Marcus is accompanied with his best friend, Dominic Santiago, and eventually meets up with two other comrades: Augustus Cole and Damon Baird. All you know is that Emergence Day sparked a massive war with the humans of Sera, and the world has been torn apart for over a decade.

The story revolves around this invading army called the Locust that have come from underground with unknown violent intentions. Players will once again take control of Marcus Fenix, a former soldier who was sentenced to forty years in prison for abandoning his post – a bit of a harsh punishment, especially during such an ongoing conflict. While there are certain expectations when bringing a game to PC, somehow they don’t seem to have been addressed here. With Microsoft’s recent dedication to the PC market, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is the first of many ports from the American giant, hopefully bringing a far more graphically intense releases to the market. Regardless, The Coalition did a phenomenal job in redoing the visuals, recreating an experience that had fans reminiscing over the good years. It brought back everything we loved from the original release, despite feeling a little old in the process. Last year’s remaster of Gears of War was a long time coming.
