Gears of War 4 Reviews
Gears 4 is smoother all around than past games while retaining that heavy weight to characters.
Gears of War 4 have pretty much the same mechanics that we are used of. It sure is entertaining, but at the same time a little too safe. Overall though, it’s still a great game that every Gears of War fan probably will enjoy.

With an interesting, albeit familiar narrative, great gameplay and some really brutal battles, Gears of War 4 offers exactly what fans of the series have been yearning for: hours upon hours of great, weighty combat.
While the gameplay and storyline certainly aren't lacking and will likely keep Gears fans amused, The Coalition seems reluctant to let the past go and to move on. Away from the campaign, there are tweaks to competitive multiplayer that include a couple of new game modes, but the real focus of the title is the improved Horde mode. It is here that players will spend the majority of their time and where the real enjoyment lies.
A strange combination of both familiar territory and a fresh feeling, Gears of War 4 provides and enjoyable and robust experience. While there isn't much new ground broken in the experience, it does a lot to remind us what was so great about the original games in the first place.
In short, we are facing a game that improves all of the above and adheres to the "more and better" rule that is so popular. A gift for veterans and a playable orgasm for newcomers to the series.

Throughout 2016 we have had truly sensational video games that everyone should try at some point, however, I have a hard time thinking of one that delivers the gigantic amount of content that comes in Gears of War 4, and even more. It is important that the quality of each of the elements that compose it is so outstanding. The reality is that no matter what you are looking for if you are considering buying new from The Coalition, I can assure you that you will have a more than excellent time.

Gears of War 4 offers everything you'd expect from a Gears title, and a surprising amount of great new ideas that enhance the core gameplay. Its campaign has problems in terms of story and characterisation, but in terms of fun is up there with the best the series has produced. The overall impression is that Gears of War is in thoroughly capable hands The Coalition. With more confident storytelling the studio could well produce a classic.
'Gears of War 4' features fresh takes on some modes, but plays it safe for others.
Gears Of War 4 does everything required to bring the franchise roadie-running into 2016 without losing what made it so good to begin with. One of the best games on the Xbox One.
Gears of War 4 brings the franchise forward to Xbox One and PC with new characters, new multiplayer modes, and a redesigned co-op Horde mode.
Gears of War 4 is a confident offering across campaign and multiplayer from The Coalition. There's hours of fun to be had here, especially in the updated Horde mode.
Gears Of War 4 is an honest act of love for the saga, and for the countless fans who - over ten years - never stopped hoping for a glorious return to the heyday of the brand

Sorry all of you “Pokemon Go” players, “Gears of War 4” is my social game of the season.
As a complete package, Gears of War 4 is everything I could have asked for and more. Yes, I’ve got a few slight gripes with the lackluster final fight in the closing moments of the campaign and Horde 3.
The game's successes as a continuation of Gears of War's narrative falter in the face of stubbornly archaic gameplay.
Gears of War 4 offers brutish new weapons, new monster fodder, and excellent multiplayer modes, but the game drops the ball by introducing weak characters and a predictable story.
Genre-defining? Not quite. Maybe that will come with Gears 5. Or Gears 6. That’s the thing about a Fenix – they always rise again.
It’s difficult to fault The Coalition for not running with new ideas when it comes to Gears of War 4. The game definitely feels like a Gears of War title, but it’s more of a revamped reboot rather than a proper sequel. If you’ve been a fan of previous Gears titles, there’s a lot to like about Gears of War 4, but for anyone who wasn’t already sold on the series, don’t expect anything here to suddenly change your mind.
