After being underwhelmed by the Gears 4 hype train, The Coalition's debut effort is actually a tremendous success.

AngryCentaurGaming - Jeremy Penter - Buy

VGChartz - Evan Norris - No Verdict

Rich in content and a joy to play, Gears of War 4 is one of the year's best games and, arguably, Microsoft's greatest eighth generation exclusive so far.

TechnoBuffalo - Joey Davidson - Buy

I liked this game. A lot. As someone who loves the Gears franchise and found myself frustrated with its recent direction, it’s good to have a proper Gears game that feels like a new chapter in the original saga.

Ars Technica - Sam Machkovech - No Verdict

Bottom line: Online-shooter fans and 4K enthusiasts should buy.

PC Gamer - Wes Fenlon - No Verdict

A gorgeous campaign that plays it too safe and ends up feeling far too familiar.

TechRaptor - Alex Santa Maria - No Verdict

Gears of War 4 isn’t the revelation that the original game was a decade ago, but it’s not trying to be. Instead, Gears 4 succeeds as a solid iteration on the formula, providing great action and unique combat that will please most anyone who gives it a shot. The campaign is an action movie romp that hits all the right notes, and the multiplayer seems like a solid step up from what came before. Assuming the servers aren’t crushed underfoot by a Brumak on launch day, I can find little reason not to recommend Gears 4 to anyone itching for some action on Xbox One.

Honest Gaming Reviews - Unknown - 10 / 10.0

After narrowly escaping an attack on their village, JD Fenix and his friends, Kait and Del, must rescue the ones they love and discover the source of a monstrous new enemy.

NZGamer - Luke Batt - 10 / 10.0

A gleefully gritty, gruesome, and grand continuation of the franchise.

Entertainment Buddha - Matt Heywood - 98 / 100

Gears of War 4 packs a great story, interesting new characters, and very sound gameplay. Its visuals are stunning to say the least, especially if you have a 4K TV that supports HDR and the Xbox One S. It's definitely one of 2016's best, and should be played even if you've never played a Gears of War game before.

COGconnected - Rory Wood - 96 / 100

Gears 4 is smoother all around than past games while retaining that heavy weight to characters.

CGMagazine - Jed Whitaker - 9.5 / 10.0

Gears of War 4 is a return to form and easily the best game in the series thanks to new weapons and an all-new class-based Horde mode that will keep you coming back for more.

GamingTrend - Travis Northup - 95 / 100

Gears of War 4 is the Gears revival that fans have been waiting for, and proof that the franchise is in the right hands.

God is a Geek - Mick Fraser - 9.5 / 10.0

Gears of War returns with a bang. Consistently thrilling and relentlessly entertaining, Gears 4 is comfortably one of the best shooters of the generation so far.

Game Informer - Andrew Reiner - 9.3 / 10.0

The campaign is too familiar at times, but the gameplay is top notch. All multiplayer modes showcase high levels of depth and reasons to come back

Gamerheadquarters - Jason Stettner - 9.2 / 10.0

Gears of War 4 proudly moves forward while retaining and respecting what made the first three games so strong.

IGN - Ryan McCaffrey - 9.2 / 10.0

The five-player Horde mode, however, is once again where Gears’ multiplayer shines brightest. The tower-defense elements introduced in Gears 3 have been iterated on for the better here.

Attack of the Fanboy - William Schwartz - 4.5 / 5 stars

Gears of War 4 is exactly what you've come to expect a Gears of War game to be over the years -- an impressive visual showcase in the campaign, with the accompanying competitive and cooperative modes to keep you busy long after the credits roll. Its good to finally see a new Gears of War game on the Xbox One. The wait has been long for Gears of War 4, and now we've seen that the wait has been worth it.

Game Rant - Riley Little - 4.5 / 5 stars

Gears of War makes its grandiose return on Xbox One and PC, those sorely missing the series can rest easy knowing that the franchise is back and better than ever.

AR12Gaming - Alan - 9 / 10

Gears of War 4 is one of the best shooters out there, with an exhilarating campaign, the most competitive and social Versus Multiplayer so far, and a cooperative Horde experience that puts the player back in control with emergent gameplay. With a fantastic PC version with several settings to change and tweak to your liking, along with Xbox Play Anywhere features, Gears of War 4 remains a great experience, regardless of the platform you play it on.

Level Down Games - Bryan Clutter - 9 / 10.0

I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy this entry as much as I did the previous trilogy since it changed developers, but how silly I was to even think it’d be anything less than amazing. Gears of War 4 is hands down one of the best games released so far in 2016. The Coalition nailed the feel and atmosphere of the series perfectly, and the future for fans is looking brighter than it ever has.

