Gears has now climbed to 89 Opencritic with 50 reviews. As long as the multiplayer servers aren't total crap, I think it may stay this high. If it does stay this high, possible GOTY nomination, it's now October and Gears E-Day is currently one of only 4 AAA releases on the first page of Opencritic's top 2026 releases, the others being Forza Horizon 6 (Keighley and the critics always shaft it on GOTY due to it not being super story focused), Fire Emblem, and Resident Evil Requiem. Obviously GTA 6 is coming for one of those nomination spots and will almost certainly be the winner this year, but it would be nice to see Gears nominated.
