Fourth one is the biggest offender to me personally. I'm not gonna play one random game out of a series of like 10 games if I can't play the others.
It's the same reason gears of war 5 did poorly on PC, the game looks cool but I have no idea what is going on.
Honestly, I found Gears 5 worse than 4. Less tight, more bloat and filler, and a totally unnecessary and slow "Open World" section where you slowly sail around a big winter map looking for collectibles and places to go. Killed the flow for me, and I couldn't finish it, even though I was playing it on Game Pass for a fraction of the box price.
The storyline was totally ridiculous as well, total shit. And yes, that's even considering that this is a Gears of War game.
Edit: If you want to know what's going on in Gears of War by the way, the first game (which is remastered I think) is a good place to start for the original trilogy, and the 4th game is the start of the "New" trilogy, which is not yet completed. I'm sure Gears 6 will be out eventually, but for now it's not out yet. If I had to choose between Gears 4 and Gears 1, I would say 1 is the better game.
Rift Apart is a very good game that is enjoyable without playing the rest of the series. The story is pretty self contained, even though it's referential.
I've owned every Playstation. I think Rift Apart was the only Ratchet & Clank I actually properly played all the way through and completed.
