Gears of War 4 Review

By peter paras

Gears of War 4 aims to be something more than just a retread. The fourth installment, which is also the first original Gears endeavor from developer The Coalition, delivers not just something "new", but something relevant too.

Yes, there's a new story, characters, weapons, and a ton of multiplayer modes, but in the first 120 minutes, what's most refreshing about the single-player campaign…

  • A fresh, forward-thinking first few acts
  • Likable characters
  • Attractive, gritty visuals
  • Strong weapon design
  • New multiplayer modes like Escalation will keep players coming back
  • A small step forward for Gears
  • The story loses momentum in the second half
  • Technical issues
