    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.

    7.1/10

    Story: 7.5
    Gameplay: 7
    Game mechanics: 7

    The story was a bit different but interesting. Gameplay was better and better missions. There were more options for the player, which I enjoyed.

    not much to say about the campaign, wich is the reviews is about
    really boring campaign with minimale mechanics, The game looks great, but a boring story will also not fix that, ending was good, but 5 hours of boring gameplay with 1 hour of fun is not worth it

    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.

    Dificultad artificial la cual se basa en enemigos esponjas de daño en espacios cerrados mientras te atacan enemigos aleatorios (esto refiriendome a la maxima dificultar)
    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    Dificultad artificial la cual se basa en enemigos esponjas de daño en espacios cerrados mientras te atacan enemigos aleatorios (esto refiriendome a la maxima dificultar)
    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.    … Expand

    This is an amazing game and one of the best of the generation. Graphically it looks just as good if not better than many next Gen games. Story wise is amazing.

    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.    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

    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.

    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.
