We put keyboard and mouse controls to the test in some seriously windy weather.

At Gears of War 4 campaign running on a PC with a mouse and keyboard, and I'm still thinking about it. Not because I'm super impressed with how it plays—it feels and looks like Gears of War—but because of how well it ran. 

Microsoft hasn't exactly been hitting it out of the park with even a while later, so I consider my skepticism with any future UWA games fairly warranted. But it ran and looked great, and keyboard-mouse controls felt completely natural. As long as Gears wasn't developed specifically to work on that single computer, we might be in for a smooth launch for a pretty cool game.
