Another stellar Gears game.

Enjoyed how much this one felt like a blockbuster. A lot of the story beats, especially near the end, really worked for me. Marcus is at his best here, while the rest of the cast is kind of just there. Because it's the first 4 player co-op entry, there are quite a few squadmates that feel like they don't fit in (Sam and Jayce particularly).

The gunplay is as strong as ever and shooting locusts still feels great. The only downside in this one is that the Lambent aren't the best. They're ok. But fighting locusts is just more fun.

Oh I also played a few hours of the MP and it absolutely slaps. Great stuff all around.
