Here’s how a blind gamer plays Gears of War Horde mode

Making games accessible to a broad range players has been a major goal for the industry over the past few years, helping players enjoy games even if they can’t hear or have a limited range of motion - just look at the Xbox Adaptive Controller launch for one example. You might think that it’s too big of a problem for someone without sight to get into videogames, but a player going by SightlessKombat is out to prove you wrong. You might recall SightlessKombat from his fighting game videos, including an impress rise up to the top Killer Instinct ranks back in 2016. These days, his YouTube channel includes a lot more shooters, and just today - as noted by ResetEra - he posted a demonstration of how to play Horde mode. As you might expect, it involves following and orienting yourself around audio cues. SightlessKombat prefers the Juvie Madness mode, which sends a whole lot of melee foes after you - that lets him make use of melee strikes and shotgun blasts to take out the swarming enemies. But he also has a surprisingly effective time dashing around gun-wielding enemies, taking them down with well-timed shotgun blasts.
