    Game of the year for sure, tied with Forza Horzion 3.

    Incredible campaign so far, the visuals, sounds, storytelling and gameplay makes you want to play 24 hours a day. IGN rated this a 9.2/10, which is better than Uncharted 4.

    Xbox has done it again with a masterpiece.

    Juego para fans, tiene mucha rejugabilidad y la historia es interesante, aunque desde el episodio 1 te das cuenta que onda con los locust. Horda es genial y lo de los emblemas está interesante.

    We get the Forza Horizon 3's oh by the way where's Grand Turismo? I bought a PS4 hoping to get it it and God of War next gen but neither of them showed up and now new consoles are already turning up.

    Boy are Sony sure playing their gamers for fools. No content or just giving you guys content when a new machine releases.

    Weve got everything, Halo and Gears and Forza.

    This game is worth no less than a 10. But Sony fanboys will be Sony fanboys.    … Expand

The graphics are amazing and really push the limits of the xbox one, there are no glitches and it is a technical marvel. The set pieces are incredibly outrageous and really show the epic scale of the game even showcasing the visuals at its optimal. The characters are all badasses except for JD Fenix, the protagonist who is your everyman boyscout, and this is a letdown considering how Marcus was one of the best protagonists in all of gaming, truly badass and undeniably the coolest ever and continues to be so in this game. The others are also pretty good, anyway we also have to put into consideration the fact that this is their first rodeo so of course, they are soft. the gameplay is as satisfying as ever and is more polished, it is easier to bounce in and out of cover and is overall smoother in every other aspect. There is a lot of variation, many enemy types and the AI is much smarter making you actually think where and when to move using which weapon and whatnot. The multiplayer has a few hiccups here and there, it lags from time to time and matches are kinda slow to find, however it looks gorgeous, each map is amazing in its own right and with the patch today its even better now with no lag. I hope that gears will take some tips from halo multiplayer and make it much much better. horde is a treat, very challenging and satisfying. the campaign is a bit short and the story is a bit small scale, you dont feel like as if you're saving the world but the future installments will obviously change that. I really hope they refine the multiplayer a bit more, because it is fun, there is no denying that however, it's very odd to find matches. Maybe i am a but too used to the halo 5 matchmaking but it's flawless and I am sure that with microsoft's backing it is possible to make the match finding more intuitive and overall easier to find. I would rate it a 9 but with the insecure sony fanboys still riding on uncharted 4 rating it zeroes i have to fight back. this game is easily 10 material but i'd give it a few months till it gets to that level.… Expand

Too bad so PS players don't have any fun games to play so they have plenty of time to come on here and tear down a great game. They'll have even more time next year when Project Scorpio comes out. lol lol

    No mais, se você procura um game de muita ação e até mesmo de aventura, esse é o jogo ideal, especialmente para o fãs da franquia como eu que se sentiu muito em casa.

The writing is a step up for the series as well, with more personality given to the new leads (and some good lines to the old), and the ending was a great "WTF" moment as a fan of the series.

    The Horde mode is back and better then ever. Similar to Gears 3's horde mode except a lot more flexible, and it is very fun. I like the new class system and how you can choose different upgrades for them, so if two people are a soldier one can be focused on assault rifle damage while another can focus on other guns and health. The only thing is I wish there were a few more types of bosses, like maybe a few can be put in for dlc.

    The competitive multiplayer is back and fun. I do have a few problems with it though. One, I feel like there could be a few more maps. Some of these maps are simply amazing, maps that I will be playing a lot, but others, while still good, make me want more. Not only that, but I wish there were more social playlist then one that just combines all of them.

    My other big complaint is the store system needs some work. The player earns credits too slowly and the loot (which gives you horde upgrades, versus bounties and cosmetics) is too expensive, plus you can get repeats. If everything were cheaper and you earned a few by your self (like lets say every 20 levels are so) I would be fine, but as it stands it could be better.

