Is it still worth playing?

Twenty five years after the third game, JD Fenix, Marcus's son, crosses the Sera wilderness with Kait Diaz and Del Walker to steal a fabricator, an energy source for Kait's village. They meet the Swarm, what the Locust became, while the COG polices its walled cities with robot DeeBees. This 2016 cover shooter for Xbox One and Windows is the first Gears from the studio that took the series over. A shoulder charge knocks enemies off balance, and enemies now drag you out of cover for kills of their own. Windflares, storms that blow across a fight, change where a shot goes. The weather as a third side in every fight is still what stands out today.
