Our Gears of War: Reloaded review update by IGN's Miranda Sanchez said of the PS5 version that, "The core of Reloaded is the same between all three platforms, but the DualSense adds a twist with the adaptive triggers and any comms done through radio output through the controller's speaker. It was a neat surprise having dialogue and sound effects – like hitting the perfect active reload – presented this way." If it's your first time jumping into the Gears games, you're in for a treat.