    Overall, fantastic game that could have some work with its matchmaking, enemy variety (specifically bosses) and its currency system. I would recommend to any fan of the series or anybody looking for a good shooter, there is definitely $60 worth of content here. If you're not a fan of the series, I would stay away because this won't change your mind.    … Expand

    Gears of War 4 è tutto ciò che i fan potevano aspettarsi, violento, crudo, tamarro. Si spara, si spara tanto e si spara bene. La formala è sempre la stessa: Tps con visuale dietro la schiena leggermente spostata di lato, dove le coperture sono la parte fondamentale dell'azione. Il feedback di ogni arma è magnifico, molte coperture sono distruttibili, e il numero di nemici su schermo diventa altissimo a volte. Sono state implementate anche nuove meccaniche di assassinio, nuove armi come un fucile a pompa che spara due volte con una singola pressione del grilletto e ovviamente una serie di nemici nuovi.
    La storia raccontata, è semplice e di impatto: siamo JD, il figlio di Marcus Fenix, adirati verso il nuovo regime di CoG e verso un padre assente, cerchiamo asilo presso un gruppo di sovversivi, ma una serie di nuove (e vecchie) minacce ci faranno tornare a combattere. La trama da un ottimo pretesto per macinare orde di avversari e il gioco si finisce senza sentire frustazione ne ripetitività, merito anche del gameplay perfetto.
    Graficamente il gioco è superbo, 1080p e 30 fps nel single player e 720p a 60fps nel multi, gli scorci e le ambientazioni sono come sempre pazzesche e l'Unreal Engine fa i soliti miracoli.
    Gears of War 4 è di fatto un ottimo successore della saga, quello che ogni fan voleva,ma che, se non vi sono piaciuti i primi tre capitoli, non ha nessuna carta per farvi cambiare idea o parere.    … Expand

Lo dicho, los movimientos del personaje son un poco ortopédicos.

    El modo campaña es un poco lineal, con grandes tiroteos y momentos de tensión, pero al final es casi siempre lo mismo, cubrirse, disparar, avanzar... y repetir, cambiando únicamente escenarios y enemigos. Y esto puede suponer un problema para jugadores que se aburran rápidamente de hacer casi siempre lo mismo. Claro que, también tiene momentos épicos y muy gratificantes, pero para ver esas cosas hay que jugarlo.

    El modo horda es de los mejores modos cooperativos de la actual generación, no puedes despegar los ojos de la televisión, porque es acción constante, dejando pocos segundos de respiro, donde lo único que puedes hacer es prepararte rápidamente para afrontar la siguiente oleada de monstruos. Sin duda es el mayor atractivo de este juego.

This new Gears game takes the cover-based shooting established in previous Gears titles and ups the ante in a lot of ways. The combat is similar to the other Gears games: there’s the ability to get behind cover and sprint, as well as pulling the enemy over cover and knife executing them, as well as the loadout of four weapons, and a class special ability in Horde mode. While this isn’t quite an inventive game, there’s tons of fun to be had in taking out opponents or interrupting a firefight with a grenade and getting a double kill.

    The controls are top notch. The Xbox One controller is second to none, and this game helps prove that point. I never ran into control issues during my 7 hour campaign run, or my 15 hour horde mode run. Thanks to the superb controls, the combat felt both precise and elegant overall.

    While it’s possible to earn points to spend on in-game items like weapons, upgrades, and items, there’s also a way to spend real world money as well. The season pass supposedly unlocks a good bit of stuff in order to boost your earnings and experience, but I didn't pay for a season pass, so I don't care all that much.

