Gears Of War 4 Review: 7 Ups & 7 Downs

Ups

7. It's The Best Looking Xbox One Game Yet

Gears of War 4 may feel like it's coasting gameplay-wise, but visually, it sure as hell isn't resting on its laurels, providing a substantial graphical upgrade from previous titles and truly making the most of what's under the Xbox One's hood (while if you've got a beefy enough PC, it looks even better).

Sure, there are a few low-res moments (the writing on doors looks rather muddy), and it's not quite up to the high standard of, say, Uncharted 4, but especially if you're lucky enough to own an Xbox One S and can take advantage of HDR, this is quite the eye-watering experience indeed.
