5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended - Most polished 3rd person shooter to date!
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2016
Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
As someone who has played all the previous Gears of War games and has played a vast majority of well-known and lesser-known 3rd person and 1st person shooters, I have to say that this is one of my favorites.

Pros:
- The campaign is one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had in a long time. The game progressively gets better and more exciting as it goes and without spoiling anything, the game ends in a unique and fun manor as opposed to the traditional "throw everything at them and make it frustratingly hard" type ending.
- The new main characters are funny and relatable in a way that previous Gears games were not. They really nailed the combination of old and new characters and leaving you wanting more.
- The multiplayer is flawless. The dedicated servers help this a lot as there's no noticeable lag since I've started playing. The new game modes are fun and the weapon balancing is on point. In old Gears games, there were times where I wondered how I died and how I didn't get the kill. I can honestly say that when I die in this game, it's because my aim was off and I just straight up lost the battle. The maps are excellent as well and they've also started to implement some of their best maps from previous games.
- Horde mode is now a class based system (although you're not locked into a specific character for each class) and I have to say I'm loving it. It brings an entirely new strategy to the game and forces you to work together as a team. Every 10 levels there is a boss wave that will throw a random boss at you and I have to say, the variety of these is extremely fun. Each enemy has their own "oh s***" abilities and you have to have a completely different strategy depending on which one appears.

Cons:
- Shotguns are more powerful than ever in multiplayer and it may be hard for some players to realize that since the Lancer has always been the staple for the series. Once you learn this, however, the experience gets exponentially better.
- The power in Horde mode is shared between you and your teammates. Therefore if you get one bad apple that just keeps buying useless items in times you don't need them, when the time comes where you need something you may not have it. For the most part I haven't run into this problem too much but it does happen occasionally.

If you've taken some time off from Gears, or are interested in dipping into the franchise a bit, this is the perfect starting point. The game looks incredible, the gameplay is perfect, and it's just tons of gory fun. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Returning to one of my favorite series
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017
Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
I'm pretty late to playing this one. Gears of War has been one of my favorite video game series since I got the first one on the old Xbox 360 back when. It has become tradition for me to coop this with someone on the hardest available difficulty so I can hit the ground running on the single player which this review will primarily be about.

While I know that Coalition paid a lot of attention to the multiplayer as a lot of game developers do these days I was very satisfied with the main campaign. Gameplay is largely the same as it was for the early titles. Gears has always been a shooting gallery with cover tactic mechanics but its among the best shooting galleries you'd find out there on the market. New additions to the single player like a tower defense mode against AI wave attacks. Some new interesting weapons are added to the roster but the classics are also brought back in (torque bow FTW).

Two decades after the eradication of the Locust in the third game, the fourth begins with humanity still trying to rebuild after the devastating war. While the COG and other surviving human groups are trying to get their bearings they find themselves under attack again by a new unknown enemy. You take on the role of James Fenix, son of the series long protagonist Marcus who with his entourage tries to figure out who the new enemy is and how to beat them. I liked the campaign story, I felt there was some fanservice but that's not too big a deal. My biggest qualm with it is the game seemingly trying to state that these new enemies are definitely, totally, not the Locust at all. Even though they basically are but that's just a nitpick. It didn't take away from the fun for me.

The visuals are good, the story had me invested toward the end, the gameplay was fine tuned for it's type and overall I really enjoyed this title. Where they go from here I'm pretty eager to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars An improvement over the previous, crappy Gears of War game....5 stars!
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2017
Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
Gears 4 takes care of many of the issues that plagued the previous game. Playability has increased and it should provide for ours of fun. The holiday touches added (santa hats for COG and reindeer antlers for Horde) are fun and help break up the drabness of some of the maps. Some of the favorite maps are back, with a few new ones added in.

My only complaint thus far is the addition of "credits" to unlock different skins for both the weapons and the characters. Obtaining credits is a slow, boring process and not really worth the time and effort. Instead, I prefer to just focus on answer to the Riddle of Gears. To crush your enemies, to see them sawed in half before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

5.0 out of 5 stars The campaign mode while not as good as those seen in the 1st year Gears game ...
Reviewed in Canada on January 5, 2017
Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
Gears is back! If Judgement left you unsatisfied, this is a refreshing return to the Gears franchise. The campaign mode while not as good as those seen in the 1st year Gears game still tells a very good story and it is very nice to see some old favorites return. The campaign is fairly lengthy, and more so, if you play it on Hardcore or Insane Difficulty---with ACT III probably the hardest.