    All in all, the game is a very fun cover based shooter title with lots of replay and gorgeous graphics.    … Expand

    The reason for giving it a 9 instead of 10 is customization. These is were the game fails across the board in my opinion. In Gears of War 3 you have to obtain the characters and weapon skin by doing something in the game and sometimes even on older games. yes there was micro transactions too but it wasn't the only option and made you want it more. Example, in GoW3 you had to gain a certain amount of mvp ribbons to obtain the mvp Cole. So if you see someone with it in multiplayer you would think that he has to be at least a decent player. On the other hand if you see someone with a rare skin in GoW4 so say hey that guy has a lot of luck or money. Yes you still can get it by playing a lot and getting those coins to buy the packages but not everything. Example, the e-sport support package had exclusives skins that you could gamble to get what you wanted for $10 and no other way.    … Expand

Those looking for a brand new eye-catching Gears of War experience have come to the right place with GOW4.

    You, as the titular COG soldier JD Fenix, have to infiltrate the Swarm, taking down hordes of beasts and security robots while hiding behind conveniently placed cover walls.
    The game itself is super enjoyable, thanks mainly to the well-tuned controls. On paper, there’s not too much difference between the way The Coalition has approached Gears 4 and the way Epic approached the other games in the franchise. There's a button for firing, one for reloading, and another for weapon-switching. Fairly standard stuff.

    Where Gears 4 beats the previous games in the franchise is in the polish applied to the controls. Movement is smooth and accurate across the board, while the fact that most combat takes place behind walls means there’s very little strafing and shooting on the run. There’s also no need for extra buttons - cover is handled almost automatically, there’s very little close-combat elements, and absolutely no dashing. You can still roadie run in the new game. The simple controls has the desirable effect of keeping things manageable, even when there are several enemies all gunning for your COG blood.

    Everything about the game, from the graphics and controls right through to the sound, oozes class. Unbelievably, even the voice acting is entertaining, so while the beautiful orchestral soundtrack does get a little tiresome after the 4th hour into the campaign, it’s still cranking the volume to hear the great exchanges between JD and his sarcastic friend, Del.

    Naturally one the big draws is the graphics, there are a lot of very good things to say about the visuals, the textures are detailed and the animations are flawless. The levels and set pieces are very good looking and have an excellent amount of variety. That’s not to say that there isn't a little repetition in the levels, but they are gorgeous and they do vary enough for me to not get tired of any one setting. Set-pieces such as a boss ‘battle’ with a huge swarmac and the excellent variety in the enemies you encounter keep you on your toes throughout.

    There are very few moments in Gears 4 when overall ambition exceeds the final execution. Gears 4 remains the best attempt to recreate the third-person action game we’ve seen on current gen hardware to date, proving that you don’t necessarily have to ditch a genre just because the formula got semi-stale 5 years ago    … Expand

    Only complain is that I miss overrun from judgement.
    And a big thank you for bringing back system link on the xbox one! More developers should learn from this.

    Finished the campaign with my friend over the weekend and we both enjoyed it.
    When it comes down to the core 3rd person cover shooter genre I think this series has the best mechanics and most action packed.
    Even the story is entertaining, like a fun summer action movie.
    One of the best games on Xbox.

    Epic sequel. Incredible showcase for UE4 and Xbox One X, great story, great sound and a perfect innovation on the core game mechanics.

    The only thing I absolutely hate about this game, is that the franchise went from 4 player campaign co-op, down to 2. That kind of sucks for longtime fans of Gears games. Horde mode is great too.

It failed to build connection between players and the characters as they were too shallow except Marcus Fenix. The games starts with fighting against robots, and it doesn't feel as good as killing the real monsters, and I was afraid the game would keep that narrative of outlaws against the government robotic army. Fortunately it didn't and the game got significantly better after the initial chapters. It was a lot more fun to play as the gameplay diversified from chapter to chapter and it was good, but not excellent. They could have done more, but I think they preferred to keep it safe. Probably the risky part they'd dared to make was the robot thing and that was awkward enough. After finishing the campaign I thought to myself: "Hm, nice". It wasn't spectacular, but it was good enough. But after trying the horde mode with my friends, I instantly knew that the game they have built was not focusing at all on the campaign. And I felt a bit disappointed, not by the multiplayer cause it is a lot of fun, but by the notion that I would never be playing a good gears of war campaign anymore. Their focus are on service and online play, not narratives. I feel that if want good narratives I should go look somewhere away from Microsoft.… Expand

So their top priority was proving to fans that they can make a Gears of War game as good as Epic and in that sense, they executed flawlessly.

