Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel to one of Xbox's most influential franchises, has launched to notice for its confidence in sticking to a clear creative vision, according to a review from The Verge.
The review describes E-Day as a 'brutal, tense, and self-aware action game' that benefits from not deviating from the core premise that defined the original Gears of War series when it debuted twenty years ago.
As a prequel, E-Day aims to expand the franchise's established world and story while maintaining the combat style and tone longtime fans associate with the series.
