This is NOT my review…

Here’s the review…

The Jist:

4 out of 5

Positives
Return to traditional Gears of War gameplay
Improved Horde Mode
New multiplayer modes

Negatives
Campaign plays it safe
Overly familiar enemies

Ethics Statement:
The reviewer spent nearly 16 hours wielding a chainsaw in many different situations. It didn’t always work – apparently Windflares are immune to their effect. She earned 34 of the game’s 75 achievements. A Play Anywhere version of the game was provided by the publisher, but the game was played solely on the Xbox One for the purpose of this review.

I’m loving the game so far. Gnasher feels smooth, maps are good sized. Frame rate is solid. Haven’t played horde yet.

Trying to determine if I want to play anywhere this game. Game will run on my PC but it is a beast.

What I’ve played so far I’ve enjoyed. But I can’t connect to anyone when I play on PC…so yeah. Not getting the enjoyment out of it I really wanted.

They are working on fixes. But damn…this is stuff that should have been prepared for. Its a major release…that features cross-play. Maybe should have done more testing. Just maybe.

I will say though it looks amazing on pc. Haven’t bumped it up to 4k yet, but 1440 looks sweet.
