It does not bring much evolution in terms of gameplay compared to the previous title, but it still exceeds expectations. In terms of innovation for the franchise, Gears of War 4 brings some interesting combat mechanics. New weapons appear in this direction, such as Buzzkill and Dropshot. The first launches saw blades at enemies, while the second drops explosives into the environment. It is now also possible to use a knife for hand-to-hand combat. Pushes can be given to enemies, displacing them from their defensive positions. They can do the same for you, so it requires attention on the battlefield, as they can execute you quickly.

Likewise, aiming with your weapons in a windstorm or storm may not be an easy task. The Gears of War 4 narrative puts the player on the planet Sera, about 25 years after what happened in the last Gears .
