To preface this review, I did not complete the game, but I did sink in about 8 hours. The combat is awesome as well as the presentation, but it never "hooked" me. The side quests were very repetitive and marred the open world aspect of the game. It's not a game for everyone, but I do hope longtime fans of the series enjoy it.

Gears of War 4 was a blast to play through. The formula overall is familiar, but the developers added some nice tweaks to it making it feel fresh throughout the campaign. It's fun, gorgeous and the ability to play split screen is terrific. It's definitely one of the better games of 2016.

The opening hours of the game are brilliant! Sadly, once the main gameplay hook sets in, so does the overwhelmingly repetitive design. This one is a heart breaker, because the writing, set pieces and story are some of the best in gaming. It could of been the game of the year, but it is held back by some very poor design choices.

ACIV is hands down the best game in the Assassin's Creed franchise. Some may argue it's more of a Pirate simulator, but that's exactly what makes it so good. The gameplay is great, and it never takes itself too seriously throughout the duration of the campaign. Even if you don't like the series, this is one to check out!