While the campaign is awesome, most people come to Gears for the multi-player and this is where the game shines. While TDM is still mostly a Gnasher and Lancer fest, other muli-player modes strongly encourage, or force you to use other weapons.

Horde mode is back, and again you will have fun trying to survive to Wave 50---even on Casual and with a good squad of team-mates this is no easy feat---and becomes darn near impossible on the hardest difficulties.

If you are a fan of the franchise, you will love this game. If you are new to Gears this is a good entry point as this game will almost certainly be the start of a new trilogy of games.

5.0 out of 5 stars El regreso del mejor TPS de consolas.
Reviewed in Mexico on October 20, 2016
Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
El regreso en gran forma de la mejor saga de Xbox, y de los mejores juegos de Xbox One junto a Sunset Overdrive y Forza Horizon 3, es un Gears en toda la extensión de la palabra, con buenos jefes, una muy buena variedad de enemigos que esta vez tienen comportamientos muy distintos entre si, y una historia que como era de esperarse empieza lenta por la introducción de los nuevos personajes, pero que dejan ver que se ganaran el cariño de los fans poco a poco.

La campaña tiene una duración decente, 10 - 12 horas, dependiendo de la dificultad y la busqueda de coleccionables, esta bastante pulida y con gráficos que si bien no son la vanguardia como en su momento lo fue el primer título, si están a la altura de la generación actual.

El multiplayer funciona perfectamente y tiene buena variedad para todos los gustos, y la Horda 3.0 es simplemente maravillosa, eso si, necesitas de un equipo confiable para llegar lejos. una compra obligada para los fans de la saga y los TPS.

Si no te gustaron los Gears anteriores, este tampoco te gustará.

En cuanto al servicio de Amazon, es la primera vez que no me hacen cargo doble a la tarjeta y eso se agradece, y bueno ya tengo perfectamente medido el tiempo que tarda en llegarme después de la salida del juego, espero que algún día modifiquen las entregas, para que si lo apartaste con anterioridad a su salida, te llegue el día de salida o un día después cuando mucho.

5.0 out of 5 stars ゴリマッチョ弾丸ハイスピードアクションTPS,再臨‼︎ 追記:対戦について
Reviewed in Japan on December 17, 2016
Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
最新ナンバリングにして次世代のギアーズが、満を持して登場しました。

自分はこのシリーズの銃器やクリーチャーデザイン、キャラクターなどの世界観が非常に気に入っており、毎回キャンペーンを一番の楽しみにしています。

今作は、その点の期待を軽々と超えてくれました。そう、新アクションの"スライディング乗り越え"のように…

この新アクションにより、遮蔽物乗り越えの際カバーを挟まなくても良い仕様になりました。勿論、キック判定も付いています。

更に、カバー中に反対側の敵をXボタンでこちらに引きずり出すこともできるようになり、ワンボタンでのフィニッシュムーヴの追加も相まって接近戦での決定力は大幅に強化されました。感覚としてはトゥーム・レイダーに近いです。

ローディ・ランのスピードもかなり速くなった感じがあるので、狙える時はバシバシ、いやザクザク決めていきましょう。

正に、「これだよ！これが欲しかったんだよ！」という新アクションが追加されています。全体的な操作系は1〜3の時と同じに戻されていて、この点は安心しました。

映像に関してはアンリアルエンジンの本元由来なだけあって文句なしです。ローカスト大戦から25年経ったセラが舞台で、復興と緑化が大分進んだのかメカニカルな大都市や壮大な自然美、エスニック調のデザインなど、従来の荒廃したセラでは見られなかった意匠が見てとれます。

バランス面では、3にて悪い意味で苦しめられた弾薬の枯渇や立体的過ぎて把握しづらいステージ構成、ジャッジメントでの、ソロプレイには無慈悲すぎる物量攻撃等は大分緩和され、良い具合にドンパチできる様になりました。

今作ではスナイパーライフル系が大幅強化されており、インセインではなんと即死攻撃となっております。しかもカバーが甘いと簡単に射抜かれるので、ポジショニングには今まで以上に配慮が必要です。

このシリーズの根本は超骨太のアクションシューティングです。最近、ダークソウル3をプレイしてレベルデザインの圧倒的な均整に度肝を抜かれたのですが、ギアーズはそれと違い、「レベルアップによる自キャラの強化」がそもそも出来ないので、自分が上手くなるしかありません。

このような、「完全プレイヤースキル依存」のストイックなゲーム性がGears Of Warシリーズの醍醐味な気がします。

残念だった点としては、新要素のウィンドフレア。暴風により物理演算が乱れ、落雷によりダメージを受ける新システムですが、正直、煮詰めきれてないです。しかし、これから化けるようなポテンシャルはあるので期待したいと思います。

