Poll: So, What Do You Think Of Gears Of War: E-Day?

Gears of War: E-Day has launched to strong critical acclaim following its early access period that began on October 1st, with the full release arriving on October 6th. The game has already earned a rare 10/10 score from Pure Xbox, which praised both its campaign and multiplayer offerings as “Outstanding.” The critical reception suggests the game will rank among the top titles of the year.

The title features three main modes: Campaign, Versus multiplayer, and the new Horde Siege PvE mode. Windows Central notes that early review builds had Siege mode disabled, leading to updated evaluations once the mode became available. The reviewer emphasizes that experiencing the complete multiplayer offering was essential to properly assessing the game.

E-Day carries particular significance as part of Microsoft’s renewed commitment to exclusive Xbox Series X|S titles. The game represents a flagship exclusive that will not release on PlayStation 5, marking an important moment for Xbox’s exclusive game strategy. While reviewers acknowledge the game isn’t entirely without flaw, they characterize it as providing an excellent foundation for the franchise moving forward and positioning it as a potential contender in year-end awards discussions.
