Pro's:
1. The gameplay is fantastic, it feels and handles like a Gears game.
2. The Campaign is great with a new and original story that compliments the original trilogy.
3. The multiplayer is as good as it's been since the original.
4. Horde works as usual with several new aspects, such as the class system and the fabricator.
Con's:
1. The microtransactions aren't handled well in my opinion (although this being addressed by The Coalition). Unlockables are stuck behind a wall in which you either pay or grind to pass. You aren't awarded online characters for levelling up or finishing the Campaign like in Gears of War 3.
Thoughts:
A great addition to the series with both my offline and online experience exceeding my expectations. The best Xbox One exclusive to date.

Gears Of War is back
By Andrew. A. on 7 August 2018
I brought the xbox one s just to play this game, as I love gears of war and I had to play gears of war 4. So having finished this game within three days on hardcore, the game does feel like gears of war 1. As you go further on the game, it does start to pick up and it does feel like gears of war 1 and 3 where the surprises that awaits for you. I dont want to say too much but keep playing and you will see our hero back in the game. I was shocked about the ending, cant wait for gears of war 5.By Andrew. A. on 7 August 2018
