About

The game from the famous game designer Cliff Bleszinski. Gears of War for many years has become the hallmark of the game console from Microsoft. Gears of War is a third-person shooter that uses a cover system from the game Kill Switch as the main game mechanics: the protagonist sticks to the walls, ledges and other elevations on the map, shooting back at the enemies. This is the first game of the series.

The action takes place on the exoplanet Sera. On it, there is a stronghold of human civilization, which after a thousand-year conflict is on the verge of collapse. Underneath all the main human cities, dwells the Locust Horde - inhuman monsters the size of a truck.

The player becomes a soldier Marcus Phoenix from the Coalition of Ordered Governments. The action begins 14 years after the first contact: the prison in which the Phoenix was kept attacked by The Horde. An old friend helps Marcus to get out and thus begins an adventure to save the world from chthonic invaders.

Gears of War reviews and comments

Great game to feel how human testosterone destroys waves of aliens enemies
«Blew my mind»
A shooter or just a horror game? For me, I always liked this game for its melancholic atmosphere and gray tones.

Great graphics for its time, which looks great even now. The level design is top notch. In the truest sense of the word. The gigantism in which all of the buildings are designed. You really look at them and feel. You realize that once there was a great civilization, but now there are ruins.

Everything in its place. The game really opens up on the "Insane" difficulty. When you weight every action and appreciate every cover. Shoot without sticking out. Giving commands to your mates. All this turns into a tactical shooter and spins the game.

I personally passed the game solo on "Insane", which made me sweat, but the goal justified the means. The harder the goal is to achieve, the more you still appreciate.

A wonderful game of the golden era 00's.

Played through all the games last year. Definitely very cool series. Not a fan of how bullet-spongey the enemies are hut still clean gameplay
One word: "CHAINSAW"
«Better with friends»
