I played, and enjoyed, the first three Gears of War, but I don't think I'll ever get Gears 5, and the meain reason is Gears 4. MSoft decided to use this game and the remaster of the first one to push for its Store to compete with Steam, and they did so in a way that neither of those games can be launched on Steam. And since Gears 5 follows the story unvelied in Gears 4, it doesn't make sense for me, a single player guys, to get Gears 5 because I won't know what's going on. |
I can only recommend it, specially if you find it for less than 10 euros.
I've never liked Gears of War as a saga, and 4 wasn't great from what I've heard. But I think the 5th is excellent.
You get a recap of the Gears 4 story when you start Gears 5 or in the menu of the game (plus explaination of every characters). The fact that I'm so hooked on this Gears is probably because the main character is Kait Diaz. She's got enormous charisma and has 'enemy' blood in her, which means she can turn to the other side at any moment. Another reason is the open world aspect. The gameplay also offers the possibility, among many other things, of adopting a very appreciable stealth approach.
The other co-op/multiplayer modes are so numerous that I'd say it's a rare treat for this kind of game.
