    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fanboyism aside go and look on STEAM to see what people that actually own the game think. Spoiler alert, its not good. Makes me also really wonder why the critics gave it such high scores...Something fishy is going on.

    My review: Its better than Gears 4 and the graphics is really top notch. However, the characters are extremely shallow and sometimes it feels like I am watching a bunch of teenagers stuck in big adult bodies.

    The story is immature when it needs to be mature. Sometimes a little maturity comes through, but as you enjoy the fresh air, it gets poisoned by some idiotic line or action a few seconds later. Its a lot of up and down weirdness that just makes you go. "Really?". Example: One scene Dave the robot receives love and care from a fellow team mate and then the next scene he is replaced by another robot and then suddenly nobody gives a **** about Dave. Sometimes it tried too hard to be deep, but instead, came off as pretentious.

    Levels look great, but its basically just that. Invisible walls, doors that can only be opened by a robot, and then suddenly the same door, just around the corner can be opened by the player makes you just go, "wtf?". It seemed they tried to combine some action types of sequences like we have seen with other major titles like Uncharted and God of War for example, but it feels half baked.

    I enjoyed the cutscenes, the explosions and all that. But boy, I hated the characters, the story in general and the annoying little things in the level design as mentioned above. One would think with all the money that goes into making the game look beautiful, at least some decent amount would be put aside for a proper writer...but that is clearly not the case.

    It has made some improvements and I think the idea was right. However, the execution is poor and I do not recommend paying full retail price. Get it on game pass or with a 50%+ discount.    … Expand

    The Game is awesome, runs smooth, but has GPU crashes, error GW502 all the time, the new NVIDIA driver made it worse, for me now its not playable...what a waste.
    While you were reading this review, the GPU crashed again...
    What a waste, the game is awesome, but its broken right now on PC.

    Gears 5 is nice to look at and features the same tried and true cover shooting mechanics as its predecessors.

    Unfortunately a host of technical issues, gameplay bugs and poor design choices hold it back from being a great game. The PC version suffers exceptionally with instability, lackluster HDR implementation and broken vibration when playing split screen to name just a few issues.

    Unfortunately a host of technical issues, gameplay bugs and poor design choices hold it back from being a great game. The PC version suffers exceptionally with instability, lackluster HDR implementation and broken vibration when playing split screen to name just a few issues. PC players are also treated as second class citizens yet again with no ability to play Horde, Escape or Versus modes in split-screen. These features are available on Xbox and it's unacceptable that the PC versions has such limited replay value by comparison (especially when the price is identical).

    As a game, Gears 5 tries to do a couple new things with limited success. Jack's abilities are a welcome addition, however the UI makes them a nightmare to use in the heat of combat. Long, boring vehicle sections ruin the flow of the game and become frustrating after a few hours. Instead of sticking to what it does well (3rd person shooting) the game tries to do too many things that just don't end up adding to the experience (open world).

    Play this game with a cheap subscription to Xbox game pass on PC, it's not worth your 60-80 dollars.    … Expand

