I can't believe the whole game of Gears was a joke

Is this a joke?
     
by Luke Laurence · September 8, 2022

I bought this back in 2011, it’s criminal that now I have to pay a $15 subscription to play it

Thank you for fixing it
     
by Mssand3 · November 9, 2019

I’ve loved Gears ever since I got it back in 2012. However, not too long after I first beat it way back when, an update made a whole bunch of levels broken and unbeatable or even playable. I can’t thank you all enough for actually fixing this classic gem and restoring a part of my early tweens.

fun but a rip off
     
by critiballargacha · December 25, 2021

this game is very fun but you must pay to go on and in the old tome you didint had to so i think they should take it off that but i still think is fun i have been playing this with my cousin since i was small and you dint had to pay so they should take the payment out and let be free so its more fun and better but i think that this agme is still fun

Ever so often I remember this game
     
by MuckieDee · July 22, 2021

It's not bad. But the subscription pretty much made this game worse instantly.

Wow

Nice game, a combination of my favorites: puzzler and arcade.

Fix me!

DONT BUY UNTIL THEY FIX THE LAVA LEVEL 9. This game is awesome. I've played it from start to finish multiple times. The lava level 9 now glitches... Please fix it. Such a fun game.

Amazing game

This was a great game many years ago. Now they've updated it for the latest devices and the graphics look sharper than ever. Great tilt-based gameplay. Like labyrinth but much more epic graphics! I hope they give people an option to buy this game for a larger than subscription one-time fee because it seems weird for people to only be able to own it while subscribed.
