Like the original game, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition features the once-revolutionary shoot-and-cover mechanic. Ultimate Edition's opening sequence nails that tone, and instantly hooked me, just as it did a decade ago. The game is filled with macho tough guys, high-octane action, and charged dialogue. What makes the Gears of War plot so engaging is that it harkens back to classic 1980s action films. From there, COG aims to deploy the Lightmass Bomb, which will destroy the heart of the Locust forces inside the Hollow.ĭelta Squad consists of playable-character Marcus Fenix, his war-hardened partner (and second player character) Dominic Santiago, and the A.I.-controlled Augustus Cole and Damon Baird. COG, the only active human military force, dispatches the Delta Squad on a last-ditch effort mission to obtain a device called the Resonator that will map The Hollow-the caverns where the Locust live. Gears of War takes place on Sera, a planet inhabited by humans and death-dealing, underground-dwelling creatures called Locust. I played the incredibly fun Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on PC (in fact, it only runs on Windows 10 ($99.99 at Amazon UK) -powered computers), but it's also available on Xbox One ($99.99 at Amazon UK). That said, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition isn't perfect it doesn't work well with AMD GPUs, bugs from the original game are still an issue, and it lacks some of the updated mechanics found in later Gears games. The third-person shooter was already a great game when it debuted a decade ago on Xbox 360, but this updated title adds 4K resolution, unlocked frame rates, and content that was once paid DLC. Gears of War: Ultimate Edition ($29.99), the first DirectX 12 PC title, almost sets the standard for what a remastered game should offer.
