Graphics nice and game play but the story and weapons kind of suck.

Judgment suffered a somewhat incomprehensible fan backlash, as it was "too same", but I liked the no-nonsense approach to the campaign and story. I love the 1st revolutionary GoW entry. The overall trilogy had great gameplay but the narratives and presentation were utterly cringe-worthy. The Coalition mostly followed Judgment here and they gave me another straightforward campaign with little fluff, besides the last 2 chapters (the game randomly turns into Bayformers). Even the evil lizard people were replaced by other lizard people. Why? Who cares at this point. Another over the top, but less tone deaf, black bro-friend is featured, another barely there romance is present and so on. Halo 4 was a better and way bigger step forward by a new studio, yet the even more radical Halo 5 nearly fell off a cliff thereafter, so I wouldn't mind another "meat and potatoes" follow-up. The more colorful visuals are a noteworthy positive too and the game is actually more beautiful than it first seems. More enemy variety (robots get introduced and then mostly disappear after 1,5 hours) and much better new guns will be needed next time. The multiplayer is lastly exactly what one would think it is. More of the same. 7,5/10
Ultimate local co op windows game.

This game is stunning in every sense whether its graphics or it is local co op multiplayer gaming. Story is very good but not as good as GOW 2 i mean the direction. Its a masterpiece game for local co op multiplayers via split screen.
Great work by coalition, Microsoft and rest of the other game developers. Hats off to them.
Fun gameplay but lousy characters

Warning: Spoilers
I know it can be difficult bringing new characters into an already critically acclaimed franchise but these "young'uns" just don't seem believable. JD, Del and Kait talk as if they don't have a soul half of the time, just riffing off each other and snapping corny jokes. This worked in the original three games because we already knew their personalities and when things got serious, it got serious. Now JD's dad (Marcus) is captured and could possibly die but "Let's play rock paper, scissors for who goes into that cave". I get JD had problems with his dad but the game displays him like a sociopath with no feelings. Then when he does get upset, it just isn't believable. Maybe it's the voice actors, i'm not sure. It could also be the animations and just overall tone, i mean blood and guts but the game looks PG-13 compared to the first trilogy. Where's the horror?
The story is mediocre but fun enough to get by and stay interested, that is if it didn't look like a bunch of glorified spoiled rich kids running around aimlessly with a free pass at all the bells and whistles their parents fought for.
I don't hate the game, it's fun, colourful and cinematic. I just don't feel the tone and the characters just aren't believable enough for me which makes the story average at best. That can be said with a lot of controlled in-game interfaces that basically guide you through nearly every challenge. Which a lot of games do now because of the lack of attention spans.
Gameplay- 9/10 Graphics- 9/10 Story- 7/10 Characters- 5/10.

The story mode of this game really bored me to death. We honestly have sci fi robots in gears now? Gears 1 to 3 was amazing, had really great characters like the cole train, had really dope and unforgettable final bosses like general raam....like in all honesty now, was there really a need to continue gears of war right after gears of war 3???....what the creaters and writers should have done was to just do the pendulam wars...or do another storyline that centers in the 14 years that were between the end of the pendulam wars and gears 2. After this I really wont even bother with gears 5, if this game is this bad...how much more with gears 5...I will continue with the first three, which actually has great writing, amazing characters and really menacing enemies that really despise humanity.
