Gears 4 felt more like a filler game where a lot of things get introduced but nothing gets carried forward into the rest of the game. The game felt like it was designed exclusively to set up the narrative for Gears 5.

I’m 1 hour into Gears 5 and I felt that the narrative within the first one hour of the game felt a lot better. Gears 4 felt like you were the only living beings out there but gears 5 feels less lonely.

I don’t know how the rest of the game is but this is my first impression.

Multiplayer wise gears 5 is amazing. I have 10 hours in MP and Horde so far and I love the horde mode. MP is a sweatfest like its always been in gears.

    These games feel like they were made for people 30y old than I am. The writing is atrocious…

      That’s weird since the last comment I read said they were 36 and felt it was for people 20 years younger than them.

        20 and 80 seems about the right parallel, they both vote for fascists in droves so it kinda checks out. I’d wager the level of idiocy is neck and neck.
