    This game looks great and plays well but the story is average and very short. The multiplayer is riddled with bugs, I am unable to play anything outside of a quick match and no progress is tracked.
    The achievements are bugged so that they wont unlock, I had 2 unlock and from there nothing. I have tried to contact The Coalition through official forums that are meant to be monitored and    This game looks great and plays well but the story is average and very short.

    The achievements are bugged so that they wont unlock, I had 2 unlock and from there nothing. I have tried to contact The Coalition through official forums that are meant to be monitored and just about everything else but with no luck.

    The bugs really ruined this game for me, I was always a Gears fan because of the online but it is near unplayable and with the bugs there is no reward.    … Expand

    Candidato a goty. Una maravilla tecnica y jugable.
    Todo un portento.
    The coalition continuan con la mejor saga de microsoft a mi juicio. Larga vida al rey.

    Best in the series for me. Can't wait till Gears 5! And just wanted to put this out there, for all the xbox fanboys complaining the 0's are from Sony fans only......Let's not forget that you all do the same thing with every PS exclusive. So if you don't want Sony fans trashing Xbox games, then don't trash Sony games. Simple.

    Me quedo sobre todo con su multijugador ya que la campaña se me hizo cortisima y los personajes no llegaron a gustarme del todo. La sombra de Marcus es muy alargada. Por lo demás super disfrutable

    Gears of War 4 is a beauty. The graphics are incredible and successfully utilize the Xbox One's power. The story mode in Gears is what draws me in, and Gears 4 does not disappoint. Multiplayer plays well besides some issue finding matches, and the inclusion of loot boxes can be ignored

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Antes de jugar este juego escuche por muchos lados que este juego no esta a la altura de su famosa trilogia lo cual no le preste atención al jugarlo y al terminarlo me di cuenta de que es el mas débil de todos sin contar contar gears of war judgement los personajes no son tan memorables como Cole, Baird y Dominic de los 4 personajes los mejores son Kait y Marcus este ultimo gracias a dios sigue siendo el mismo que recordamos con una barba la cual mejora su diseño (como detalle).
    La duración es algo justa sin embargo el juego nunca me dio la sensación de estar haciendo algo importante que cambiara el rumbo de la guerra o asestar un golpe critico al enemigo.
    Como e dicho anteriormente el juego no me a dado la sensación de estar haciendo algo relevante y el jefe final es la prueba de este en el uno luchamos contra el general Raam, en el dos se da la batalla contra un Brumak Lambent el cual despues de su muerte termina undiendo Jacinto, en el 3 matamos ana mas ni nada menos que la reina de los Locust y en el gears of war cuatro nos enfrentamos a la Bestia Colmena la cual tiene un diseño el cual es propio de la saga sinonimo de que tiene un diseño epico sin embargo se ve como un subjefe antes que un jefe final y al matarlo no tiene un efecto en el mundo como los jefes anteriores.
    Y pasando a los puntos positivos el juego gráficamente se nota como uno de los pesos pesados de xbox one como siempre han sido los anteriores gears en la xbox 360 en sus respectivos años.
    El juego mantiene su clásica jugabilidad pero innovando en algunos aspectos entre ellos están saltar las coberturas sin necesidad de cubrirse, soportar las hordas con ayuda del fabricante, nuevos enemigos como los DeeBees y el enjambre en si.
    También este juego abre varias puertas para la siguiente entrega de gears la cual se ve bastante potente a comparación de esta enrega.
    Aunque el juego no te da la sensación de estar haciendo algo importante los momentos epicos están presentes en todo el juego desde huir de la llamarada, el escape en moto, la pelea contra el jefe final, el escape de las catacumbas, etc.
    Aunque sea el mas débil (nuevamente sin contar a judgement) no es un mal gears los demás gears anteriores dejaron la barra demasiado alta la cual este juego no pudo superar sin embargo este juego tiene momentos memorables dentro de la saga.    … Expand

    O melhor Gears of War sem sombras de dúvida. Multiplayer viciante, gráficos sensacionais, jogabilidade totalmente diferente da dos outros jogos da saga porém continua com o mesmo sentimento, o que é fantástico. Pra mim foi o GOTY de 2016

    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.

