    Great game on its own right, although one of the worst in the Gears franchise. It still earns an 8, which is a great credit to the rest of the Gears games.

    This game is no as bad as people said.
    True, it is not as dark and damp ad the first trilogy, but I like the new colorful aesthetics.
    This game is better than number 5.

    Um ótimo jogo com gráficos lindos, eu acho que o que mais me chama atenção são seus cenários absurdamente lindos, todas as paisagens são ótimas de se admirar, fora o multiplayer que me rendeu muitas horas de diversão.

    This was my first Gears game and I really loved it, the sorry was very sad and at some points, I almost cried especially at the end.

    Pros:
    Great story
    Great visuals
    Good gameplay

    Cons:
    Fights are very repetitive and get boring

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    This game is perfect in every way but for 20 dollars is 9 hours terrible. The game play is good but for 9 hours? The story isnt that intriguing that i would pay 20 dollars for that. The game is very good and graphics are also pritty good. I had a lot of ammo trouble to the point that i would rage quit for 2 days and then come back and fail again on easy difficulty.

    El modo horda es bueno, pero los enemigos siguen siendo mas que algo que debes planear como enfrentar solo esponjas de daño las cuales se limitan a estar parados disparando directamente confaidos en que ganaran ya que recisten hasta 12 segundos de daño consecutivo sin parar.
    La unca "tactica" que te incentiva a cambiar de cobertura como en anteriores entregas de la saga es que los enemigos se lanzan cual Kamikase hacia ti resistiendo todo el daño para luego eliminarte de un solo golpe, todo esto un tiempo aproximado de 0.5 a 3 segundos, siendo una jugabilidad injusta a menos de que lo juegues en las minimas dificultades.
    Teniendo mas protagonismo la suerte de que las balas no te den a tu capacidad para resolver problemas en situaciones apremiantes.

    Por otro lado los protagonistas carecen de alma o carisma a especion de un par de secundarios, y el diseño de los enemigos es muy bueno visualmente, pero esto no puede zolapar el pesimo gameplay que han creado.

    It’s a fun game with a great story and great characters, it’s also super funny. If you have game pass playing this along with the other gears games is a no brainer. If you have a Xbox and have been on the fence about gears 4, I say do it! You won’t regret it!

    This game is clearly getting review bombed by PlayStation fans. The Xbox store has it at a 4.5/5 stars. Critics also loved it. This game is criminally overlooked.

    GoW in general is very nostalgic for me, especially GoW2.
    Sadly, for me that is, I still have lag to annoy me in GoW4, however there are different pros and cons this time.
    - Story Mode Most lame GoW story, with the exception of GoW5 with the "POLITICAL MESSAGE". I honesty didn't hate nor liked it. It's flat. Much like its characters. Much like its "new enemies" but with no variety.

    - Story Mode
    Most lame GoW story, with the exception of GoW5 with the "POLITICAL MESSAGE".
    I honesty didn't hate nor liked it. It's flat.
    Much like its characters.
    Much like its "new enemies" but with no variety.
    The main issue is that the developers had no clue how to make GoW again, since the Locust were defeated.
    So instead making different enemies (like DB-Robots vs GOG), the tried to half ass their way to create a "new war" with the Swarm.

    Now, the swarm, have barely no explanation for their existence and the game doesn't even at least display difference from the Locust.
    They all go with skirts with shotguns screaming "human" instead of "ground walker".
    There's literally nothing. Even the enemy that holds the Bow has no unique look to him.
    Just a skirt and a hoodie.

    The main "new" characters are .. K, I guess.
    Kait looks cute (and in 5 looks like a FemiNazi)
    JD Fenix is really bland and doesn't represent the GoW theme.
    And Del.... is Finn for the new Star wars.

    I have nothing to say, just play story once and leave it there.

    - Versus
    Sweaty, Snarky and lots of old school MLG culture.
    It's amazing how Halo, who once was flooded with the MLG culture, is now filled with a different community (for the better), but Gears kept both it's original audience + Esports culture.
    I couldn't become an expect Gears play, since the Shotgun meta essentially revolved around connection speed and too much sweat.
    Back in Gears 2 + 3, I just rocked the HammerBurst.
    Now, since the sweaty community remained unlike the rest of us, the Hammerburst was removed from the default weapons category, and went back to be a power weapon.
    The power of the community man.... it's something

    - Horde (the reason why I still play this)
    Gears 2's horde was... whatever
    Gears 3's horde was in the right direction

    And 4 just brings a whole new way to play Gears4 with the classes and fortification.
    I honestly wish I could have my own premade team for harder difficulties of Horde, but I'm old now.
    But It's fine, since I can play Normal mode casually and have my 2 hours fun.

    The only issue is really with the playbase for horde, when total noobs join in, or mid quitters quit in the first rounds, it really sucks and when everybody leaves it's just no fun at all.
    If you have a friend, and one that is good at playing Gears, play split screen, it's hella fun.

