Description and timestamps below:

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition re-introduces Xbox fans to the gruesome franchise that first debuted in 2006.

And it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call the original Gears of War one of the most influential games of the last couple of decades. Because of Gears of War, the floodgates were opened for a gaming wave of third person shooters, based on the cover system that Gears of War implemented.

A lot has changed in 16 years and in that time, people had started to question whether the franchise was really that deserving of praise. After playing it again on Xbox One, it still holds up very strong. Epic Games is no longer working on the series it created. The responsibility now falls on The Coalition, a studio created by Microsoft to specifically work on Gears of War. Ultimate Edition, while not an original title, is the studio’s first effort. And overall, it is a successful one.

I have a lot of great memories playing co-op with friends in the original game's campaign, but nostalgia aside, the gameplay still plays extremely well up to this day. Shooting and sawing your way through hordes of meaty Locust is better in Ultimate Edition than it ever has been. The improved physics and omnidirectional movement, especially for those extra juicy blood splatters, make for a much more gruesome affair.

Shout out to Ricky R33 GTR as my wingman for this co-op campaign that we completed in two engrossing, incredibly fun sittings!
