Gears is a pretty solid series.

5 was much better yea.  They still need to change it up a bit, moment to moment gameplay-wise IMO.

 

And yes, Tactics is great.  I think they executed really well with that game.  There's some issues, but there's also a great foundation to build upon.

 

Tactics' mission design leaves a lot to be desired. Theres too many filler missions with generic objectives and re-used levels in between the actual interesting story based ones. It feels like a short game that they tried to stretch out to 20-30 hours.

Yeah, the franchise can definitely use some diversified mechanics. Still fun for what it is, though.

Uncharted 4 was awful.

I still don't understand how did that snorefest get a 10.

Perception relative to everything around it. It was like the first real standout game for the PS4, so I think a lot of people went overboard with it.

Series was amazing under Epic. 

4 was horrible.

5 was 'good' at best. 

Hivebusters the best bit of content since epic left.

 

But it isn't even close to the franchise it was. It's gameplay hasn't evolved enough, the open world shift in 5 felt super half assed and made it look even more dated and the story elements are not even close to what they were. Series needs to go on a long hiatus or undergo a significant reboot or just be reserved to being an ok 3rd person shooter every few years and nothing more.
