And there's heaps of these little exploding balls of doom that roll up to you, pushing you out of cover- and I liked that you can give them a kick when they get too close. I'm happy to say, these robots are fun to fight and normally robots aren't- they're boring, weaker drones satisfyingly shatter and explode while bigger ones relentlessly push towards you before making a final kamikaze style charge.
Thankfully for his and our own moral compasses, the COG has started using an all robot army so we don't have worry about shotting any fellow soldiers during this rebelious phase.Įthically convinient and deadly! So yes, there's a whole new enemy to fight with these robots who rain down into battle from cargo planes.
You're JD, Marcus's son, an ex Gear who's decided to jump ship and live with the rebels. Now Gears is kind of the granddaddy of brown games, in my opinion Hex, but there's so much colour in this one! The world is greener and there's even flower beds- flower beds in a Gears game, Hex!Īnd meanwhile our old hero Marcus Fenix settled down and started a family, which is where you come in. But it seems like the giant bomb used to stop the Locust has messed with the weather causing these huge "wind flare" storms that now ravage the planet.Īnd in the years since then the COG went right back to being a giant dictatorial pain the in butt, trying to force everyone to live in giant settlements, while groups of rebels went right back to rejecting them and living out on their own. And following their solid remastering of the original game, this is their first crack at creating a brand new entry into the series.Īnd in a way the story reflects that sort of passing of the torch, it takes place twenty five years after the original trilogy, when the locust threat was stopped by the coalition of ordered governments, aka COG, and its group of elite soldiers, the Gears. Yes, if you like Gears games, then that's good news for you because there's going to be a lot coming. So Microsoft have actually set up an entire studio, The Coalition, exclusively dedicated to making Gears of War games. Yes, but it's worth noting though that similar to what happened with Halo, the original developers at Epic games have moved on. Now at the time of recording VS multiplayer wasn't live, so today we'll just look at the campaign and horde mode. It's been five years since Gears of War 3 wrapped up the original trilogy, but now the gears are turning once more in Gears of War 4.
