Gears of War 4 does not disappoint expectations and indeed significantly improves a formula already tested and almost perfect. The campaign features a new generation of heroes and stages a handover between the past and the near future, while the classic and more competitive multiplayer modes are rock-solid, fun and very challenging, potentially able to keep you busy for as long as possible. we can really quantify.

Gears of War 4 aims to continue the series with stride after a change in developer from Epic Games to The Coalition. Other series have attempted to continue after a change in director or developer, but suffered as a result, so can Gears 4 live up to the standard of previous titles?

If you were worried that the series might have lost its way with Epic Games no longer developing it, rest easy. Gears of War 4 is the ultimate package of gory, visceral gameplay, and fantastic production values. This is quite definitely one of the best, if not the very best, games in the series.

The Coalition did a great job with Gears of War 4 and look to be taking the franchise in the right direction; I look forward to seeing what they have planned for Gears of War 5 and Gears of War 6.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

It's true that The Coalition played it with Gears of War 4 confident enough not to infuriaty the huge fan base built up by the original trilogy. Nevertheless, they have managed to bring news that does not fundamentally change the game, but pleasantly refreshes it to stand even on the current generation of consoles.

After learning the story, I wanted to... More. There was an understatement, so I jumped into the net abyss and forgot. Shoot, die, shoot, die and only sometimes, when you turn off the console again appears this thought ... That's when the five?

Gears of War 4 is a new beginning for the saga, a title that does not overturn the classic canons in favor of a more traditional approach, but not without making small improvements. The campaign created by The Coalition is a blast from the past that will not fail to excite all those who have experienced the fearsome war against the Locusts in the last generation, but which in some cases shows itself to be perhaps too repetitive and devoid of memorable moments such as those of past episodes.

I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy this entry as much as I did the previous trilogy since it changed developers, but how silly I was to even think it’d be anything less than amazing. Gears of War 4 is hands down one of the best games released so far in 2016. The Coalition nailed the feel and atmosphere of the series perfectly, and the future for fans is looking brighter than it ever has.
