3.5 out of 10
No beast mode even though the campaign proves they have the capacity to do so.
Campaign is the shortest of all the Gears games.
They saw how good legend of Zelda did but failed to implement a good open world aspect.
I won’t lie the feel of the game is good, but There is a lot of polish work that is wasn’t done. At random times the music would cut out, normal walking paths would be blocked for some reason, all of the issues really showed in Act 4 (the last act, that’s right there are only 4 acts!)
In my battle with the swarmack it glitched out.
What’s sad is Gears 4 was written way better.
This game was so lame they had to kill off a character but give the feeling of choice for it. It was a gimmick to simply give the impression of a gripping story.
Something else
They keep shrinking the ammo cap.
It’s like I’m playing the Halo 5 of the gears universe.
Hopefully the coalition takes a page from 343 and sees what the fans from the original games want and just make a good game.
As for me I’m feeling pretty burned out of gears if this is the course they wish to continue.
