Gears of War: E-Day review: a beautifully brutal Unreal Engine 5 showcase

Creative Bloq reviewed Gears of War: E-Day on Xbox Series X, Series S and PC. The reviewer praises the new movement system, Unreal Engine 5 destruction and mini-sandbox levels, but criticizes the bloated campaign and sponge-like enemies.

• New movement: sprint, slide, jump and climb without snapping to cover
• Unreal Engine 5 destruction reshapes levels mid-fight
• Downsides: bloated campaign and enemies that soak up damage
