Gears Tactics won't win any GOTY awards, but it's a damn fine game that you'll get a kick out of if you're at all interested in either XCOM, or the Gears of War franchise. I definitely recommend this.

I really feel like the customization in gears tactics was sorely needed in gears 5 to add something new to the game. I always thought it would be awesome to have your own custom Cog Gear/Locust or Swarm Drone along side regular characters. The custom weapons could have been for horde or a separate multiplayer mode.

Did you enjoy Halo Wars 2? I personally found the more condensed style of RTS gameplay to be too "childish" for my tastes, being a lifetime RTS fan, and I feel like that style of gameplay is what a Gears RTS would be relegated to. If it was on a massive scale depicting those epic battles seen in the trailers that would be pretty awesome, but that's probably a pipe dream, that kind of gameplay has become fairly niche as has the RTS genre.

@@MasterJazz09 course not. For one, I'm inclined to like tactics-based games. But also, buying a game is an investment of time and money, and reviews give insight to whether it would be worth a purchase. Thus, they make a good guide for that, but aren't the definitive reasons behind a "yes" or "no". Skill Up has also proven himself as someone that can critically look at a game's hooks, features, mechanics and flaws.

Personally, I enjoyed Xcom CS for the first faction. After that though I got annoyed at the combat spaces and lack of customization of the characters. The depth exists when it comes to who is in your Squad sure, but there is almost 0 when it comes to the characters themselves. The combat spaces are also extremely small and kind of annoying to maneuver (for my own tastes)

@Inquisitor Chomag of the Ordo Malleus by doing things like changing the camera angles, implementing a vastly different UI, add vehicles or something like that etc. Ralph said they sped things up a bit and added gore which is making it a little different by itself. I'm not saying it's bad at all, but for $60 (compared to XCOM Chimera Squad which is $10 for example), I was expecting at least some kind of base system like all the other games have

You should review snowrunner! It's absolutely fantastic.. It's basically death stranding with off road vehicles. A new genre of gameplay, pretty much the most zen game I've ever played, it makes the hours fly like nothing else.. It's almost impossible to describe what makes it good but if anyone could it's you. I'd love to know what you think..

It is great to hear other peoples opinions on the story, I for one liked it a lot more then gears 5's story. It was great to get back to the locust era and to learn more about the backstory of the locust and the hammer strikes etc. I also enjoyed the characters more then the new main characters kait, jd, and del from gears 4 and 5. I think most og fans will like this story over gears 5's story and be happy with the game.

As much as I'm looking forward to the gameplay, I'm kind of dissapointed they didn't just base the game on an unconnected squad from the greater narrative, perhaps a new platoon trying to lead groups of civilians on a "march" to Ephyra in the wake of Emergence Day, coated in all the Grit and Drama. Since they're making it kind of like X-Com, I would have also enjoyed having a Permadeath system that affected the narrative by the end of the game. Still pumped to play a new Tactical take on the gears formula.
