.
At 1:23 the end of the dungeon and awards are presented, the first room is for completion time, the second for yellow key, and third for all 8 switch activations, with 4th award being for hitting all 3.

Now I'll focus on a few downsides to the game, to give a fuller picture to show not everything is rosey.
The game takes longer than other games to load areas. This isn't that much of an issue to me since it happens in limited situations, but it does break the immersion :
Some users have had issues with glitchy achievements. There are some currently unobtainable achievement(s) as the last frame blueprint isnt in the game yet. There's talk about there being a patch / free DLC that will resolve that issue. There are a few collection achievements (collect all the parts) which some may find grindy and annoying. It doesnt seem nearly as bad as Assassin's Creed 1 collect all the flags or Crackdowns collect all the orbs. I pay attention to achievements but these haven't impacted my game play experience or make me avoid the game.
It's different enough from the typical games out that it comes off refreshing and unique and I'm glad I have it in my library. It's a bonus that I have it on the PC as well since it's an XBox Play Anywhere title.
Is it perfect? No.
Is it fun? Yes.
Is it enjoyable? Yes.
Do I want to keep playing it? Yes.
Is it worth $32? Absolutely.
Is it worth $36? Yes.
Is it worth $40 to others? Possibly.
Would I buy a sequel? Yes.

- when you enter or leave your crawler to craft or change frames for your sidekick.
- when you transition from in or out of dungeons
- when you transition from one large outdoor area to another
- when you die

Thanks Brit...very detailed. I've decided to wait for a patch (2nd) to see if some the issues you mentioned above are fixed.
I probably will go digital for that xpa goodness which is weird for me as I'm usually a physical disc kind of person. Games with Gold is changing my mind on that though as I have a large library now without taking shelf space.

Just played through the Trial time period which is free for a limited time.
Definitely going to buy this title at a later date, just too many games I've paid for and not invested time into. Definitely need to clear some backlog and make space for this title.

For those who were looking to pick this game up later, now might be the time to do so. The Microsoft store has the Play Anywhere version (digital download code) available for $15: https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/ReCore-for-Xbox-One/productID.5059012200
I'm a little salty as I bought Recore at Walmart for $15, but wanted the digital version instead for the same price. I figured the $5 difference wasn't worth getting it on the Xbox Live store for $20, but since the game is xpa, I would've liked to have gotten it on the microsoft store for the same price...sigh.
Definitely now going to buy this after seeing this platforming happen. Wow.

Finally decided to play this game. It was just sitting on my shelf mocking me everyday.
I really like it so far, but damn is that first boss kicking my butt. I'm not too far in as I only got 2 core bots out of 5.
I guess you get a double dash ability later as seen in that video iroboto posted.
I was thinking of waiting for Scorpio for maybe a more stable framerate, although on X1 it isn't terrible, but my backlog is growing so fast that I needed to pare it back some.

you should wait for the free dlc that includes a new robot its supposed to make the game much better and should be launching soon
