    Another great entry in the Gears series. Highly recommended. Follow the continuing story of JD’s crew as you getting in deeper into the story where Gears 4 left off.

    The action is second to none. Cool weapons and great campaign length. I just wish Kate wasn’t the main character. That’s the worse part of the whole thing.
