    Too short campaign and now you throw in Micro transactions on top of it all.

En conclusión esta muy bien en los apartados mencionados pero en cuanto a la campaña parece más media que una completa.… Expand

    Excellent return to form. I really enjoyed the campaign and new take on the younger generation. I have sunk 100+ hours into Horde mode.

    Gears of War is a bit like Star Wars in a sense it has a pretty damn good original trilogy with people arguing over the first or the second being the best in the series. The series thankfully has only one **** prequel that somehow has the trappings of what made the originals good, but missing the point entirely. All this leads to one conclusion then. Gears of War 4 is the Force Awakens ofGears of War is a bit like Star Wars in a sense it has a pretty damn good original trilogy with people arguing over the first or the second being the best in the series. The series thankfully has only one **** prequel that somehow has the trappings of what made the originals good, but missing the point entirely. All this leads to one conclusion then. Gears of War 4 is the Force Awakens of the Gears of War series. It brings back the characters you love with adding new likeable fun characters as replacements. Has a new yet in a way old familiar enemy, and is all about you getting reintroduced into the world of Gears. I know a hell of an intro to get into this review, but anyways B-rod here, and I love the **** out of Gears of War 4.

    When I first saw this game I thought, “oh great they are going to milk Gears of War for all it’s worth.” I was right technically, but the team at The Coalition took some time and care into making this game, and made it a fun experience. The game’s story is about Marcus Fenix’s son James Fenix and his two squad/friends embarking on a mission to find out what happened to their village which was attacked by these unknown creatures. The mystery is not deep but engaging, but what really sold this game to me was the characters. James, Kait, and Del they were charming, funny and just overall characters you wanted to follow. I like Marcus Fenix, but he was always a cardboard cutout Conan type character. James is a funny likeable rogue who you’d want to follow long after the game is over. I can’t tell you how much I dug this story and character especially since I thought this game would be just another Judgement fail.

    The gameplay is exactly what sequels are supposed to be. It keeps the core gameplay the same, and just adds upon it. It doesn’t retool how the gameplay works making it less fun entirely Gears of War Judgement. (I’m JUDGING the hell out of that game right now). Adding in the weather as a hazard while you fight is such a kickass obstacle that I honestly never knew I needed. The worst part of this game is the beginning where the first two act of the game you’re fighting robots. These **** things are not only boring to kill, but are bullet sponges to the point of annoyance. Once you fight the real enemy of the game which are called the Swarm that’s where you get into that good ole Gears we know and love. Even the Swarm have creatures that are interesting to fight and keep you on your toes. They force you not to just sit there shooting at them with your Lancer until they explode. It sorta felt like a fight in Bloodborne with how often you were forced to dodge and shoot. The game looks like a Gears game. It’s the best looking by far, but nothing that is unfamiliar as it were.

    Overall if you never played a Gears of War game before I wouldn’t recommend it because I feel like you’d be missing something that the typical Gears player would see. If you are a Gears fan, but were turned off by Judgement by all means get this game it is my favorite of the games since Gears of War 2 came out. I did not expect to love this as much as I did and I have to give it 4.5/5. If it wasn’t for that first two acts fighting nothing but robots I would’ve gave it a perfect score. Until next time folks.    … Expand

    The Coalition brings to us a game that takes place 25 years after the original trilogy, and they do it very well, with new faces that try to be the next delta squad, the son of Marcus Fenix as the protagonist and a new enemy to confront, called The Swarm. A good way to continue this iconic saga.

    La vuelta de una saga mítica querida por todos. Un juego de acción desenfrenada donde podemos controlar nuevos personajes muchos años después. Todo un acierto a mi parecer. Con muchas ganas de ver qué hacen con el 6.

    Je ne suis pas fan des mécaniques de Gears of War avec ses rechargements millimétrés et cette impression de diriger un semi-remorque de 38 tonnes en guise de personnage... Ses scripts, son côté beauf de fonderie, son lancer de grenade maladroit et ses quelques QTE... quoiqu'ici les QTE sont devenus heureusement bien plus rares.

    J'ai donc abordé ce quatrième épisode (non le cinquième en    Je ne suis pas fan des mécaniques de Gears of War avec ses rechargements millimétrés et cette impression de diriger un semi-remorque de 38 tonnes en guise de personnage... Ses scripts, son côté beauf de fonderie, son lancer de grenade maladroit et ses quelques QTE... quoiqu'ici les QTE sont devenus heureusement bien plus rares.

