We don't want to give away too many spoilers, but the narrative revolving around taking down main baddie Karn just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. However, the campaign in Judgment lacks the coherency of other Gears games. The return of characters such as Baird and Cole is welcome, and the new additions, ex-soldier Paduk and rookie Sofia, work out fine. Such an approach is often emulated these days, but the ability to play as different characters across the four-person squad, depending on the evidence being given, is an interesting idea. The Declassified system adds replayability, an important aspect considering that the campaign is only around six hours long, considerably shorter than previous games in the series.ĭeclassified sees the story take the format of the trial of Kilo Squad for an alleged war crime, with past events being told in flashback. Seeing COG settlements, such as the lush mansions of Halvo Bay's Seahorse Hills, in a state of unfurling apocalypse offers a new take on the familiar Gears universe. The chance to see what happened on Emergence Day, when the Locust Horde first waged war on humanity, is interesting.
The Pendulum Wars are over, and the ticker tape of the Coalition of Ordered Governments' (COG) victory over the Union of Independent Republics (UIR) has barely settled, before conflict rears its ugly head once more. Gears of War: Judgment's campaign plays out 14 years before events in the first Gears of War.
