Pretty good game. I like the combat. The camera can be a bit troublesome at times. The final boss fight had me struggling with the constant unblockables and tiny amounts of damage though. Once you learn the mechanics everything is fun and really immerses you into the Star Wars universe. I can't really nitpick much since I didn't play with that mindset. I had a good time. Would recommend.

Since everyone is asking,SPOILER ALERT! Close your eyes on the way to the bottom or something. (If you don't want to read the whole thing go to the bottom for a summary.) I have played every single game in the Gears of War saga thus far. As the game stands right now, I can't recommend it. I mean I love the game but it doesn't feel complete and needs some serious work if this title is going to live the next 3 months. Also, where is my curb stomping? Was that execution removed or something?

The multiplayer is fun to say the least. Versus feels like how it should be. I played a few games of team deathmatch and I am very satisfied about the damage of weapons, power weapon spawn times, the selection of weapons each round and where they are placed. Seems fine so far.

I've had my fair share of random disconnections and crashes in the past couple days.That problem should be eliminated quickly throughout the next few updates.

One big issue I have with the game right now is the customization. There aren't nearly enough characters in this game to play as. What happened to all of the characters we love? Remember that huge lineup of characters we had in Gears 3? We can't play as Cole or even Baird? There aren't any skins for Marcus even though he's changed his look over the past several games. In the past games you unlocked skins over each act of the campaign. What happened to that? Apex Legends had a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of skins for every single weapon and character on release. In the ultimate edition purchase you get a boost that allows you to level up quickly and gain exp to gain supply drops...but why is there nothing to get but banners, stale emotes and the same 3 skins for every single gun? I haven't played on the Locu- sorry I mean "Swarm" side yet and I really don't want to. There definitely needs to be more characters to play as. Not to mention that there is already a micro-transaction shop available...go figure. What can you buy there, you ask? In-game currency, emotes, character skins and weapon skins! None are intriguing at all. I don't know about you, but I don't want to spend anymore money after buying the ultimate edition. Moving on...

Horde:
I think these gamemodes are awesome! I've always loved horde since the day Gears 2 was released. In this game though, so far, I'm underwhelmed. Not sure if it's the game's fault for the amount of people leaving, but, man there are a lot of people that leave after wave 3. I may be the only one that feels this way, but I disagree with the addition of AI Friendlies for whenever someone leaves. Feels like I have to protect a useless kid or two, or three from waves of aggressive animals. The enemies are not my favorite either. I would go on to complain about the "Flock" and "Leeches" but they're already there to stay. I don't like them. Feels like they added it because they need to fill in a spot and have a reason to turn our robots against us. Must've run out of ideas for enemies. That's just a complaint from the "I want Gears 3 back" side of me. I do like the addition of abilities in this game though. An interesting twist indeed and a good way to make people fight over who plays Emile and Fahz. Also, apparently you're able to play as Jack, the bot. I tried to and have seem others attempt it but always get switched into some other character. So either we're all getting punked or maybe it's another bug. Lemme know if you know.

Escape:
Yes. I love this gamemode. Good. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Job. You can make your own maps...double good job. I've always loved making custom games for my friends and I on Halo Reach, now I get to do it on gears! Not even going to complain that I can't do it for other gamemodes. Good job here! The only issue is the amount of characters. Everyone wants to play Keegan and Emile. Also, everyone leaves after you fail and you start right back at the beginning through the cutscene again.

Campaign:
The first act felt great and smooth. After that it was kinda messy. If don't you want SPOILERS, DON'T READ this part. After JD pulls the stunt with hammer of dawn he pretty much becomes a side character after that. I really dislike the path they took with the characters. It felt like the realistic reactions they would have but Kait becoming the main character and pushing the son of our beloved Marcus to the bench? Just... why? It made no sense to me. Maybe if he were in the coma for the time you played as Kait and Del but not after. That just made no sense to me. It only gave me the "Woman Power!" vibes in the manliest game franchise to ever be released. Remember how in the old games you were given the choice to take a path while your buddy takes the other? Well that's not in this game even though there was a perfect opportunity for it in the first act with the rockets. Also, in the segments with the skiff and all of the places you needed to travel from place to place in a desert and in a tundra, it all felt tedious and boring. Except for the storms in the desert. Either way those parts didn't really feel like Gears to me.

The ending:
Spoilers are here too...obviously... At the end of the game, you are given a choice. Kait's mother appears as the Queen with tentacles and ♥♥♥♥, looking like she was tortured into submission then spliced into an octopus monster. Reminded me of Dom's wife with her face. The choice was to either take your knife and throw it at the tentacle holding Del by the throat or the tentacle holding JD by the throat. This had to have been the dumbest and most poorly written choice I have ever come across in a game ever. Of course I will choose the son of the main man Marcus. What decision is to even be made? Sure he's a hotheaded dumbass that's made some poor decisions, but they've all worked out, sorta. A much better choice than Del anyway. He's just an idiot made for comic relief. If he didn't keep reminding me he was near me with his constant complaining I would've forgotten he was even in the game. The choice was the crybaby, Del or the daddy's boy, JD. I've put some thought into it...there was a perfectly good opening for Kait to just throw the knife into her mothers face, but that just...wasn't an option for some reason. Even though before that choice was given, Kait screamed "YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER!" so there was no reason for her not to kill then and there. Oh wait...gotta make another Gears game though right?

Summary
Anyway if you didn't read all of that then this should sum it up for you. People keep leaving in Horde and Escape games. There aren't enough enemies, let alone characters to be interested in. The campaign was ungearslike and dumb to make JD the side character and even giving the option to kill him off over Del, the character that no one could care less about . They added micro-transactions which speaks for itself. We could've killed Kait's mother (again) but couldn't because money. Some crash and disconnection errors in multiplayer. Little to no customizations out there for the characters. Jack is apparently unplayable in horde. Where is my curb stomping?! The emotes and voice lines you can get are stale from most characters. That about does it. The game just feels like it's in beta, yet they have you pay $60-$80 for it. Also, DON'T GET THE ULTIMATE EDITION, its not worth it whatsoever. trust me just don't.

Listen up all game devs! I know that fortnite is doing very well, business-wise, but can we stop trying to make the same exact shop in every game now. It's just too obvious and it's quite the turn-off when it comes to any game other than a battle royale. It's only gonna push people away at this point.

Edit: Lemme know in the comments what you think about the game if you've played or seen it. Also, I would like to hear you're opinions about it before and after you read this, if you'd be so kind. Have fun out there!

Not bad, would play some more!
I think this game has been an amazing experience. It's even better with a group of friends. I haven't encountered any bugs which is nice. Being a bit of a nooby isn't that big a deal. It's easy to catch on to how to evade killers, set up your characters and perks. There's an entire arsenal of perks for many different play styles, not to mention the items to choose from (the amount of items isn't to large nor too small). Some maps are crappy and a pain to the eye when loaded in. Some killers are annoying as hell to play against (Freddy, Legion, Leatherface) or I'm just bad. But either way, that's the bad taste of it and I still love it. I'd recommend to any group of friends looking for fun horror game to play.

Edit: Michael Myers, the Pig and Ghost Face are terrifying!

I believe that this game is an amazing experience, but certainly needs some work. There are still some bugs and glitches can be quite a pestilance. Though, overall I think this game perfect for releasing anger and unleashing your dark side. GOOD GAME!
