    Easy 8 out of 10 in 2023. Yes, I have just started playing Gears series, but this game delivers everything right. Design is great and unique, music and sound is exceptional, gameplay is great looking back 10 years ago. All in all absolutely genuine product without any overflows.

    Story: 7.5 Gameplay: 8 Game Mechanics: 7.8 The story was pretty bland; it didn't move much, and much stayed in one location. The first entries of every game or game series should build stuff up and get the player interested in the world; this game delivered this very poorly. Gameplay was cool, with different weapons and styles; Hammer of Dawn was a nice touch. The mechanics    7.7/10

    La verdad no me gusto mucho, tienes sus bugs y la historia esta muy genérica, las graficas están mal para ser un remaster.

    Super jeux avec une campagne bourré d'action. et un groupe de personnage attachant à suive. jeux de tir à la troisième personnes assez nerveux.

    Buen remake. Supongo que el sistema de coberturas en su día fue revolucionario. No tengo claro que fuera el primero. En todo caso, intenso y variado en sus modos de contenidos.

    This is my very first Gears of War game. The game looks and feels amazing, it has some breathtaking views and atmospheric locations. This is not a game that you play for the story (cause there is no one) but just to relax and have some fun with friends.

    Um bom Gears, divertido e bem feito. A dublagem é muito boa e o Marcus é bem marcante. A jogabilidade é boa, mas poderia ser melhor. Gráficos excelentes e trilha sonora bem boa.

    An amazing game, a great remaster, and still one of the best 3rd person shooters/action adventure games out there. If you have never played Gears start here. If you have Gamepass and have never played download this now and play it!

    Bom remaster. Manteve a estrutura do original. Jogabilidade excelente, uma das melhores da categoria. Ambientes fantásticos que proporciona imersão na campanha. É um jogo obrigatório pra todo dono de XBOX e/ou fã de TPS.

    My first GOW game, and I am happy I decided to give gears games a go. Absolutely loved every minute of it, and played through the campaign in almost a single sitting over the weekend. Absolutely one of the most entertaining shooter I've played in a long time.

    Buen remaster

    Mas contenido y mejores gráficos

    esta bien si nunca jugaste a ningún Gears, aunque lo puedes llegar sentir un poco anticuado.

    For me, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition can be summarized as the following: lack of balance which leads to a frustrating mess...

    Pros: +Solid gunplay +The remastered graphics look nice and are a clear upgrade +The cover system works as intended, for the most part Cons: -Story was fairly simple & boring -Characters were all pretty one dimensional -Friendly A.I. is atrocious,    For me, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition can be summarized as the following: lack of balance which leads to a frustrating mess...

    Pros:
    +Solid gunplay
    +The remastered graphics look nice and are a clear upgrade
    +The cover system works as intended, for the most part

    Cons:
    -Story was fairly simple & boring
    -Characters were all pretty one dimensional
    -Friendly A.I. is atrocious, which makes it extremely hard to play solo
    -Enemies are bullet sponges and they all focus on the player and not the A.I.
    -Enemies often have one to two shot weapons which create frustrating encounters where it's not about skill as much as it is about luck, since the friendly A.I. won't help
    -Boss fights are a joke & rage inducing because of the problems listed above
    -Art style is pretty bland (black/grey trend of early 2000's games)
    -Soundtrack is pretty forgettable for the most part

    Overall, I would not recommend it if you're planning on playing it by yourself, unless you stick with the lower difficulties (which I did not unfortunately) or if you like to play games that make you feel bad about yourself.
    Gears of War: Ultimate Edition feels tedious, frustrating and a new form of torture, carried only by its solid gameplay.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. É um bom remaster manteve a historia incrivel mas o principal problema é a IA burra estraga a experiencia mas eu dou uma aliviada considerando que é o primeiro jogo feito pra The Coalition e não pelo Epic Games… Expand

    Very amusing game, that doesn't take the genre too seriously. Well balanced, good action, great graphics, very do-able for a player like me that is not a great shooter. But best of all: a game filled with nice, big chunk-a-chunks of men candy!

    This is a great remaster/remake of the original GOW. If the frame rate was better it would make the game even more enjoyable (and I would of given it a 10). It is a great way for the newer generation to get into gears.

    У игры если и были тестеры, то их компетенции/количества было явно не достаточно!Soft-лок в 5 акте,тот кто расставлял чекпоинты в epic возможно был не опытен(хотя для такой игры должны были выделить лучших из лучших. Это же был главный тайтл после Halo)и ему/им можно было это простить,но в 2015 ТАК РАССТАВЛЯТЬ ЧЕКПОИНТЫ НЕЛЬЗЯ!

    The Coalition has done a superb job of reminding us why we fell in love with Gears back in 2006.

    It's an HD edition that fully respects the importance of the original game for the tps genre. It's a technically sound restyle that maintains the content of the original without trying to revolutionize it. It's impressive how well the game has aged, really.

    Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition definitely belongs in that upper tier; its campaign no longer carries the industry-shaping impact it once had but it remains tremendous fun, while its multiplayer is still dramatic, unique and engaging, perhaps even more so now given the final touches The Coalition has added. As was the case back in 2006, come for the campaign and stay for the multiplayer – you’ll be glad you did.