それと、ストーリー。このシリーズのキャラやクリーチャー、武器デザインはかなり練り込まれててお気に入りなのですが、せっかく魅力的な世界観がありながらシナリオがお粗末なのは、かなり勿体無い気がします。

3まではマーカスはじめメインキャラのアクの強い魅力が素晴らしく、その点は特に気にすることもありませんでした。

しかし今作では新キャラのJD、ケイト、デルの３人が、途中で参加する旧主人公のマーカスの存在感に完全に食われてしまっています。むしろ、ストーリーそのものが旧キャラの存在感に引っ張られてる気もしました。

初代からのファンとしてはその辺は非常に楽しめたのですが、折角世界観を一新するなら、マーカスを肥やしにしてでもJD達のキャラを立たせて欲しかったです。新クリーチャーのスウォームも、ローカストに比べるとあまり…。

今回は北米版でありながら非常に秀逸なローカライズがなされているので、尚更そう思ってしまいました。日本語字幕に関しては文句なしです。細かいニュアンスまでほぼ完璧に仕上げられています。これには本当に感謝です。

色々言いましたが、結局ゲームはプレイヤーが面白いと感じればそれで良く、そして今作はその点において超一級品として"新生"いや"再臨"を果たしているので、ぜひ手にとってブチかましてほしいです。

追記…
最近、オンライン対戦にデビューしました。オンはこの4にして初めてです。

まず注意事項ですが、このゲームの対戦にマナーやモラルというのを期待するというのは間違いだ、ということです(さんざ言われてますが…)。

まずプレイアブルキャラクター自身が

「残念だったなク◯野郎！！」
「来世で頑張りな！！」
「(ダウンした相手に向かって)おいおいどこ行くんだ？笑」
「F**k you」

…といった言葉を普通に口にする上、プレイヤーによる味方のマウント処刑に便乗した集団リンチ、キルカメラを意識したスクワットや腰振り、オーバーキル、中指代わりにピストルを上に向ける等、ほぼ全てのプレイヤーが思いつく限りの方法で煽ってきます。

…個人的には、キャンペーンであれだけカッコ良かったマーカスやベアード、コール、サム達がそういったことをやってるのを初めて見た時、かなりショックでしたが、まぁ元々ダウンした相手に対して複数の処刑アクションが用意されてるようなゲームなので、恐らく元から煽り推奨なのでしょう。

上記のような事態が許容できるか否かが、オンラインへの第一適正判断かと思われます。自分はもう慣れました。

さて、ゲーム面に関してですが、自他共に体力が自動回復する仕様上、ランサー等のライフル系は専ら牽制か援護用となり、白眉はナッシャーショットガンにて至近距離でのシバき合いとなります。

このナッシャーですが、至近距離だと当て方に少々クセがあり、故に様々なテクニックが編み出されています。

基本的には死角から忍び寄って至近距離でブチ当てるのですが、集弾性を活かすためにエイムと射撃を同時に行う「ポップショット」、スライディングとカバーキャンセルを利用して壁から壁へピンボールのように移動して撹乱する「ウォールバウンス」等、キャンペーンとは全く別の様相が呈されています。

気になる方はYoutube等で「Gears Of War 4 Gnasher Tips」で検索してみると、参考になる動画がいくつもヒットします。

このナッシャー合戦ですが、妙な中毒性があり、連続でキルが決まるとなかなかどうして愉快な気分になってしまいます笑

マッチングはチームデスマッチやキング・オブ・ヒル(陣取り合戦)は比較的すぐに始まりますが、他は過疎ってる時が多い印象です。

ボロクソにやられると時に心が荒んでしまいそうになりますが、マッチのレベリング自体は結構バランスが取れている(たまにチームが一人欠けた状態で始まるのを除けば)ので、上記のマナー面に関して覚悟が出来た方は、是非飛び込んでみましょう。

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great game.
Reviewed in Canada on August 3, 2017
Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
This is a great game. My biggest gripe would be that it is a little too familiar from the other Gears and does not innovate much. But this was the first project by a new developer (The Coalition) who had a huge task as their first project. I don't think any Gears fan would be disappointed from this first effort and the developer brings out free updates and maps every month. Competitive multiplayer is a blast but it is difficult and punishing for new players to Gears. The key to success in this game is not the shooting, it is the movement system and there is a lot more to it than meets the eye.

If you want a free copy for PC, then you have to purchase the digital copy -- I made this mistake.