    Gears 5
    I don’t see the hype.
    I’ve been a playstation guy my whole life, Ive never owned an xbox, but thanks to Microsofts decision to make their exclusives available on pc, im able to experience this side of the tracks, and I was so excited to do so, I never played a Gears of War Game, so I sat down on youtube, got a story recap and hopped in… This is a 3rd person shooter that takes    Gears 5
    I don’t see the hype.
    I’ve been a playstation guy my whole life, Ive never owned an xbox, but thanks to Microsofts decision to make their exclusives available on pc, im able to experience this side of the tracks, and I was so excited to do so, I never played a Gears of War Game, so I sat down on youtube, got a story recap and hopped in…
    This is a 3rd person shooter that takes places after the events of gears of war 3 and 4.. you get part of the story at the beginning of this game…
    I wasn’t too attached or interested after the intial run down, but still hyped for the gameplay, the tutroal starts, the game is having me look up to determine my input preferences, that alone had me excited for how neat this game was going to be…
    But I just never was blown away…
    The story telling and level design is just so bland.. nothing took my breath away or made me feel like wow, this is what ive been missing all of these years… I do love the weapon variety.. but when it comes down to combat, controls here are so unintuitive that it just constantly pulls you out of the game…
    its okay to have the same control scheme as call of duty… they have it down… I don’t want to hold a buttown down to run, let me just click my stick… the fast reload mechanic makes you take your eye off of the action.. all of the mechanic decisions just makes me feel like Im juggling as Im shooting.
    Throughout this 12 hour campaign yo udo have a little squad with you that changes as the story progresses.. and these members can be controlled by real people locally and online…which is what I highly advise…
    As the ai here is completely useless…
    Dels the type of guy to yell “nows our chance shoot his back!” And not do ****
    Amking these drawnout unfun boss battles even more unfun and frustrating at times as you die over and over…
    Does the boss know where I am Del?
    That’s probably because im the only one of use shooting any bullets.
    Who isn’t useless though is your robot companion jack…
    He sticks with you through the end as youre searching the world to upgrade his abilities that are unlocked as the story progresses…
    back to the mechanics issues though.. shuffling through jacks abilities mid combat or even post or pre combat is unintuitive and feels like a jumbled jumbled mess
    but jack is easily my favorite part of this game…
    Its just a shame that jack is the only incentive to explore though…
    The world and level design here in Gears 5 again is just so bland, so uninteresting and boring…
    there are a couple open world sections of the game where you can go explore a little if youd like.. but again.. nothing about this world made me care to do so…
    another giant issue I had with this games campaign is its awful progression indicators in story…
    don’t dare pause the game and com back to it later, because youl lhave no idea what youre supposed to be doing… Gears 5 does put little markers on the map for you to go to… but I would much prefer they put them on items im supposed to be interacting with instead of running around in circles looking for a switch or door with a footprint or hand print on it… it breaks the flow, takes me out of the world.. its just bad game design…
    And when it comes to performance, Gears 5 is awful on PC..
    I ran into constant crashes and Act 2 made the game completely unplayable.. literally… after searching the internet, ive discovered that this is not an uncommon issue.. updating all of my drivers did fix the crashing issue for me, but the game still stutters when too much is going on on screen.. I missed half of the final cutscene because it was stuck… I had to go to youtube to rewatch the ending.. and wouldn’t you know their cutscene video was lagging too.
    Online here is pretty typical fun third person shooter competitive stuff…
    Entertaining, nothing really wrong with it but nothing here to keep me hooked.. I felt no urge to play after playing for review purposes.. again like the campaign really bland.
    Gears 5 is a good game… But as a flagship exclusive from microsoft… I feel that xbox loyalists deserve better
    Theres nothing here to incentivize a purchase other than the continuation of a beloved franchise…
    And If you are buying to continue the story, I would recommend the xbox version over the pc so you can actually see it all.

    It was Characters and story were really lacking. I didn't care about the characters and the story was disappointing with poor writing.

    Your allies AI was really frustrating at times - I failed missions due to the AI running into enemies and such. I had the objective get stuck a couple of times so I couldn't proceed and had to start back at checkpoint.

    Esse jogo deveria ter uma nota 9, se não fosse pela desatenção dos desenvolvedores. Primeiro temos os bugs graficos. Personagens mudando de cor, cenario DERRETENDO, caindo no limbo do mapa e por ai vai. Depois temos a IA do jogo, que é estupida. Gears 5 da a impressão que os inimigos são inteligentes, quando na realidade, tudo é simplesmente escripitado. Joguei a maior parte do jogo na dificuldade "experiente", e após morrer, percebia que os inimigos faziam sempre os mesmos movimentos, sempre as mesma granadas. A IA verdadeira, que é a da sua equipe, prova sua inutilidade. São mortos e capturados facilmente, e detalhe: quando isso acontece, perdemos o jogo. SIM, agora temos de ser baba de outros gears. Fora bugs onde não conseguimos prosseguir de uma etapa pra outra pq o jogo não percebeu que eu tinha matado todos os inimigos, ou aliados travados em partes do mapa.

    Enfim, assim fica dificil. Jogar numa dificldade elevada é frustrante pelo fato de que seus aliados são inuteis e os inimigos possuem muitas armas hitkill e 129081 de HP, se tornando muito entediante visto que você não tem o sentimento de que melhorou para passar de tal parte, só teve mais sorte. E a jogabilidade padrão gears - jogador pesado, armas que atiram nerf, tiros na cabeça ineficientes e mobilidade desengonçada - se mostra defasada cada vez mais, evitando a modernização como o proprio HALO 5 fez, tendo a melhor gameplay da franquia. Qual é, galera. Mesmo botão ser responsavel por rolar, correr e pegar cover é, no minimo, deprimente.