    Game Genre

    Third-Person Cover Shooter

    Story

    One issue people seem to have is, the series is no longer about Marcus, Dom, Baird or Augustus. It’s now about the next generation, JD (Marcus’ son), Kait and Del. The fourth member of the team is a spoiler so I won’t go into who that is.

    The entire game's premise is Kait’s mother was taken by the enemy and the team's goal is to get her back. So even though the protagonist is JD, the main story ended up being about a side character.

    Favorite Character

    I don’t really know who my favorite character is, none of the 3 really stood out to me.

    JD (James Dominic Fenix)-He reminds me a lot of Nathan Drake but specifically Uncharted 1 Nathan Drake. Few jokes here and there but for the most part a character that is not developed.

    Kait Diaz-She seems like the most self-serious which in fairness to her a very serious thing has happened to her but even before that she was too serious. It’s my main issue with Lara Croft from the rebooted Tomb Raider series. Lighten up a little bit.

    Del Walker-He’s best friends with JD and that’s all there is to say about Del. Occasionally he and JD have a few quips but for the most part he’s a very bland character.

    Puzzles

    No

    Gameplay

    Gears of War is not the creator of cover based shooters but it is the poster child.

    Bosses

    There are bosses but I have never liked the boss battles in the Gears of War franchise. Since a majority of the enemies are already bullet sponges, the boss battles where the enemy has more health doesn’t really improve the game. Then there are the bosses where there is a specific gimmick and my biggest issue with previous entries is the game never did a good job of letting you know what the gimmick actually was. I can’t take tell you how many boss battles I went and started shooting the enemy and I don’t know if I’m correctly widdling the health down on this boss. Its just trial and error and eventually figure it out. The other issue is, once you figure out the gimmick of what you need to do, it’s typically not fun executing it.

    This game does a good job of making it clear what you need to do but the issue is, its typically just not that much fun. Because often times the boss has a ton of health so its time consuming of just dumping a lot of bullets into the boss. But its not just that, you also have to shoot specifics area of the boss which is also not a lot of fun because what happens is you’re standing around waiting for the boss to open up, fire into the specific area. then go back to waiting. Keep doing this for 5 minutes and eventually you’re done.

    Mission/Level Design

    The games gameplay loop is very indicative of previous Gears of War games. Cut scene, then back to gameplay where you walk into an area. Combat arena and then once all the enemies have been killed you hear a sound that sounds like a gong. This lets you know that you have killed all enemies and now it’s time to move onto the next area. The entire game is killing enemies and cutscenes. So if you like the shooting in this game then you’re going to consider it a good game, if you’re not into the shooting then you’re not going to like it.

    Mechanical

    No issues, it ran perfectly.

    Gears of War 4 has the same charm as the original trilogy. The majority of the game mechanics share the same feel as a GOW2 and GOW3 hybrid in multi-player with addition of jumping over cover, pulling from cover with melee knife and a smoother feel that comes with the 60 FPS.

It is an excellent addition to the franchise and is in good hands with The Coalition. I cannot wait to see what the next game in the series brings. Were can the story go from here....… Expand

The online runs at a smooth 60 fps, and the game offers a competitive list of game modes for fun with your friends. The ranking system rewards victories and performances, and in my experience, does a decent job at ranking you against others with similar skill. There are a variety of weapons in the game that lead to some interesting game play, for you will find yourself rushing to claim power weapons like the Dropshot or Embar, but you need to know how to use them in order to be effective. Character models are well-made, although the swarm are sorely lacking in unique models - which are to be added with legacy locust characters eventually.

