Gears of War 4 Achievements List

Here's the official list of gamer achievements for GOW4.

A couple achievements are secret until the game is released. As usual, if you read this list you risk learning about the game. 

Some of the achievements are classic Gears such as active reload and pack rat which is nice to see. 

What's very amusing is the 'I'm Drumpf' tag given to what used to be (IIRC), the 'seriously' achievement. That's a political statement made by Rod Fergusson and the game's developers about Donald Trump. Makes me wonder how that got by Microsoft's squad of a million lawyers.

Gears of War 4 campaign review

Gears of War 4 Campaign Review

Gears of War 4 Campaign Review


The saddest part of GOW4 is that it's heart and soul in the form of Dom
Is missing.

That's about the harshest thing we can say about this fourth Gears of War campaign.

Set some 20 odd years after Gears 3, this all new campaign features JD Fenix, a young buck with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

In once sense it's the weight because he's intent on saving Sera from another damn generation of the Locust Horde, the other weight is living up to the fact he is the only son of the Legendary Marcus Fenix.

The guy who saved the people of Sera by killing the Locust Queen. It's a tough gig for anyone to follow.

But follow with bombast does JD Fenix. A worthy pretender to the throne as one of the COG's best, well he would be if COG was still worthy of its name.

As far as the game play of this campaign goes, it cannot be beaten. While Gears of War: Judgement was arguably the beast gears game in the sense of playing the game, Gear of War 4 is the ultimate realisation of the franchise.

And that's saying a lot as the Closing game of the trilogy was the perfect finale to the series.

Which makes this game quite hard to review because in any ordinary other sense, Gears 4 is dumb as nuts but that's the Gears franchise for you.

Plot wise, you've seen this before. It's about killing copious amounts of bad guys through out some darn in genius set pieces.

Some of them feel almost impossible on the campaign's insanity mode - but that's the appeal of Gears 4, it's a tough and unrelenting game.

That said, it retains that dark humour and boyish crudity that pervade even the first classic Gears game.

Every review of this game should probably take a moment to review the campaign's graphics both in game and via the cut scenes. 

There has never been a better looking Gears of War game.

This is of course no surprise as it's the franchise's debut on then Xbox One and indeed Windows 10 operating system.

It's clear to this game reviewer that a lot of resource has gone into make sure that the blood and guts on offer, as with any Gears game, is as viceral as a video game can be.

Gears has never been shy about gruesome deaths during the campaign mode and GOW4's graphics simply make you feel like you really did draw the blood of that Locust freak.

Verdict: A MUST have for any seasoned Gears fan, and those new to the entry will get a kick out of it and be back for more.
