This looks honestly really good. Gears always looked like another shooter at face value, but it always had a great story and a lot of heart. They had a great trilogy, and then they lost that heart for 4/5, so much that I didn’t even bother with 5. E-Day here could be exactly what the franchise needs, a reboot of the gut feelings we had when playing the original, and the added benefit of it being a prequel so it could pull in new fans. I’m hopeful for it.

That being said it’s xbox exclusive and I’m linux-only so no way to play :/