    Os graficos são bonitos, mas nada que realmente impressione - joguei no ultra, numa resolução acima de 2.5k -, a falta de detalhes num jogo deste orçamento incomoda. Jogos como Gears 2 eram mais destrutivos e mais intensos.

    A historia é bacana. Não há plots ou demais aprofundamento nos personagens, e desanima um pouco pro final, prolongando muito os atos, mas ainda sim prende um pouquinho.

    O jogo tentou ser mais dinamico, mas falha. O robo é legal e ajuda mais que seus aliados. Ademais, os combates ainda são repetitivos, onde ordas e ordas vem te atacar.    … Expand

    Easily the worst game in the franchise. The open wolrd elements just drag out what's already a pretty dull and uninspired effort that more than outstays it's welcome. New mechanics don't really add much to the game and most boss fights are more tedious than ever.

    I remember in the xbox/ps2 era, i always wanted to play gears of war. i loved my ps2 and i wouldnt trade it for anything, but there always were some games from other consoles i'd like to play, right?
    well, like 15 years(?) have passed and i finally played a GoWar game.
    unfortunately i started with the worst one, according to reviews everywhere.
    still i can only imagine what the first one may have been, if it was anything like this one, i can totally understand the hype (then), and i can also understand the hate (now).
    just an okay game, for me. nothing memorable (except maybe the cruelty they throw at the player, making us choose, literally, who of our friends would die. thats a bold move.

The first issue I have is that Microsoft seems to have been part of a scammy deal for this game where they push Xbox Gold players onto their Ultimate Game Pass for $2. While it sounds like a great deal, let's think about this for your gamers who have a large library of games already.. So you were paying about $5 a month ($60 a year) for free games with gold. Now, if you switch and after the $1 for 2 months, after that, you are bumped up to $14.99 a month. Yes, MS has tripled your monthly fee and it says in fine print you cannot reverse this deal. Boo, Microsoft. Sorry if you fell for this scam as there were many fake people on forums praising this deal. Seems shady to me.

    Secondly, the scrap system that unlocks certain things in the game is also pushing players to pay money by being very convoluted. You can play for two and a half hours in multiplayer and you might get 5 scrap. The cheapest unlocks are about 40 scrap. And the good basic unlocks are about 100. Also, fairly shady, Microsoft!

    Thirdly, long time Gears players could find themselves annoyed by the number of minor changes and subtle differences in gameplay in this installment until they become used to them.

    Now...for the not-so-great.
    While the mechanics run well there's no depth to them. When you die it doesn't feel like you have to rethink the situation. You don't need to flank or switch guns or use any sort of 'better' strategy. You just need to get more headshots. The gun variations don't seem to play a particularly useful role. Basically, defeating enemies is rather boring and when/if you die it's probably because you've just been lulled into complacency by the lack of challenge.

