Gears of War: Ultimate Edition (Microsoft Xbox One)
Fans of the original Gears of War will enjoy visiting Sera one more time to play out humanity’s last hope against the Locust. The sound and the visuals all receive the requisite upgrades with just a bit of extra story thrown in for those who did not play the game on PC the first time around. But what will really keep you coming back for more is a robust multiplayer that takes some of the best elements of all three games and serves it up in a smooth framerate that makes it a joy to play.
Review—Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition (Xbox One)
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is every bit as refreshing, innovative, and satisfying as the original release back in 2006. If you are a fan of competitive online multiplayer games or action shooters in general then stop reading this review and try Gears of War: Ultimate Edition as it is truly a masterpiece and a near-perfect example of how to make a competent, functioning remaster.
