Multiplayer has a lot to offer too
Looks and sounds amazing


The combat retains all the essence of Gears, but feels better than ever.
Excellent balance between nostalgia and a true evolution of the formula.


Stunning gameplay/cinematic transitions
Smoother and more modern gameplay
Excellent solo and multiplayer cooperation
Remarkable French dubbing

Dom and Marcus !!!
[95/100] reviewed at 14/10/2026 - Test de Gears of War: E-Day : Modes Multi ? Plus on est de Gears? ! [read the full review on XBoxOrNot]


Series-leading combat with new slide and jump mechanics
As a setting, Kalona evolves exceptionally throughout the campaign
Fleshes out E-Day while introducing an expanded ensemble cast
Dialogue can be a little hammy
Very minor technical blemishes relating to the persistent, collapsing world


History
Level and character design
Graphics and sound of 10
The additions


A deluge of meticulously crafted battlefields leading to very intense confrontations.
A satisfying variety of enemies and an ideal combination according to the requirements of each "arena".
Satisfactory duration.
Visually stunning, with high-quality visual and sound effects.


Very solid gameplay with many new features
Technically on your PC, it's a show.
Italian dubbing often out of sync, needs to be corrected.
The Xbox version is solid, but it struggles with UE5.


Absolutely stunning graphics
Bombastic gameplay with disgusting gore
Versus & Horde Siege are addictive
Minimal wallbouncing in Versus
The Gnasher is really strong
Versus doesn?t have a mode select
Extremely resources hungry on PC
The Gnasher is really strong


Stunning lighting management;
Dynamic and energetic;
Colossal content;
Generous campaign;
Addictive horde;
Violent and sometimes touching;
Almost no microtransactions.
Disappointing AI;
Different Marcus voice;
Some missing moves;
Minor bugs still present.


Refined Gears gameplay
Top-notch voicework
Horde is a bit dull
Annoying game crashes


A very well-paced campaign
The cooperation is still as effective.
Particularly successful environments
The arsenal enhancement system
A true Gears identity
A rather limited bestiary
Bosses without real interest
A rather low difficulty in normal
A particularly predictable scenario
[8/10] reviewed at 30/09/2026 - Gears of War : E-Day (PC) [read the full review on GameHope]


A gameplay that is well-crafted
The pleasure of cooperation
A feeling of having already played nonetheless
A few bugs


The most necessary things are explained.
The gears can finally skip.
Many accessibility options
Interchangeable difficulty levels at any time, choice of separate difficulty levels in cooperation.
Solo with three AI characters or cooperation
The cover mechanism offers tactical possibilities.
Ammunition depot for weapon modification
Fun and powerfully staged linear sections
In cooperation, each player chooses their own level of difficulty separately.
Many reset points
Detailed textures
Magnificent light and smoke effects
Well-modeled characters with a Gears charm.
Super orgies of destruction
Beautiful implementation of ray tracing (mandatory)
Atmospheric soundtrack to upbeat
Good interpretation in English and German
Directional effects allow you to locate hidden enemies.
Enemy bosses are usually bullet sponges.
The more open regions quickly become boring.
Translation in English: Generally a modification of the generic horde without importance.
The campaign is a bit too long.
No path-tracing available
The German speaker Marcus sounds too old.
Small translation errors in the dialogues


Retrieve the fun essence of the first Gears, with the classic arsenal and some new additions.
Kalona shines with a scandalous brightness.
The modifications and tactical team add options without breaking the formula.
Im dubbing in Spanish is impeccable.
Only five or six types of enemies, some of them real bullet sponges.
The open structure dissolves and many secondary elements are repetitive waves.


Solid cover combat and varied arsenal
Wide variety of enemies during the campaign.
High-level visuals, sound atmosphere, and dubbing
Good accessibility and customization options
The fights have become repetitive in the past few hours.
Few varied side missions
Hand-to-hand combat is below the rest of the gameplay.




Some of the highest visual fidelity in gaming
+
Well-designed early combat encounters
+
Huge open zones filled with collectibles
+
Enjoyable co-op and online multiplayer
-
Campaign lulls in the middle

Feels drawn out overall

Gunplay always as enjoyable
Smartly modernized movements and coverage system
Aggressive Locusts and a bestiary that energizes the battles
Kalona and his evolution throughout the Emergence Day.
An impressive technical achievement
A generally successful French dub
Less convincing open areas in the second half
A series of battles that may seem repetitive to some.
Some technical issues


An artistic direction that immerses you in the atmosphere.
The best of the old and the new
+ Smoother gameplay
+ Diverse chapters
A real exhilarating sensation with a weapon in hand
A split screen!
A significant decrease in visibility depending on the levels


"Larger areas and short secondary activities with useful improvements"
Beautiful graphics and good performance on a mid-range PC.
The translation of the Dutch sentence "Competitieve multiplayer voelt te veel als een shotgunfestijn" into French is :
« Le multijoueur compétitif ressemble trop à une fête au fusil à pompe. »
"Competitive multiplayer feels too much like a shotgun party."
[4/5] reviewed at 09/10/2026 - Test Gears of War E-Day: a hole new world that grubs me up in all the right ways [read the full review on EuroGamer.fr]


High-quality audio and visual atmosphere
All ancient weapons perfectly recreated
Game lifespan
Multiplayer still just as addictive
Marcus Fenix still as charismatic as ever
The story between Marcus and Dom
The two new characters making up Bravo
The final boss far too bland for the experience offered


Excellent sound and vibrations
Realistic environments
Plenty of side quests and collectables
Side quests come in only two flavours and can become monotonous
Campaign feels short for the story it tells


Gears of War: E-Day is the best third-person cover shooter game on the market, thanks to improved fluidity
It's also the longest game in the series
Side content is largely forgettable
Performance on PC is marred by UE5 traversal stuttering


The staging of a civilization in the process of collapse
The most formidable cover system in video games
This memorable act 3
The best sound design of the saga (see box)
Major iconization failures
Who came up with the idea of removing the typical race of Gears ???
Now, Gears of War is a looter-shooter.
With an AI like that, we don't risk the end of the world.
