Plataforma: Steamdeck, iba bien, se ve genial, buenos controles

Tipo: estrategia por turno táctica, sin gestión de ningún tipo

Partidas: una media hora por fase, muy, muy, repetitivas

Lo mejor: El combate está guay, premia la agresividad, divertido, muchas clases, muchas skills chulas

Lo peor: Se repite y acaba aburriendo. Lo dejé cuando iría por el 60% …

Lo peor: Se repite y acaba aburriendo. Lo dejé cuando iría por el 60% porque apareció otro juego

Gráficos y ambiente: Bueno

Historia: Flojilla, pero no molesta

Nota: 6.5

More than just a dumbed down XCOM. My only big complaint is that the 3rd act is too easy and repetitive, as the game kind of screams at your face to abuse the mechanics and become unstoppable. OK graphics, sound and user interface. I was actually impressed with the acting too.

Recommended for your first tactical game, bonus points if you really like the franchise. Completed on PC, 21 hours.

I very much enjoy these types of games and yet I am so bad at them. Way back when I seem to recall doing well at FF Tactics. Maybe that was much simpler or maybe my strategic muscles have atrophied.

I very much enjoy these types of games and yet I am so bad at them. Way back when I seem to recall doing well at FF Tactics. Maybe that was much simpler or maybe my strategic muscles have atrophied. More than likely it is limited time for gaming that breeds impatience in just making a move, rather than detailed analysis of the situation.

Gears maps very well to turn based tactical strategy and they have done well to incorporate all the Gears of War weapons, enemies, and bloody kills into all of it.

Another "probably wouldn't have purchased this but it was free on Xbox Game Pass". I find it interesting that the cost of games seems to be moving towards download cost and time investment since there are so many ways to get access to good games.

Just played a few hours of Gears Tactics, and I was sincerely unimpressed. Maybe it's because I just came off Chimera Squad, which is so digestible with its smaller scale, but it just felt like a cluttered mess. I feel like it wasn't communicating anything clearly, which was super frustrating, especially considering how big it is. Feel like it wants …

Just played a few hours of Gears Tactics, and I was sincerely unimpressed. Maybe it's because I just came off Chimera Squad, which is so digestible with its smaller scale, but it just felt like a cluttered mess. I feel like it wasn't communicating anything clearly, which was super frustrating, especially considering how big it is. Feel like it wants to be both an action game and a strategy game, and it just wasn't working for me. I was constantly outnumbered in a way that didn't feel manageable; especially with enemies constantly trigger overwatches that activate if you even shoot at them without moving, and opportunity attacks that just shut down whatever action you're trying to do. Maybe I need to give it more distance from XCOM, which I really dug.