    Compare this to the combat/gameplay of Mass Effect 3 / Androm you have to wonder if the Gears devs just kind of gave up.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First, beware: SPOILERS AHEAD!
    Second: I'm not reviewing the multiplayer. It's a crapload full of microtransactions. And I hate multiplayer games.
    I'm actually at the beginning of Chapter 3 of the game, third playthrough of the campaign (obviously), and I want to say right now I don't really like Kait as character and as a main protagonist of the game. I'm not a misoginist or a maschilist, in fact I've enjoyed a lot the tomb Raider reboot, with a fantastically renewed Lara Croft as main character. I just prefer the old guard, with Marcus, Baird, Cole. I find JD Fenix and Del just fine and charismatic, but not as much as the first trilogy chars. Kait is too masculine for my tastes, even if the story told in this game is fairly interesting. I don't really understand, anyway why Americans are so passionate of family struggles, in fact so many times as plots develop the heroes discover to be linked to the main villains, with strong bonds such as father-son or mother-daughter. But I'm really digressing now, I beg your pardon! As I was saying, the story is interesting enough to raise some curiosity to it, Even if there are hardly surprising moments. The gameplay is still very similar to the older games, but extremely more fluid, dynamic, with the possibility to use environment features to kill the swarm enemies. The game has wonderful graphics and really good animations, and Gears 5 has in particular a less linear development, in fact in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 it is possible to do side missions scattered through fairly vast areas explorable via a strange skiff able to slide on Ice and Sand. The problem is that said side missions are extremely short, and very often they happen in very small "arenas", in which at the end of the fight it is possible to find some useful weapons or object to enhance Jack's (the robot) abilities; this companion is extremely useful to solve some little "problems" during exploration or to fight the enemies. Another big problem is that the big areas of Chapter 2 and 3 are quite empty, void of enemies or other encounters, and serve just as places to pass to go from point "A" to point "B". You can certainly get off the skiff and explore the environment by foot in a limited area around the skiff itself, but I can assure you it's extremely hard to find something interesting around! Chapter 1 and 4 are my favourites, in fact they are more linear and the story unfolds in a better way, without the blank moments in which there is nothing more than skiff riding and some lines of speech in between the characters. Another thing I disliked is the fact that in Chapter 2 and 3 Marcus and JD are nowhere to be seen, it is for 98% of the time just Kait and Del; the use of only 2 characters during the gameplay deletes the fun comments and discussions that were present in previous games, so that the experience is a little bit more boring. Yes, the overall experience for me has been a little underwhelming, But I really cannot say Gears 5 is a bad game! It is a solid game, with just a few bugs here and there, but nothing very annoying.
    -------------------
    §§§BIG SPOILER: a fact that ruined the final stages of the game is that at one point you have to choose who to save between Del and JD. The other one will die! I really wonder how those morons of The coalition are going to deal with this fact in Gears 6! Who is the one which will be alive in the next gear chapter?    … Expand

I also enjoy the ingenuity of the different types of guns, even though I usually just stuck with my trusty lancer and gnasher. Where it fell flat was that the game just got a bit.. boring - no massive 'omg' moments in it - it felt like it was still all the same enemies im mowing down from 2007.

    In fact when the game really started ramping up with actual stakes and a step up in gameplay along with a fun boss battle - the game came to surprising conclusion. Just as it was getting different and really good, it ended. A shame, but its still worth playing.    … Expand

    Primero que nada, el juego en su modo historia es buenísimo.

    En cuanto a optimización está bastante bien. Tengo un i5-3570, 8GB de ram y una GTX 1050ti y me corre con casi todo en alto con las texturas HD instaladas a 60 fps muy estables (salvo en algunos momentos y en las cinemáticas). Tiene una buena historia, me dejó enganchado con ella y tiene un multijugador decente pero    Primero que nada, el juego en su modo historia es buenísimo.

    Tiene una buena historia, me dejó enganchado con ella y tiene un multijugador decente pero mejorable, pero hay una cosa que no tolero y es que el juego no me quiere entrar al menú principal si no tengo un Internet decente o si no tengo conexión ya que requiere autentificar e iniciar cesión en los servidores de Xbox.

    Solo quiero jugar el modo historia pero si mi conexión no es buena simplemente no me abre el pin**e menú o tarda una eternidad.
    Eso y que cuando se nos va el Internet y después regresa el juego ya no quiere conectar de nuevo y hay que reiniciarlo.

    Me gustaría que se pudiera desactivar el antialiasing, ya que eso consume recursos y en pc's de gama baja como la mía nos iría bien.

    En la jugabilidad.
    Sigo prefiriendo la del primer Gears, ahí no me fallaba y extraño poder pulsar 2 veces "W" para poder correr agazapado de inmediato después de dar una voltereta (igual el primer juego de la saga era muchísimo mas difícil que el resto, digo, ahí se acompleta el augurio y estas muerto).

    También tengo algunas quejas cuando se trate de las oberturas, me a pasado demasiadas veces que solo quiero dar una voltereta y lo que ocurre es que el personaje se ponga a cubierto cuando la cobertura esta algo lejos, pero cuando quiero que se cubra en una cobertura que está mas cerca no lo hace y da una voltereta.
    Tampoco me gusta mucho que se ponga a cubierto automáticamente cuándo estoy corriendo agazapado, ya que apenas toco una pared y se pone a cubierto.

