The fully two-player cooperative campaign is back and more or less the same. It’s not necessarily about the story, but more about the strong gameplay elements. Of course it’s never that simple, but it’s a straightforward plot that feels relatively light on its feet. The main plot primarily revolves around the group of COG soldiers to deliver an underground scanner to a location and let the bombs loose. 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.
