Since I've never had an Xbox, it wasn't until very recently I could play the series. A friend of mine accepted my invite for a coop playthrough, and we had a lot of fun.

It definitely feels like a relic of its time, what with the cover shooting, the hilarious edgy, dudebro tone (I do think it adds to the enjoyment). But it's just fun hockey action.

We're actually installing Gears 4 right now (130+ GB WHYYYY)

The PC port is poorly optimized though. It's a 2015-16 Xbox One game, bringing my 2019 CPU to its knees, the hell is that.
