Gears of war 4 is created mainly keeping co-op in mind. This game has a total of 5 acts & in single player mode the first 3 acts are honestly boring. You go from point a to b kill waves of enemies & proceed. Rinse & repeat. It might be fun in 4 player co-op. The fun starts in the last two acts & they are better than the other acts & you will enjoy them in single player mode.
I also faced a problem with this game, during the cutscenes the screen will freeze for few seconds & this is for all the cutscenes.
Apart from these the game is a good port & the gameplay is smooth most of the time. Visually this game is a hit & miss some details are remarkable like you can see the raindrops sliding down from the characters suit , few maps are beautiful.
Since this is a port thats why I wont complain much about the visuals but many times they do look a bit washed out. Some low resolution textures you can easily make out in the environment where also rain has no effect. But these can be easily ignored too. I have completed the game on maxed 1440p (downscaled to 1080p).
For the story well its not bad & is presented well. The voice acting is good & music matches the gameplay. The boss fights are good & satisfying too.
As for the controls honestly I would recommend a K/B & mouse. The movement is easy with a controller (xbox 360) but aiming is really frustrating & boring during battles.I have played with both.
Multiplayer seemed interesting but I was not much interested in its multiplayer however I did played a match & there was not much of a problem in finding it. It also has a competitive mode too if you are interested. Anyways If you want to co-op then you may think of buying it (though I think its overpriced now). If you are planning to play the single player then you may skip this or try to get it at a cheaper rate.
Single player score : 6.5/10
Overall: 8.1/10
