Editorial Reviews

an interesting story that manages to both entertain and pique one’s interest in the next campaign”. 8/10 - XBox Addict

“if you are a Gears fan, there is no question of whether or not you should read Gears of War: Ascendance. The answer is yes, and you should do it before playing Gears 5 if you want the full experience...not only does this novel bridge the time between the fourth and the fifth game, it’s also a hell of a fun read” 4* - The BiblioSanctum 

“Filling the gap between Gears 4 and 5 with heart and soul... and a lot of action!” 5* - Impulse Gamer
