I'm in two minds over Gears of War 4. Graphically it's stunning to look at and the new effects really showcase what the platform is capable of.On the flipside though the game is over way to quickly and I feel the Single player experience is sacrificed onc...

While the setup of the early game is intriguing, during play Gears of War 4 initially lacks a spark. Well, actually, there are plenty of sparks, courtesy of the new, introductory enemy type – robots! Known as 'DeeBee' units, they simply aren't that much f...

Abstract: There's a moment in Gears of War 4 when I knew the game had sunk it's teeth in and hooked me. About two hours in, an older, retired Marcus Felix cries out for his prized tomatoes as a wave of robot baddies are dropped by airship through the green...

Abstract: Depending on your outlook, the fourth title in this muscle-bound sci-fi series could easily look like an anachronism. It's a single-path third-person cover-shooter that pays no heed to modern demands for open worlds, and belongs to a franchise that has lo...

Reinvigorates the core of classic Gears with a bounty of smart, fresh ideas, As strategically taxing as it is viscerally exciting, New multiplayer and Horde modes are clever, creative shakeups, A genuinely likable new cast and tone.
Doesn't really spark visually until the second half of the campaign, The campaign doesn't end on quite the high it could have

Endless Horde mode is addictive and strategic, Competitive multiplayer features fresh new modes, Controls still feel mostly great, Good weapon variety
Campaign is brief, repetitive, and poorly written, Some control issues nag, Feels too safe in some areas
If you're in it for the competitive multiplayer or the endless Horde mode, by all means enjoy the carnage. If you want a story that makes sense or a fresh-feeling campaign, look elsewhere...

Not everyone will think of Gears as the multiplayer game of today, with the campaign being a real driver for many classic players. But as The Coalition has already shown with the re-rubbed Ultimate Edition there's a real appetite for multiplayer Gears.And...
Breathless gameplay, Looks amazing in HDR, Horde multiplayer is good fun
More of the same, for better or worse, Campaign mode is slow to kick off
The famous Torque Bow makes a triumphant, pointy return Esports ready or not, the true test of Gears 4's multiplayer will be its reception from the regular gaming community, not from pro-gaming folk. I certainly enjoyed the few matches I played, but I w...

Abstract: Developers, when contemplating how to continue a franchise that left things so thoroughly wrapped - speak to The Coalition. Not only did Rod Fergusson and his team honour everything that came before, but with Gears of War 4 they also managed to make solid...