    Online is awesome but is not without its limitations. The new ranking lobbies seem to act up and disconnect prior to the match start, which is only minor because you can still get into a game with moderate ease. Most combat issues arise with the gnasher shotgun - essentially the main weapon of Gears of War.

    The shotgun tends to be inconsistent, where many people have reported firing point-blank on enemies and doing little to no damage. The coalition has claimed to have addressed this in the march update but so far I have seen little change. Overall the shotgun is manageable, but you will find yourself in situations where it fails you. There are times when I have shot people in the arm or leg and I have seen blood splatter but the enemy has taken no damage. I know this because when someone kills you, there is a damage output shown as to how much damage you had done to your enemy before they killed you. I have shot people 2-3 times with the shotgun, been killed by those people, and then the game told me that I only hit them once. This may be a hit-box issue, but it remains to cleared up. Although there are various character models with small and large builds, the coalition has stated that the hit-boxes remain equal. This could lead to illusions with the gnasher.

    Some game modes offer player spawn-protection which can be abused. Sometimes a player will spawn close to enemies with over six seconds of protection. That player will sprint up and kill others while just soaking-bullets. Other times you can be cheated by having people spawn behind you when the spawns swap.

    I am not too big into horde, but it can be a fun and interesting game mode to play with your friends. It can be used to increase your online level as well. It only runs at 30 fps, which pales to the 60 fps online visuals, but is fun otherwise.

    The story-mode also runs at 30 fps, but provides a simple transition for new characters to enter into the universe. Old Legends return, and seem to outshine the slightly-generic "new gang", but they prove to be capable fighters. The story doe not take any risks, but in turn it does not present any failures - its a fun additional 6-8 hours of content - even more if you have the guts for insane mode. The one major drawback is that its only two-player co-op, which is down two players from Gears 3. Microsoft has had a history of cutting out co-op features like this in games, similar to there being no split-screen co-op in Halo 5: Guardians.

    Overall, Gears of War 4 is a unique and stylized shooter that provides a challenge for the avid gamer. It is difficult to play, so I would not recommend it for the pure recreational players. It can frustrate you at times, but it will provide enough rich blood and guts to keep you playing for days.

    There was a bit more humor in the quips between you and your squad that was surprisingly funny for a game in this genre. JD, Del, and Kate are all great characters that mesh really well together. Not to mention the returning characters we all know and love.

    The gameplay is still fantastic Gears-style cover shooting and the new enemies and weapons make the formula even better. There were a few times when I felt a little bored with one aspect or another, but right around the corner was another new element to bring my attention right back in.

    I also tend to forget that Gears games usually have a really well done horror section or two. The pacing is done in such a way that you aren't always involved in epic firefights, sometimes you are slowly moving through a creepy abandoned area expecting an ambush around every turn.

    It did seem to wrap up and end kind of abruptly, but since they are continuing the story into Gears 5 that makes a bit of sense.

