    Gears of War: Reloaded is not a remake, but it’s a good re-release for Steam and PS5. I guess they are preparing the public for E-day, which is a prequel to this game. Now, this is not a critique, since I’ve relived my old Xbox 360 days with this release and I could not be happier. The biggest improvement from my point of view was the audio, which was assaulting my ears in a good way throughout the campaign. The multiplayer revival was also fun, and it did bring back the old-school feel of this game. The only things this release is missing are the second and third game.

    Gears of War Reloaded is a masterclass in how to bring a classic game into the modern era. The title comes packed with an impressive suite of new technologies and removes all the barriers in its PC version. On top of that, the game runs smoothly on the Steam Deck, showcasing its impressive scalability. It’s practically a development handbook that more studios should follow when it comes to preserving legendary franchises.

    Updates to the backend and visuals as well as cross platform play and progression make Gears of War: Reloaded the true 'Ultimate Edition' of Gears of War.

    The renewed legend is once again trying to win the hearts of players - both older and younger. It still manages to entertain and stands solidly alongside current shooters. But it doesn't bring any surprises. It will be appreciated mainly by console players.

    Gears of War’s second remaster isn’t a substantial makeover, and some rough edges linger, but small improvements pile up to make Reloaded the best way to experience a modern classic.

    A solid and (hopefully) definitive remake of an action classic that can't hide its age.

    Gears of War: Reloaded looks good. The remaster is definitely worth playing through once — out of curiosity. It's just a shame that various bugs can spoil the fun.
