Gears of War 4 launched back on October 11, 2016, and landed to largely positive critical reception. It’s the fourth entry into the core Gears of War franchise, and was the first to be developed by The Coalition rather than Epic Games. As before, Gears of War 4 is a third-person shooter that sees humanity facing off against mutants, with all the ultra-voilence that you’d expect to go with it.