    Algo negativo a medias son los subtítulos. Solo hay la opción de activarlos y desactivarlos, pero no nos deja escoger como los queremos, ya que solo hay subtítulos que también incluyen subtítulos gráficos y es un poco molesto para la mayoría que tenemos buena audición, ya que es molesto leer cosas como "la música se intensifica", "gemidos de esfuerzo" o "temblor". Se que para las personas con problemas de audición podría servirles de algo, pero es molesto para todos los demás, por que siempre hay un momento en el que a veces hablan pero por algún problema por la mezcla de sonido no podemos escuchar lo que dicen y activamos los subtitulos para no perdernos esa frase que están diciendo.

    ===Multijugador===

    Hay cosas que quisiera que regresaran.

    - Que regrese el "modo bestia" donde se puedan escoger uno de los enemigos grandes y peligrosos del modo historia, como por ejemplo la "Berserker", un "Carguero" o un "Alcaide" utilizando puntos ganados por bajas como creo que funciona en Gears 3 ya que no lo he jugado por la exclusividad y odio el joistick (o como se escriba eso) para los shooter's ya que se siente incomodo.

    - El emparejamiento es malísimo, me han tocado ocasiones en los que todo el equipo contrario son personas y en mi equipo solo somos como 2 personas y el resto son bots y eso lo hace casi imposible.

    Tambien ya no hay mucha gente, antes habian como 10,000 personas conectadas, ahora solo hay 400 por día.

    ===En cuanto a la versión "Ultimate edition"==

    Personalmente lo considero un robo, ya que solo incluye dos personajes y treinta días de impulso... todo por unos económicos 400 pesos mexicanos mas (como 21 dolares).
    Si tuviera algún tipo de pase de temporada podría valer la pena, pero prefiero pagar esos 1,400 pesos de salida que 1,800 por algo que no lo vale. Y personalmente recomiendo no comprar esa versión e irse por la versión normal.

    También que quiten las macr0transacciones, pagamos como 1,400 a 1,900 pesos mexicanos no mam3n.

    Todavía quieren que paguemos otros 100 pesos por una bandera o un personaje. Si lanzaron el juego en el game pass de lanzamiento ya es sus culpa (o que nos regalen monedas a los que si lo compramos o sea, a todos los de Steam).

    _______

    En conclusión, el juego lo recomendaría por sus virtudes, pero esos problemas de incomodidad de que el juego quiere abrirte en menú cuando se le da la gana me hace no querer recomendarlo.
    Si a eso le sumamos las macr0transacciones (por que de micro no tienen nada) a pesar de lo caro que es el juego, de momento no lo recomiendo hasta que arreglen eso este problema en cuanto a abrir el juego y que cargue el menú de inmediato ya que es una m*3rda que "Microsoft" solo piense que todos tenemos un internet como en la ciudad en la que se encuentra sus cede.

Le fait d'être une cible perpétuelle + le god shoot de l'IA qui te mettra régulièrement des balles (même de loin) qui font beaucoup trop mal (beaucoup plus mal que les tiennes) créé un sentiment de frustration qui te fais dire "purée, mais n'importe quel bot/IA aurait été meilleur que moi dans les missions, pourquoi vous m'envoyez, alors que je suis une victime ?"

    Zero innovation. Boring story, pjs and and always the same repetitive mechanics of the previous titles. Just a game with beautiful graphics and no soul.

Conflicting characters have very weak, unsatisfying resolutions, which is a shame since their setup is quite fantastic. The middle chapters are frankly just a little bit dull, especially since the story is pretty much a direct rehash of the original. Quality peaks once again at the end but it feels very much like wasted potential after what the game offers you in the opening hours. On PC it was very well optimised and ran great for me on an old GTX970. Multiplayer was rather dull but wasn't something that I tried more than once.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I admit that I made the mistake of starting the franchise with Gears 5, I should have at least started with 4, but then again, due to the introduction of Gears 5, I didn't think the story of 4 was a big deal. As for the original trilogy, I can't say anything about it.

    The story has a good pace and follows unexpected paths. The characters' relationships are very important in the story and the interactions between them, although brief, are good. And the characters themselves are nice. The choice of death between the two characters is very stupid, just to screw it up and we don't have a canonical history until the sixth game comes out.    … Expand

    When I think of a forgettable game I remember gears 5. I don't know if I played 4 just before 5 made me sick of the gameplay, which is almost the same, it's a good game, it applied a little exploration and such. But it's an average forgettable game.
