Gears of War 1 is unquestionably a classic that changed the gaming landscape in a way that few other games have. Its influence on the third-person genre is staggering, and nearly 20 years later, it remains an active and beloved franchise. But does the first game actually hold up? Considering how many games have copied its cover-based combat and arguably improved on the formula, is the original still worth playing?
It received a remaster in 2015, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, which updated the visuals and controls, although the core experience remained mostly unchanged. I sat down to play it for the first time in 2025 and have mixed feelings about it. It's a fascinating game all the same, so this video will cover its history, the different versions of it and, with the rumours of a new gears of war collection floating around, help you decide if you should play it.
