OK, I tried to play Gears of War 1, twice and hated it. At the time I was into Halo and I hated the forced encounters in Gears. Yes, Halo had some forced encounters, but the world was pretty open outside of a few of those.
I got Gamepass Ultimate and played the first chapter of Gears 5. That was enough for me to think I better play Gears of War 4. Even though I watched the "previously on Gears" scene. I got a lot out of playing Gears 4. It really got me invested in the characters, and helped me understand the conflict up to this point.
Jumping from Gears 4 to Gears 5 is pretty big graphically, and I'm finding the combat to be more refined. I can't wait to finish it.