    Summary:
    Gears 4 has it's different pros and cons, which are different from the other classic gears games.
    It has the best horde mode from the 5 that have
    It has an OK versus being dedicated to the OG fans
    And it has a story mode.... which it's FLAT

    Get in Xbox Game pass.

    Pior Gears que joguei. Protagonista bem chato, tanto quanto a história. Salvo pelo enredo da Kait, porquê o resto é bem precário. O início e meio são bem chatos em todos aspectos, o final melhora. O ponto forte desse jogo é os ambientes e só.

    Having played the original trilogy, and expecting an equal or better game overall.
    I must say I wasn't disapointed. The Coalition delivered a really high quality game, without sacrificing what made the original trilogy great.
    Step on the shoes of JD Fenix and welcome a new group of characters that have a lot to demonstrate.

    This game almost broke my heart. I love Gears of War since the first one and this game doesnt have in it. Its good for what it is but its not the GoW I used to love. Something is missing here, maybe the characters, maybe the setting (why they put robots in here?). Almost good but far from great.

    Big fan of the original trilogy. Finally got so time to lancer down some robots. Awesome - not!! Gears against robots is like Battlefield with aliens. Just feels wrong and out of place … And on the other side copying every mechanic from the original, even the tickers. Then the redundant dropships. Whole game feels soulless.

The graphics hold up magnificently & are among the best on modern consoles. The gameplay is still responsive & fun aside from a few caveats. Basically anytime you aren’t taking cover & shooting things, you’re doing something to break up the gameplay a bit & I was never a fan of these sections tbh. Towards the end with the catapult section really annoyed me. Also the game just kinda ends? After the “final boss” if you could call it that, there’s a cutscene then.. end credits. Kind of a momentum killer honestly. Also the banter between the new cast of characters can be grating at times, I hate hate HATE dialogue where everybody is a smartass and has to one up the other person with a dumb comeback, especially when it’s not needed. It was my biggest problem with Days Gone & it was grating here too. I was begging for them to shut up at times. I feel like most Gears fans aren’t gonna disagree with me on the new games just not being as good as the originals. Seems like that tends to happen with Microsoft’s biggest franchises after they hit the 3rd game, if you know you know. HALO?? Good lord. It’s a good enough experience, but it does make me anxious for Gears 6. Expand

    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!

There are some quick and infrequent burst of cinematic excitement, and adrenaline, but it quickly goes back to spray and pray. This game shines best during the windflares, and "cinematic" uncharted-like sequences ( like the bike and the mech), but those make up maybe 1/5 of the game. JD is also way more interesting than marcus, he actually has a fun demeanor to him, almost like nathan drake. Game also has a decent pvp, something I can see myself pouring some hours in, not the best, but very serviceable. To end, why wasn't the game more of act 5, and not 2-4? why didn't the game have more of the mech-sequences/ bike sequences/ even the that boss fight that actually has depth (the one where you shoot the generators..second to last?). Why was the majority of the game mind-numbingly boring spray and pray fest. I probably will never understand the gears franchise.. Expand

    The new chapter in the Gears of War saga is a fresh start with new and old faces coming together to face a new threat. This is the beginning of a new trilogy, and I was first skeptical of how they would follow the story after the third game's glorious ending. But I must admit, I was impressed with how this game was handled.

    The new chapter in the Gears of War saga is a fresh start with new and old faces coming together to face a new threat. This is the beginning of a new trilogy, and I was first skeptical of how they would follow the story after the third game's glorious ending. But I must admit, I was impressed with how this game was handled.

    Gears of War 4's new characters are great, especially JD and Kait. I am glad that the future of the franchise has some interesting and well written protagonists to carry it on. Marcus will always be my favorite, and I am glad that he is back in all of his glory. In general, this game does a lot to continue the story and expand the Gears of War world. The writing has a more cinematic feel, with richer dialogues and more expressive characters. I am glad that the developers are taking full advantage of technological advancements to give us a great experience.

    The gameplay remains mostly the same, with a few minor alterations. I will always have fun playing the Gears of War games, and I don't think it is necessary to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the controls and combat. The new weapons are great, as well as the robot enemies. I think this game does a great job of changing the formula a little without leaving behind the things that make these games good in the first place.

    Overall, I think the story leaves a lot to be explored in future chapters. This series has a lot of potential to be one of the best in game history, and I will definitely be here to enjoy the ride.

    Um dos piores Gears de sempre, a historia e o final são patéticos. É legal pra se divertir e passar a saudades do estilo de jogo, mas se você esperando uma historia interessante, esquece.

    Much like what Halo 4 was to the original trilogy, Gears of War 4 kind of feels like the same thing. Not saying that it's a bad game but not on pare with the original trilogy.