    Gears 4 was okay these games have always lingered from meh to alright and this one is no different. I get half way threw the game and then i start asking how much longer or when are you gonna give me something interesting and it never happens. if it means anything i liked this one better then 3 i guess not bad but nothing really all that special.

    Gears of War 4 is a pretty solid game. i enjoy it from beginning to end. The campaign is pretty good, and the multiplayer is fantastic. It's a run of the mill Gears game. Nothing special, nothing amazing, not terrible. It's a good game.

    Gears of War 4 is quite different of the original trilogy because. But it's an excellent game by its visual effects, its story, its excellent boss fight, its character, its multiplayer ...
    Better than Gears of War 3 but less than Gears 1 and 2.

    Gears of war 4 ou apenas Gears 4 é um dos pontos mais altos que a série já alcançou trazendo gráficos espetaculares, novas criaturas e uma história que ira agradar todo fã de longa data da saga Gears.

    Gears 4 tem um início bem fraco as batalhas contra os robôs estão longe de serem tão divertidas quanto as batalhas contra os Locust mas também não são um completo desastre, outro ponto não tão positivo do jogo são os momentos em que toda a ação para e você tem que começar a construir defesa para proteger um determinado item e enfrentar hordas de inimigo o que não é de todo ruim já que diferencia um pouco a gameplay mas por ser um tanto quanto repetitivo e chato eu estou citando como um ponto negativo.
    Mas indo ao ponto em que o jogo começa para valer (no caso quando começamos a enfrentar os reais inimigos) o jogo realmente brilha e traz a essência dos Gears antigos com novos gráficos, novas armas e novos personagens o único quase problema dessa parte do jogo é que os chefes do jogo na sua maioria são chefes já vistos nos Gears antigos então senti falta de novos chefes tão legais quanto os do Gears 2 mas isso não chega a ser um problema. No geral Gears 4 é um jogo muito bom que usa a formula dos seus antecessores mas aprimorando tudo visto antes mas sem grandes inovações para chamar novos jogadores que não gostam dos antigos jogos da saga.    … Expand

    I'm not just disappointed with this game, I struck with how much I feel ripped off.

    The story and character development is cheap, the multiplayer doesn't offer anything new or exciting, the horde mode is inaccessible for offline users, and the weapons are complete downgrades.

    This game is an official nail in the coffin for this franchise to me.

    Stunning graphics, good controls; short and kind of dumb story. I'm not a multiplayer kind of guy, so that part doesn't really interest me, I bored out of it after 45 minutes.

    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.    GoW in general is very nostalgic for me, especially GoW2.

    - 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

    impressively boring... boring characters, boring story, tired old gameplay with absolutely nothing new. the "new" weapons are **** as well you pick them up the first time to try them out but since they´re all useless you just ignore them from then on. no real bosses just wave after wave tedious mediocre slogging through the same old enemies. the predessors had a real knack for pacing,impressively boring... boring characters, boring story, tired old gameplay with absolutely nothing new. the "new" weapons are **** as well you pick them up the first time to try them out but since they´re all useless you just ignore them from then on. no real bosses just wave after wave tedious mediocre slogging through the same old enemies. the predessors had a real knack for pacing, mixing it up all the time with big set pieces giant bosses and largely engaging gameplay. the right weapons placed in the right spots. you had to adapt you strategy to each new circumstance. this is the complete opposite it´s mindless, brainless, charmless without any personality or character. in short this is the laziest cheapest garbage asset recycle i´ve seen in a long time. as free dlc it would have been mediocre. but as supposed full game it´s just a blatant rip off. sad to see a great series ruined by this turd… Expand

    Gears of War 4 is a beautiful game, has an excellent graphic and a good story, its failure is to have a very short campaign duration, which is around 5 hours !!!

    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.
