    Good game - different spin on the GOW universe and surprisingly fits in well even though this is a turn-based, tactical strategy game. Looks excellent on the Series X. I really hope BB continues to sell more digital games at prices and offers competitive with the disc based versions. I would never buy a disc again - the code came within minutes and was seamless.

    people are wining and complaining that this game is too hard! its too difficult!. well they havent clearly played the XCOM game. these games are as challenging as they come. these will put your patience and your planing to the test! dont be expecting full on gears of war warfare, this is not that. this is a turn based shooting/planning. i forgot what they're called. but yes it is hard to dominate at first, but the more you play the better gear you get the easier it comes for you. its around 40+ hours to finish so i think it is worth the money

    Best Gears Game Ever!!

    This is the biggest surprise of the year for me. I could not imagine the very first Gears Tactics game released would become one of the best games in the genre. There is nothing negative to say about this game, the story is great, characters are great and most important of all gameplay is excellent. I already finished the story but I just can't put it down, and since the rewards for completing missions post campaign are higher I just keep on playing. The gameplay loop is very addictive and satisfying.

    Awesome game if you are into real time strategy. It does not play like any of the other games in the series but it is definitely worth it if you are a fan of the series.

    New gameplay style here, "Struck my curiosity, so I picked up immediately when it went on sale by using curbside pickup". Requires strategy style gameplay followed by a mix of execution style strategy gameplay, "Nice", once your strategy is determined, gameplay is executed and has beautiful graphic take down cutscenes. Would Recommend for the gears enthusiast.

    Gears of War meets strategy game

    Gears of War meets Xcom, what's not to love?! Its one of the most solid turn based Games ive played, and ive played just about all of them on consoles. Gameplay is your classic Xcom tactical gameplay, mixed with Gears of War gore and grittiness. Theres a good amount of customization to available, mostly from finding supply crates around the map that contain weapon upgrades for your characters, or new types of body armor, that all have different effects, like extra health, or perk like upgrades like 10% more damage during Overwatch shots. Each character in your squad also gets upgrade points to work towards a pretty good sized skill tree that will give them abilities to change the tide of fights. Theres a lot of new enemies being added throughout the chapters so it keeps everything fresh, but the missions are for the most part very similar and repetitive. As far as plot, the storyline is just a classic Gears story, nothing you haven't seen before if you've played all the gears, but the cut scenes and such look incredible on the Series X. Overall I absolutely love this game. Im sure a lot of people are going to buy it expecting a Gears of War shooter game, and give it bad reviews because of that, but if you like Turn Based games, or Strategy games this, is top notch.

    If you love Gears, you have to take a spin at tactics... This game is WoW, Gears, and C&C all in one!

    NOT A THIRD PERSON SHOOTER

    THIS IS NOT A THIRD PERSON SHOOTER. It's a RPG game. Literally, you have to strategize and only get a limited amount of moves for each troop. It's like playing Chess and Risk. The graphics are super smooth and the gameplay is phenomenal. If you feel trying a different approach and are a huge gears of war fan, highly recommend. If you want the third person shooter, this isn't the game for you.

    This plays like the XCOM series, but with the characters and weapons of Gears of War. Not as deep in strategy as XCOM but it is still fun and the story is good.
