Gears of War 4 Reviews
Gears of War 4 is a very good game but suffers from a mediocre campaign. It’s a fun game but it could have been slightly better.
Gears of War 4 just falls short of hitting the peak of the series, but as a start to a new trilogy its pretty damn good.
Xbox One is only now getting its first taste of a signature franchise as it approaches its third birthday — and it was worth the wait.
Gears is brilliant at doing what it does best. Gears. If you love offerings already on the market, then you will love this game, but it may let you down with it’s lack of exciting innovations and predictable story. Maybe it’s because when you make three solid 8 or 9 out of 10 games, you can’t do much to make it better, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. The hardcore and the newbies alike will love Gears 4, but it won’t be the ground breaking Gears we reminisce about. Gears 4 is back with a smack, bang and wallop! It lets itself down purely because it is holding something back and I cannot wait to find out what that is.
Gears 4’s achievements are in its intimacy and understanding of its history. Much of the game finds you in cramped, isolated corridors, fighting things you don’t understand for reasons you haven’t had time to process. It’s not a war so much as an attempt to crawl out of an abyss, alive for one more day. Gears has never felt as hopeless and frightening as Gears 4, nor has it ever recognized its characters’ mortality as effectively.
Gears of War 4 keeps the great 3rd person gameplay of the franchise and adds just enough to make it fresh.
Gears of War 4 is a successful new entry in the series. This time made by different creators, but everything that fans adored has been preserved.

The Coalition had to deal with a heavy burden but they really nailed it: Gears of War 4 takes the right steps in a big, beloved franchise and adds small, but smart new touches to the great predecessors while at the same time expanding the universe with a new story and new heroes. On the other hand, the game lacks those big, epic, rememberable moments, that make the fans talk about the old games even today. Sometimes, it felt to me, The Coalition tried to play it too safe and only unleashing the full potential very close to the end. I hope, they'll unleash the inner beast in the next installment.

Gears of War 4 is about family, it is about returning to the planet Sera, on the way to a new generation of fighters, led by the son of Marcus Fenix.

Gears of War 4 bietet weiterhin einen soliden Multiplayer und auch die Kampagne kommt zwar nicht an den Vorgänger heran, macht aber zumindest im Co-Op ordentlich Spaß. Coalition hatte eine wirklich schwere Aufgabe vor sich und hat das Grundgerüst von was ihnen Epic Games mit Gears of War 3 hinterlassen hat, in vielen Bereichen sehr gut ausgebaut.

If you’ve been a long-time Gears fan, you have no reason to worry. This is definitely all you asked for and then some. If you’re a casual Gears fan, I’d still recommend it purely for the fact that it is an incredibly solid package and will last you a considerable amount of time. For those that do not enjoy the franchise, you won’t find anything new to sway your opinion since this is a refinement of the traditional formula and more importantly a continuation of the legacy.
The Coaltion has a bright future ahead of itself with the Gears of War franchise.
A worthy addition to the Gears of War franchise, but a lack of overall innovation means it doesn't really stand out from the crowd. Fans of the franchise will approve.
"Gears of War 4" is one of the best cover shooter experiences around and provides an interesting story with gorgeous visuals. The elements of this game really show off the strength of Triple-A titles.
I don't have much left to say about Gears of War 4. Dead. I had a lot of doubt about this game. I was a bit scared that most of the games released this year were disappointing and the games released on Windows 10 had huge problems, but I was good with trusting Coalition. Gears of War 4 really erased all my worries in one session. Gears of War 4, which offers magnificent visuals in a graphical sense and never leaves the interaction between the characters and does not bother the player, offers really good things for both fans of the series and individuals who are just starting the series.

Gears Of War 4 does not disappoint on any level. The game is on Unreal Engine 4 so it looks and sounds great. The story is interesting, and not only that will get a solid portion of well-known Gears, but also taste all sorts of well-realized and implemented novelties.

Gears of War 4 feels very complete with all that content, and you won't get bored easily. With the game, developer The Coalition shows well what kind of vision it has for the franchise. The emphasis is hugely on replayability and being able to play together. This is reflected in the extensive multiplayer and the Horde mode, but also in the fact that the game as a whole is playable in co-op. Unfortunately, the campaign is a bit on the short side, and can sometimes feel a bit monotonous. But the interesting story and abundance of action make up for a lot.

Gears of War 4 is an impressive return to form.