Gadgets 360 - Rishi Alwani - 9 / 10

If you were worried that the series might have lost its way with Epic Games no longer developing it, rest easy. Gears of War 4 is the ultimate package of gory, visceral gameplay, and fantastic production values. This is quite definitely one of the best, if not the very best, games in the series.

Expansive - Unknown - 9 / 10.0

Gears of War 4 is gratifyingly grisly and a genuine Game of the Year Contender

TrustedReviews - Brett Phipps - 4.5 / 5 stars

Gears Of War 4 does everything required to bring the franchise roadie-running into 2016 without losing what made it so good to begin with. One of the best games on the Xbox One.

Polygon - Arthur Gies - 9 / 10.0

Gears of War 4 is a remarkably complete package.

Worth Playing - Brian Dumlao - 9 / 10.0

If anything, Gears of War 4 shows that The Coalition can handle the series going forward. From the single-player to the co-op and multiplayer, every aspect of the game sings with quality as they successfully blend old traditions with new mechanics. There's already a ton of content in the game, which is great at giving you many possible ways to access it all. While the PC is the preferred platform to play the game, the Xbox One version is no slouch, as it still comes up with a solid experience. Overall, action fans will have a blast with this title.

EGM - Ray Carsillo - 9 / 10.0

Gears of War 4 looked at the series’ core formula and figured that if it wasn’t broken, don’t fix it. Most of the additions The Coalition put onto that core simply helped enhance and refine something that was already great. A couple of missteps were made, but this is still a great overall entry in the franchise.

DualShockers - Ryan Meitzler - 9 / 10.0

Despite that pressure, The Coalition have proved with Gears of War 4 that the team is more than capable of providing an experience that falls in line with the titles that came before it by staying reverent and faithful to the original games (sometimes to a fault), but with enough layers of intrigue and new additions to make Gears of War 4 an admirable continuation of the Gears story. Like with the relationship of Marcus and J.D. throughout the game, Gears of War 4 sticks close to the legacy of its predecessors, but along the way is on the way to writing one of its own.

PixelVulture - Marco Cocomello - 88%

Gears of War 4 is a fresh new take on the Gears series. New characters, enemies, and a refreshing new story, will be a welcome new direction for the series for years to come.

Gaming Nexus - Jeremy Duff - 8.8 / 10.0

A strange combination of both familiar territory and a fresh feeling, Gears of War 4 provides and enjoyable and robust experience. While there isn't much new ground broken in the experience, it does a lot to remind us what was so great about the original games in the first place.

SA Gamer - Marko Swanepoel - 8.6 / 10.0

If you’ve been a long-time Gears fan, you have no reason to worry. This is definitely all you asked for and then some. If you’re a casual Gears fan, I’d still recommend it purely for the fact that it is an incredibly solid package and will last you a considerable amount of time. For those that do not enjoy the franchise, you won’t find anything new to sway your opinion since this is a refinement of the traditional formula and more importantly a continuation of the legacy.

Xbox Achievements - Richard Walker - 85%

A cracking first effort from The Coalition, Gears of War 4 might be the studio playing it safe for its first proper go around with Gears, but it successfully manages to retain everything that's special about the series while re-igniting mankind's struggle for survival on Sera. That means there will be sequels. Lots of sequels. Fortunately, Gears of War 4 is a superb game, so if they're anything like this, bring 'em on.

Arcade Sushi - Luke Brown - 8.5 / 10.0

Gears of War 4 is a worthwhile successor that brings back all of the brutal combat, addictive multiplayer and waist-high walls you remember in a terrific return to form.

USgamer - Jaz Rignall - 4 / 5 stars

The Gears of War series returns in fine form. The well-scripted and fantastic-looking campaign ends rather abruptly, but while it lasts, it's an exciting thrill ride of intense firefights and over-the-top set pieces. It can feel a little repetitive and relentless at times, but overall it's a lot of fun. The game's six-mode multiplayer PvP feels refined and well designed, and offers plenty of long-term potential, while Horde 3.0 is ideal for those who want to join friends in a long, and very challenging firefight.

GamesRadar+ - David Houghton - 4 / 5 stars

Gears of War is fresh and exciting again, and its future is potentially even more so.

Digital Spy - Sam Loveridge - 4 / 5 stars

The multiplayer does enough to round-out a good Gears of War package. The single-player campaign isn't the strongest in Gears' five-game history. Much as we respect the change of style and like the interplay, the characters are dull and the set-pieces not as compelling as those in the original Gears and its two sequels – or even Gears of War: Judgement for that matter.

Metro GameCentral - Unknown - 8 / 10

The story campaign can be a little bland, at least when playing on your own, but otherwise this does a fine job of bringing Gears into the current gen.