    Overall, excellent and highly recommended!    … Expand

    Okay,ela tinha o direito da franquia,e agora?Quem iria produzir    Porquê Gears of War não está morto!
    Depois de mais de 10 anos de industria,é normal uma franquia se sentir desgastada,depois de Gears of war Judgment,que foi um game medíocre,tanto pra crítica,tanto para os fans,Gears of war temia ser esquecido para sempre,até que em Janeiro de 2014 a Microsoft compra o direito da franquia.
    Okay,ela tinha o direito da franquia,e agora?Quem iria produzir um dos maiores system sellers do xbox?
    Ai que a MS cancelou o desenvolvimento de um jogo misterioso para que o time de desenvolvimento começasse a trabalhar em Gears,Black Tusk Studios,atualmente conhecida como coalition,fez um Remake do primeiro jogo de Gears of war,foi apenas 1 ano de desenvolvimento,muito comum para um titulo refeito,porém,Gears 4 teve apenas mais um ano para trabalhar em um novo titulo,triple A,em um time que nunca trabalhou em um jogo de Gears,Tinha tudo pra dar errado,até que em outubro de 2016 o game saiu,e todo o medo de sair algo ruim foi embora,uma equipe talentosa criou um triple A em apenas um ano,um jogo completo,e com gráficos que extraiam muito do console.
    Oque faz Gears ser tão bom?A jogabilidade,e level design,então ela foi mantida,com apenas algumas novidades,como pular pela cover diretamente,puxar o inimigo para seu lado da cobertura e claro a execução com faca,que vem seguido desses movimentos anteriores,além de poder contra-atacar ataques sobre cover,não adicionam muito,mas são mudanças bem vindas.
    Outra adição são as variações climáticas,não são dinâmicas,mas são um espetáculo de se ver e jogar,essas variações são chamadas de "Windflares" ou tempestade de vento,nela a raios caindo pelo mapa,vento que derruba inimigos,e atrapalham na movimentação,além de pontos específicos no cenário ter interação,destruir objetos laranjas,fazem objetos serem arremessados,assim,você pode usar isso a seu favor para matar os inimigos,é um show de partículas.
    Os novos inimigos são ótimos,uma das melhores adições da saga.
    Pouncer:É uma espécie de lagarto vermelho gigante,sai pulando por ai e solta espinhos pelo rabo,além de pular em cima de você e arrancar sua cabeça.
    Snatcher:É bem parecido com um poucer,só que ainda maior,ele é o responsável pelo enxame(Swarm)Engole suas vitimas e faz um tipo de mutação,dai que sai os "Novos inimigos".
    Carrier:É parecido com a Berserker,só que sem as pernas,uma esponja de balas e só recebe dano quando toma tiro no peito ao abrir para atacar com espécies de nemacyst Swarm(Basicamente uma seeder com berseker)
    Além dos novos inimigos Swarms,temos os Deebees,robôs da COG fabricados para defesa do cidadão,mas são letais...Já que você não é um cidadão.
    Deebee´s comuns:Snipers,SMG´s,são humanoides.
    Guadian:Drone com escudo e armas poderosas,tanto explosivas,tanto de alta cadencia.
    Tracker:São os tickers...Só que robôs.
    Armas:
    Dropshot:uma especie de atirador de Brocas usada pra escavação.(Arma improvisada.)
    Buzzkill:Lança serras(Arma improvisada)
    Enforcer:SMG
    Embar:Nova Sniper
    Overkill:Shotgun de rajadas.
    Granada de shock:*
    Enredo:Os personagens não são tão bons quanto os da trilogia original,o personagem principal JD fica atras em muito dos outros,Del e Kate.
    O começo da campanha,é desinteressante,mas a partir do ataque ao vilarejo,onde é mostrado uma das melhores e mais pesadas Cutscenes da saga,o jogo começa a brilhar,tudo parece muito familiar,e você sente que Gears esta de volta com tudo,e em boas,mãos,um pequeno deslize acontece durante os momentos de horda,que foram herdados de Gears J. são desnecessários,tediosos,não deveriam se quer existir e quebra todo o clima de ação.
    O final é épico,além de algo diferente de tudo que já jogamos em Gears,controlar robôs gigantes é sensacional,o mais interessante é que mantiveram a gameplay até nesses momentos,O chefe final foi inserido sem propósito algum,não tem o mesmo peso de General Raam,O Cliff Harger é de explodir cabeças,um ótimo ponte,e explica o porque a mãe de Kate ser contra a COG,porém terminou de forma abrupta.
    Quanto ao multiplayer,não tem muito oque dizer,mantem-se o mesmo com a diferença dos novos movimentos explicados anteriormente,Corre 60FPS,porém o modo horda é a 30FPS.
    Um ponto a destacar é que o jogo não é tão bonito quanto a versão remasterizada do Gears 1,o modelo dos personagens não são tão ricos em detalhes e tem delay de renderização por toda parte.
    Modo horda foi o verdadeiro destaque,está incrível e completo,você pode montar sua base da forma que quiser,sem limitações,as classes foram muito bem vindas e todas tem sua função,Não vejo como eles poderiam melhorar.
    Gears of war 4 é sem duvidas uma respirar aliviado dos fans,embora os personagens não sejam muito bons e level design seja muito linear,foi uma das melhores experiências de gears em tempos.

