Visually, it's the most impressive thing I've ever seen.
The combat retains all the essence of Gears, but feels better than ever.
Excellent balance between nostalgia and a true evolution of the formula.
We would have liked the campaign to last even longer.

Sells the trauma and cost of war like no other Gears game before
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
Side quests feel like an introduction to Horde Siege rather than anything of substance
Dialogue can be a little hammy
Very minor technical blemishes relating to the persistent, collapsing world

Review Gears of War E-Day by GameOver
The addition of the jump naturally enriches kinesiology without altering the DNA of the gameplay in any way.
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.

A brand new campaign, rich and exciting
Very solid gameplay with many new features
Technically on your PC, it's a show.
A few small uncertainties on the balance side
Italian dubbing often out of sync, needs to be corrected.
The Xbox version is solid, but it struggles with UE5.

The sensations of shooting are always excellent.
A very well-paced campaign
The cooperation is still as effective.
Particularly successful environments
The arsenal enhancement system
A true Gears identity
Gameplay that evolves very little
A rather limited bestiary
Bosses without real interest
A rather low difficulty in normal
A particularly predictable scenario

Quickly internalized control without frills
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.
Some functions must be discovered by oneself (such as marking 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

Review Gears of War E-Day by Areajugones
The perfect prequel: tells a key part of the saga's story.
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.
The countryside is too flat and repeats too many areas already covered.
Only five or six types of enemies, some of them real bullet sponges.
The open structure dissolves and many secondary elements are repetitive waves.

High-level visuals, sound atmosphere, and dubbing
Good accessibility and customization options
Unstable performance on PC
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.

A sometimes predictable and very classic story. A Marcus/Dom relationship that deserved more development. A structure that ends up becoming repetitive. Some reused locations and situations. Some bugs that can temporarily break immersion.

Review Gears of War E-Day by Beyond Gaming
Nice campaign with varied enemies and boss fights.
"Larger areas and short secondary activities with useful improvements"
Beautiful graphics and good performance on a mid-range PC.
The ancillary activities remain quite superficial in substance.
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."

The visuals are among the best yet in an UE5 game
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
The narrative is a step back from the intriguing plot of Gears 5
Side content is largely forgettable
Performance on PC is marred by UE5 traversal stuttering

The Gears have started using hyrox.
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)
Big missed opportunity on the scenario
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.