Lazygamer - Alessandro Barbosa - 8 / 10.0

Gears of War 4 is a satisfying, if not overly familiar, return to some of the series’ best beats. A distinctly dark campaign dishes out welcome surprises and disappointing repeats in equal measure, while its refined Horde mode and thoroughly engaging multiplayer round off a package that any franchise fan should be happy to rev through.

Digitally Downloaded - Jim S. - 4 / 5 stars

Gears of War 4 is the best game in the series so far with more likable characters and a better and more well-written story. The story of friendship and family fits well with the summer blockbuster style that the series has always strived for. Full of action, some humour and maybe even a few scares thrown in with the mix, more than anything else it looks like The Coalition is determined to mature the Gears franchise, and that is hardly a bad thing at all.

Hardcore Gamer - Adam Beck - 4 / 5.0

Don’t go into Gears of War 4 expecting a thought provoking story; go into it for its action packed scenarios, superb multiplayer experience and top tier shooting mechanics.

Destructoid - Brett Makedonski - 8 / 10.0

The nature of Gears of War 4 is that we won't know its legacy until there are more games in the canon. That's frustrating now but it'll hopefully be exciting later. This was a fine first showing but it'd be nice to see The Coalition carve its own identity for Gears of War. Using Epic's foundation is understandable and expected, but it often feels like a crutch. Marcus' boy had grown up just like him.

We Got This Covered - Jowi Meli - 4 / 5 stars

Gears of War 4 is a solid and enjoyable, if overly familiar, entry in the beloved cover-shooter franchise. Veterans will feel right at home, while newcomers will feel welcome.

High-Def Digest - Levi van Tine - 4 / 5 stars

'Gears 4' gives me the same sense of wonder and excitement playing through the campaign as I first had with Marcus and Dom a decade ago. It is a 'Gears' for a new generation, and The Coalition has risen to the occasion to give a top notch package with heaps of production and replay value both. The Ultimate Edition specifically is not worth its hefty price tag, but 'Gears of War 4' itself should not be missed.

iDigitalTimes - Bob Fekete - 4 / 5 stars

Gears of War 4 maintains the same tight third-person shooting mechanics we’ve loved over the years, along with everyone’s favorite: chest-high walls.

Rocket Chainsaw - Andrew Cathie - 4 / 5 stars

When all is said and done, Gears of War 4 is an excellent follow up to the Gears of War trilogy on Xbox 360. Whether you’re a returning Gear or a brand new recruit, Gears of War 4 is perfect for both of you.

TheSixthAxis - Matt Wingler - 8 / 10

The Coalition had a tall task in bringing Gears of War to a new generation for their first original game under the banner, and they mostly pulled it off with class. The competitive multiplayer isn’t much of an evolution from previous efforts, and the campaign drags for a bit, but the high points make it worth the ride and the new Horde mode is simply stellar. If you’ve enjoyed this franchise previously or have a few friends looking for co-op, give Gears of War 4 a close look – it’s definitely worth the time.

TrueAchievements - Rebecca Smith - 4 / 5 stars

While the gameplay and storyline certainly aren't lacking and will likely keep Gears fans amused, The Coalition seems reluctant to let the past go and to move on. Away from the campaign, there are tweaks to competitive multiplayer that include a couple of new game modes, but the real focus of the title is the improved Horde mode. It is here that players will spend the majority of their time and where the real enjoyment lies.

Do You Even Game Bro? - Kieran Stockton - 7.2 / 10.0

While technically solid, Gears of War 4 feels less like a fresh new story in the Gears universe and more of a retreading of old ideas

GamingBolt - Ravi Sinha - 7 / 10.0

Gears of War 4 is more of the same but that's not a bad thing. The campaign is fun to get through with a decent story and characters while Horde 3.0 offers some excellent action with friends. However, it's all a bit too familiar at this point and we expect a bit more.

PCWorld - Hayden Dingman - 3.5 / 5 stars

Gears of War 4 struggles with pacing issues and a bland protagonist, but it works well as a passing-the-torch installment bridging the old and new trilogies.

GameSpot - Mike Mahardy - 7 / 10

Gears of War 4 makes the best of the franchise's multiplayer modes, but delivers a lackluster campaign in the process.

The Jimquisition - Jim Sterling - 7 / 10.0

The combat of the campaign is fundamentally sound, the multiplayer is well crafted as always (despite the usual shotty problem), and Horde mode is great entertainment. As a complete package, the game is worthy, if only for the fact it’s a Gears game and the true heavy lifting was already done by Epic in 2006.

Nevertheless, the campaign is flimsy, and despite claims of signifying a new generation for the series, Gears of War 4 is ultimately an upholder of the status quo.

Post Arcade (National Post) - Chad Sapieha - 7 / 10.0

The Coalition’s first effort in a series known for over-the-top spectacle is surprisingly restrained, at least in its campaign