    J'ai donc abordé ce quatrième épisode (non le cinquième en fait avec Judgement) sans espérance ni illusion, plus par curiosité que réel intérêt. Après un début tout de même fort mollasson, le jeu trouve néanmoins son rythme de croisière, un rythme qui va crescendo et qui réserve de manière inattendue quelques surprises...

    A l'insu de mon plein gré, me voilà donc happé par ce jeu-couloir de plus en plus furieux et spectaculaire, car à l'instar d'un triple A hollywoodien, Gears of War 4 met les bouchées doubles, puis les triples et... les quadruples avec un grand final qui met les pieds dans le plat à coups d'explosions et de grands "splatchs" (attention, ça tache). Entretemps, il multiplie indéniablement de belles séquences toujours aussi violentes alors que les personnages disent de plus en plus de gros mots, sans doute un peu énervés (à force).

    Il faut dire que la VF est toujours excellente avec notamment la voix de José Luccioni, doubleur émérite bien connu d'Al Pacino... et du père Marcus depuis le début, un Marcus devenu un papy depuis toutes ces années ! Dans cette escouade qui part en pique-nique, le fiston James a une bonne tête de vainqueur, son pote noir est toujours sacrément demeuré et la cocotte Kait (sans compter sa maman pas jouasse) est une "bad ass" carrément grognasse.

    L'humour est bas de plafond pour ne pas dire bien con (idéal pour un dîner) mais colle à l'ambiance générale tandis que la fin, pour un jeu de ce calibre, se révèle un brin... étonnante. Les pétoires restent fidèles à elles-mêmes, c'est-à-dire ni vraiment maniables ni agréables à utiliser : c'est du "classique" pour un Gears et toujours aussi lent et lourdaud...

    La technique n'appelle que des éloges par contre et pour une fois, le moteur Unreal 4 donne toute sa (dé)mesure ici, lui habituellement à la masse et la ramasse, surtout sur consoles. Mais là, que ce soit en 4K-30 ou encore mieux pour un jeu de cet acabit, en 1080-60 (les deux modes proposés sur la Xbox One X), le Gears of War 4 montre ses muscles et ne déçoit pas. Du coup, on peut pardonner sans doute la place gargantuesque qu'il exige : 117 Go pour une campagne couloir scriptée et quelques cartes multi-joueurs ! un record ! signalons que la partie sonore est très soignée elle aussi et participe évidemment au spectacle.

    Finalement et contre toute attente, le Gears of War 4 est assurément le meilleur de tous les Gears... un divertissement bourrin et beauf, souvent lourdaud mais étonnamment amusant ici et là, après des débuts très poussifs dans cette nouvelle campagne... Un couloir plutôt sympathique donc, ce qui n'est déjà pas mal !    … Expand

    Ottimo gameplay (come sempre), trama davvero troppo banale (punto più debole del gioco), troppo allungamento di brodo e ripetitività per raggiungere un obiettivo nella campagna. Se cercate belle trame questo gioco non fa per voi, se volete un bel gameplay fa per voi

    While I know that Coalition paid a lot of attention to the multiplayer as a lot of game developers do these days I was very satisfied with the main campaign. Gameplay is largely the same as it was for the early titles. Gears has always been a shooting gallery with cover tactic mechanics but its among the best shooting galleries you'd find out there on the market. New additions to the single player like a tower defense mode against AI wave attacks. Some new interesting weapons are added to the roster but the classics are also brought back in (torque bow FTW).    … Expand

    I used to like GOW when it first came out, but the series got worse and worse... I tried playing this game, but the gameplay was incredibly repetitive (wave after wave after wave of enemies), the story was BS and the graphics aren't my style anyway (I could overlook this in the first GOW since the game itself was good, but now it's no longer the case)... this was the last GOW I tried...

    Gears of War 4 is a decent return to the franchise after the abomination that Judgement was. The graphics are good, sound is good, game play is as good as it has always been if not better. The new enemies are cool and bring along with them a new variety of weapons and tactics. The story is decent good for bringing in a new team of characters with Marcus' son as the lead role.

    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.

    The Coalition’s development team did a fantastic job adopting the Gears of War series. They’ve preserved what makes it special in our hearts and added in new bells and whistles which are absolutely welcome.
