The Metacritic aggregator revealed the exact time for the end of the embargo on Gears 5 reviews from journalists - the first reviews of the action movie will appear on September 4 at 4:00 PM.
This is more than 24 hours before the start of early access for buyers of the ultimate edition and subscribers of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which will begin on September 5 at 9:00 PM, as well as about six days before the official release on September 9 at 9:00 PM.
Judging by the first impressions of critics after five hours of the storyline campaign,
The Coalition took great risks with the fifth part, deciding not just to "draw according to the template", as it was in Gears of War 4, but to make large-scale changes and innovations.
For example, in Gears 5, there will appear elements of an open world similar to those in Metro: Exodus - sometimes players will be given the opportunity to explore a large location where they can carry out auxiliary tasks, look for collectible items like relic weapons and simply explore the world.
Journalists note that this is still the familiar Gears of War, but it has finally begun evolution, and in the right direction, so for now, all the innovations look organic and appropriate.
