Not as bad as everyone says it is but definitely not great. The story isn't as interesting and changing the controls is just a baffling decision.

This was not really Gears. You know why? Because they changed the weapon mechanic. Now it's like Halo where you press Y to quickly swap weapons instead of choosing from the D-pad. Fuck that. I guess this campaign was decent? I remember very little of it. I found random strangers from Trueachievements to beat it on the hardest difficulties. That's about all I remember. Baird was a good call for a spin-off, but otherwise this felt like a holdover for Gears 4. And boy was that not worth the wait!

I like the little path things and yep it's gears
