Gears of War 4 Reviews
Gears 5 is here to deliver a new slice of the dark and gore soaked world of Serra -- but is it worth the blood and tears?
Gears of War 4 is a game made for the fans, by a similarly passionate development team. The campaign and multiplayer offer new elements that will please most players, but hopefully the next effort from The Coalition will see the core gameplay get a similar revamp.
Despite a few shortcomings in script and development of new characters, Gears of War 4 really shines in terms of gameplay and visuals. There's plenty on offer in both single and multi-player modes and the visuals are as stunning as expected. Easily one of the best games of this generations and a must-have for Windows and Xbox gamers.

After having a blast with the campaign, The Coalition have taken the helms of the Gears of Wars franchise and have made it their own. There was little to dislike about the experience and the team have more than proved that a returning franchise can still be epic.
Gears 4 is one of the best action games of this generation, whether you played the previous installments or not. If you own an Xbox One or even a PC, then don’t hesitate to buy this game. Even if you don’t own any of these, it might be the right time to do so. If you loved any of the previous “Gears”, then expect a similar experience with a few additions.

Gears of War 4 is a must-buy for fans of the series. The Coalition has managed to create a sequel to the original trilogy that outshines it in several aspects, while also retaining its true spirit of the series.
Gears 4 takes only half measures. It discards a lighthearted adventure premise for another fate-of-humanity monster invasion. It gives up on the anti-militarist bent of its early fight against the COG for another plot about soldiers trying to save humanity.
There’s no underestimating the amount of effort The Coalition has put into Gears of War 4. The result is one of the best shooters you can get out there on Xbox One and PC. It’s personally my favourite cover-based third-person shooter that I’ve played, and despite some flaws, it’s an incredible package with a great campaign, competitive and social multiplayer modes, and an addictive Horde experience. There’s few shooters that I really enjoy my entire hands-on with, but Gears of War 4 is one of them. It’s an incredible experience all-around, and with the addition of new Gear Packs, collectable cards, and the promise of free post-launch maps, there’s a lot of reasons for fans to keep coming back.
Gears Of War 4 is another incredible entry in the Gears Of War series. I'm happy the team took the extra time to get their first new Gears Of War title on the Xbox One as the extra time seems to have paid off. Like I said in the review, I wasn't the biggest fan of the campaigns in previous Gears Of War titles but in Gears Of War 4 I was extremely impressed. I feel Gears Of War 4 made some great changes to the series without moving away too far from what made the series so successful. Fans of the old games will be pleased with this entry in the series while new fans will be impressed with what's being offered in Gears Of War 4.
'Gears 4' gives me the same sense of wonder and excitement playing through the campaign as I first had with Marcus and Dom a decade ago. It is a 'Gears' for a new generation, and The Coalition has risen to the occasion to give a top notch package with heaps of production and replay value both. The Ultimate Edition specifically is not worth its hefty price tag, but 'Gears of War 4' itself should not be missed.
Gears of War 4 maintains the same tight third-person shooting mechanics we’ve loved over the years, along with everyone’s favorite: chest-high walls.
Gears of War 4 is the best game in the series so far with more likable characters and a better and more well-written story. The story of friendship and family fits well with the summer blockbuster style that the series has always strived for. Full of action, some humour and maybe even a few scares thrown in with the mix, more than anything else it looks like The Coalition is determined to mature the Gears franchise, and that is hardly a bad thing at all.
If anything, Gears of War 4 shows that The Coalition can handle the series going forward. From the single-player to the co-op and multiplayer, every aspect of the game sings with quality as they successfully blend old traditions with new mechanics. There's already a ton of content in the game, which is great at giving you many possible ways to access it all. While the PC is the preferred platform to play the game, the Xbox One version is no slouch, as it still comes up with a solid experience. Overall, action fans will have a blast with this title.
Gears of War 4 delivers on all that it had promised, a wonderful campaign with twist and turns, leavings us wanting. The multiplayer feels fresh and is worth playing to get better at for competitive modes; along with a horde mode that will test you but make you feel accomplished when it’s all finished.
Gears of War 4 is an impressive return to form.
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 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.

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.
