Our take on Gears of War: Reloaded
Rather than limiting its shooter structure to competitive matches, the game places a story campaign and cooperative play beside Versus modes. Its remaster also preserves classic controls as an option while adding a modern layout, making control style part of the release's structure.
What is Gears of War: Reloaded?
Gears of War: Reloaded remasters the original third-person cover shooter.
Its campaign follows Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago and Delta squad as they fight the Locust threat across a ruined planet, either solo or in online co-op. Versus multiplayer adds several player-against-player modes. The release includes the original game's post-launch content, including an extra campaign act, multiplayer maps, characters and cosmetics. PC features include ultrawide display support, benchmark mode, mouse and keyboard input, controller remapping, variable refresh rate, FSR3. 1 and DLSS3. 5 Super Resolution support. Cross-play connects players across platforms, while cross-progression carries campaign saves and multiplayer progress between platforms through a Microsoft Account.