After passing you catch yourself on the moment that the 4 part is the best in the series if you forget the unique 2 part. Gameplay has been transformed by the kind of little things that most developers don 't pay attention to, an idea with the interaction of different items on the map during a storm is beautiful. Overall I got one pleasure from the game. The only thing that saddens is that the underreporting of history is visible, it feels like GOW4 is just the beginning of a new story.… Expand

Since then, I've put 31 hours into the game, completing the campaign twice and reaching level 24 as of this review. After all this time, I've loved nearly everything of this game. This is not a perfect game, and probably should be an 8 or a 9, but I put a 10 to try to balance the score.

    Pros:
    1. Great gameplay if you are into gears or 3rd persons shooters.
    2. Very solid Campaign, that has great graphics and fairly interesting scenarios
    3. Marcus Phoenix returns!
    4. Multiplayer is some of the most fun of all time.
    5. Maybe Xbox's best Multiplayer game, aside from Halo MCC after its recent patches.

    Cons:
    1. Story plays it too safe and has a bit too many cliches.
    2. Microtransactions, quite a lot, that I am pretty sure are all cosmetic, at least I haven't seen anyone that gives you a competitive edge.
    3. Season pass

    So overall, this game is worth it if you are able to look beyond the story, microtransactions/season pass. Well after all my praise, is this the best Gears of War? Well, simply put, I've only played this and Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. This is by far better than Gears of War: Ultimate Edition in my opinion though.    … Expand

    With "Gears of War 4", The Coalition have proved themselves worthy of inheriting the franchise from Epic Games. I'm sure it would make series creator Cliff Bleszinski proud. In many ways, this is the video game equivalent of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". It sets the stage up for another war between the COG and the Locust decades after the previous trilogy ended. Lighter in tone, butWith "Gears of War 4", The Coalition have proved themselves worthy of inheriting the franchise from Epic Games. I'm sure it would make series creator Cliff Bleszinski proud. In many ways, this is the video game equivalent of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". It sets the stage up for another war between the COG and the Locust decades after the previous trilogy ended. Lighter in tone, but equally brutal as its predecessors, "Gears 4" is a good title that captures the classic feel of the series. While the campaign can get repetitive, it never ceases to be an entertaining action ride. The story follows Marcus Fenix's youthful son and his two best friends on a journey that eventually leads them into a conflict with a new generation of evolved Locust creatures.

    The campaign relies more on cutscenes than ever before and the stunning CGI animation gives it a highly cinematic feel. I liked the new weapons which include a rifle that fires ricocheting saw blades and a submachine gun that resembles the SMG from "Halo 2". Gameplay is classic "Gears" with plenty of scripted events that are reminiscent of Hollywood action movies. The game also now features advanced enemy A.I. and a weather system that affects combat with strong winds and debris. The only disappointments come in a few "rinse and repeat" segments and the sudden ending to the story. It concludes very much like "The Matrix Reloaded" as the game just stops, rather than ending on a proper note.

    The competitive multiplayer modes are standard "Gears" with some maps pulled from previous titles. More "Rainbow Six" than "Call of Duty", the matches rely on fast-paced, tactical action. Customization options are there, but limited to weapon and uniform skins. Some players will be more impressed with the new "Horde" mode. Horde 2.0 includes the soldier classes which were introduced in the "Judgment" prequel. As you rank up, the special abilities of each solider type are upgraded. There are 50 levels in Horde, but the difficulty quickly increases due to the more aggressive enemies who use advanced tactics to kill you. Both Horde and competitive multiplayer include the new card system which either increase various stats or help you earn more points by completing challenges.

