Game Series I’ve Beaten: A Deep Dive – Gears of War

Gears of War is one of those franchises that just feels right. The weight of the movement, the crunch of the gunplay, the brutal executions—it all comes together in a way that makes the combat some of the most satisfying in any shooter. The cover-based mechanics changed the game when Gears first dropped, and even now, it still holds up as one of the best third-person shooters out there.

But Gears isn’t just about the action—it’s also got one of the best stories in a shooter series. Marcus Fenix, Dom, Cole, Baird—these characters aren’t just badass soldiers; they’re real. The emotional weight of the series, especially moments like Dom’s arc in Gears 2 and 3, hit hard. The Locust War, the desperation of humanity trying to survive—it’s all done so well.

Here’s the list of Gears games I’ve beaten:

  • Gears of War
  • Gears of War 2
  • Gears of War 3
  • Gears of War: Judgment
  • Gears of War 4
  • Gears 5

I’ve finished all of them, and I still go back to the earlier ones from time to time. Gears 3 is probably my favorite—it had the best mix of story and gameplay, and the ending still sticks with me. Gears 5 was solid too, but I’m curious to see where they take the story next. I know there’s another Gears game coming, and I just hope they keep that classic Gears feel while evolving the series in a meaningful way.

I like that it feels more like a down and dirty shooter. It’s not as… “Simple” or… “Friendly” as most shooters. But it’s grimey. Dark. Twisted. I love every second of the entire series.