The enemy this time around feels more like a monster movie flick which is an odd thing to say for this series but I missed fighting the Locust again. Amazing beautiful graphics and interesting story, I'd say this game is a worthy and good continuation from the original trilogy but just not as good. At least Gears 5 was better so that's a plus. Here's hoping Gears 6 is the best one out of all of the new series. Expand

    another gears game. A 9 for visuals, 6 for story, and everything else falls between. This is weird because if youre a first time gears player I think its deserving of a solid 8.5 to 9 overall score but having beat the previous gears it feels more of the same and its gotten dull.

Its truly hard for a game like this to top itself because of how fantastic the visuals, character animations, story and multiplayer from many are but something needs to change. I made a comment about God of war saying that it was "the refresh everyone wanted that nobody could've imagined". We all wanted something fresh with that game but what the devs gave us was beyond anything we could dream i feel. GEARS needs an answer like that...the mobility has to change, the cover shoot needs to be revamped , polished or removed.....

    Gears is starting to feel like button command action sequences instead of a fluid 3rd person shooter. I started Gears 5 and stopped because it felt more of the same. I trust the stlry is better and the visuals are spectacular but needed a break after beating 4 and not feeling satisfied in the end.

    Gears of War 4 is the best thing that could have happened with the series in the hands of a new team. The Coalition, though not able to reach the level of the original trilogy, but offered a strong action movie that will please fans of shooters with a pleasant variety, unexpected solutions and memorable scenes

    Gears of War 4 was fun but the lack of interesting new characters, besides one or two, kept it from feeling great. Game play was fun, as usual for a Gears game. Interesting story.

The stormy weather during the campaign actually adds a refreshing touch to the game and the shooting is great as always. I'm playing on the hardest difficulty and I don't feel the game is unfair, so I've been learning to be patient and to pick the right moment to make my moves. It is truly good. Just remember to go for the head or the enemy will just be bullet sponges.

    I did have some money in my account by doing searches through Bing.com which you could get about $10 a month if you use Bing.com regularly so it was even more satisfying to buy it, just a tip. I really recommend the game.

    Ну сюжет основной тут не плохой, но и не супер хороший. Весьма обычный, даже в каком-то плане никакой. Однако, у этого сюжета задача не рассказать увлекательную историю с твистами, а задача раскрыть лор, героев главных и показать грамотную смену поколений. И в этом игра отлично справляется. Тут клевые диалоги между персонажи, отличные камео старых героев, и весьма забавный юмор. ГеймплейНу сюжет основной тут не плохой, но и не супер хороший. Весьма обычный, даже в каком-то плане никакой. Однако, у этого сюжета задача не рассказать увлекательную историю с твистами, а задача раскрыть лор, героев главных и показать грамотную смену поколений. И в этом игра отлично справляется. Тут клевые диалоги между персонажи, отличные камео старых героев, и весьма забавный юмор. Геймплей же - изменился, во первых тут ты лучше чувствуешь оружие, анимации стали куда плавнее и приятнее ( например, во второй части были рваные анимации врагов, они могли резко выглянуть, ты навелся, выстрелил и он сражу исчез - нет никакой плавности, тут же все ок). Само перемещение стало удобнее и интуитивнее. Ну играется комфортно. Насчет врагов - они частично новые. И они часто заставляют тебя покидать укрытия и маневрировать, что увеличивает динамику и заставляет думать что делаешь. Некоторые файты так что вообще замечательные, ибо там прям появляется хороший челлендж справиться с противником используя все доступные средства. Также по мелочам были доработаны механики, к примеру раньше нельзя было бегать с тяжелым оружие, тут можно. По тону игра стала мрачнее и потеряла всю серость второй части (это потеряла уже третья часть, ибо она была оч красочная и рили красивая, но не была мрачной), весь мрак портят веселые диалоги героев. Также игра круто играется с окружением предоставляя новые возможности использования динамичного окружения для уничтожения роя. И еще тут очень много эффектнейших моментов аля call of duty. И игра выглядит потрясно, очень красивая. Такое ощущение, что игра больше демонстрирует технические возможности новых консолей и показывает какие игры красивые, разрушаемые и вообще впечатляющие с новой грамотной режиссурой. Тут нормально объясняют как появился рой, ибо саранчу же истребили в третьей части, тут показывают грамотное изменение старых геров и их блин грамотно добавили в повествование, а не будто вырваны из старого контекста. И плюс их не убивают, что было бы издевательски по уродски по отношению к фанатам. Тут происходит планомерная смена поколений, тут такие задатки я бы сказал. И появление старых героев в сюжете просто умопомрачительно. Вот так они должны появляться, а не будто стариков притащили на чужую войну. Но есть минусы: а именно новый противник - роботы. Им посвящено слишком много времени, ты с ними встречаешься два акта из 5. А птм уже ток с роем из-за чего кажется, что игра все не может начаться, а когда началась слишком быстро закончилась. Но я понимаю, это нужно было чтобы новым игрокам раскрыть лор и вести в курс дела. Игра выглядит будто немножко перетянутое вступление. Но тут есть рили несколько просто крышесносных уровней, респект - это я явно надолго запомню. 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.