    "Gears of War 4" is a satisfying title in the franchise. A massive improvement over "Gears of War: Judgment", it still doesn't best the original trilogy in terms of creativity, but it's a great start to a new series of games. I especially liked the campaign's humor which seems to be inspired by "Guardians of the Galaxy" or Sony's "Uncharted" series. Long time fans will definitely feel at home with this and newbies will find it to be a real blast. Overall, I'd rank this with an 8.4 out of 10.    … Expand

    There are few games that capture the electric, pulse racing feeling of softening up a blood thirsty monster from behind cover before charging towards the enemy and slicing it in half with a chainsaw. That originality is what makes the Gears franchise so special. Sure there are an abundance of third person shooters but none manage to incorporate strategy, fluid gameplay and creative weaponsThere are few games that capture the electric, pulse racing feeling of softening up a blood thirsty monster from behind cover before charging towards the enemy and slicing it in half with a chainsaw. That originality is what makes the Gears franchise so special. Sure there are an abundance of third person shooters but none manage to incorporate strategy, fluid gameplay and creative weapons in the same way as Gears Of War. So you can understand where my expectation were for number four and I'm glad to say that neither I nor my heart were disappointed.
    After a series of flashbacks to the previous games that proves as your tutorial Gears 4 drops you right in the middle of a destructive, wisecracking, jolly party of friends as they launch a raid on your typical Military corporation. Gears 4 embraces taking new strides and the first of many is with the new enemies called deebee's. Functionally they are the same as the familiar locusts' but manage to showcase the cleverness and sharpness of the Game's AI. They rush from behind cover, flank you, eliminate your friends first so that there's is nobody to revive you and use the new weapons effectively. Many of these weapons cater to the two different types of players. Ones who opt for close combat will find double firing shotguns and machine guns with a large ammo capacity. But ones who are more reclusive shall find plenty of Snipe Rifles, grenades and some Special Weapons like the Buzzsaw, which literally fires saw blades. Some weapons have great strengths but also weaknesses such as having to mount them in place. But what this does is make you use your strategy effectively to beat the level.
    Boss fights in this game are also handles quite well, most of them require you to shoot weak points before delivering some classic heavy damage. But a lot of them have their own traits that make it harder for them to fight. Some might try and pounce on top of you while others will hover above your head.
    As for the story in the game I found it to be the weaker side of things, I do enjoy many of the characters wether it be old man Marcus or the loveable Oscar, who is not hungover but still drunk. I found that most characters actually progressing and evolving as the Story continued which was a genuine surprise. That being said the ending to this game is unfortunately non existent. The game seems to abruptly end on a bitter note with no suggestion of what the characters are to do next.
    Thankfully Multiplayer is still a stand out feature in this game, matchmaking is quick and easy and the game offers a variety of game modes with fast paced and intense action. Success will depend on your reflexes, mobility and use of weapons. Thankfully the game includes new moves that make Gameplay more interesting such as the ability to vault over cover while an enemy is on the other side. This temporarily dazes them and allows for a swift knife kill.
    Even with the xbox one X on the horizon, gears of war has never looked better. The explosive and gory gameplay visually shines like a detailed painting and all the destroyed beauty of towns and facilities you explore adds to the atmosphere.
    I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy this game, but I would be also lying if I said it was the best in the series. I do think that the Story and some minor gameplay tropes are weak but given all the good in it there is no lie in saying that I enjoyed the blood, guts, gore and so much more.    … Expand

    The Coalition has managed to successfully bring every great elements from previous games into a new setting. Whether you go for single-player, multiplayer or horde mode, GoW4 hast plenty to offer. The visuals are stunning and the gameplay is the best in the series thus far; and despite shortcomings in the story and development of characters, GoW4 is easily one of the best third-person shooters of this generation.
