    «Gears 5» в целом ОК.

    Сюжетная кампания куда веселее и увлекательнее, чем в «Gears of War 4», которую прошел год тому назад. В целом всё куда разнообразнее в плане локаций, ситуаций и прочего. Есть пара-тройка новых механик, которые неплохо смотрятся, но реализованы довольно слабо, что стелс, что опенворлд. Остается надеяться, что условная 6-рка продвинется в этом аспекте куда дальше и    «Gears 5» в целом ОК.

Ну и да, финал типичной трилогии или чего такого оставляет смешанные впечатления от оборванного клиффхэнгера и условного “to be continued”, которое придется ждать года 3. Ну и дизайн новой трилогии всё так же не цепляет.

    Неплохо освежили мультиплеер. Никогда не любил «Horde», к нему же отправляется «Escape», вроде любопытный новый режим, но не для меня. А вот классический «Versus» за счет повышенной скорости и TTK прям заиграл новыми красками, дико протащился с этого режима, хотя раньше не особо ценил мультиплеер серии.

    Спорная техническая составляющая ПК-версии периодически портила впечатления.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is 90% campaign (on INSANE mode), and 10% multiplayer. Gears 5 is a good game.

    Easy stuff first. Soundtrack is okay. Sound design is very good (you never get tired of the meaty CRUNCH of headshot kills; guns sound good). Graphics are really really good - optimization is surprisingly good, too (ran at +80 FPS on my GTX1070 and i7-8700k). On top of graphics, world design is really really good - every place you visit is screenshot-worthy; there is so much detail to look at in the world around you. The bases, offices, and rooms you visit all look like they actually were functioning once. Gameplay is great - it never gets tiring to run, hide behind cover, and pop some monster heads. The story is...very meh. I'll talk more about the story below. All in all, this is a very fun single-player experience. The gameplay and the beautifully realized world the devs built keep you coming back for more...even if the story sucks. The multiplayer is icing on the cake, in case you want more Gears of War gaming even after you've finished the campaign.

    So the story. It's...not very good. There are many, many moments that really break your immersion. For example, why does Kait and her gang have so much freedom? They're part of a military organization! I'm not a military employee or something; but even as a civilian, I look at the things that Kait and co. are free to do and I'm like "WTF? Don't they need clearance to do that? Can't they get court-martial-ed for disobeying orders?". Additionally, the things Kait and company are doing are actually EXTREMELY important for the survival of mankind, so...where is the rest of COG? Why don't they help? Why doesn't the chain of command bother to know or even care about what's happening?
    More story issues. In chapter 2, Kait decides to go AWOL and they just...let her? Don't get me wrong, Kait clearly has telepathic links to the Swarm, so yes, THE AUDIENCE knows that she has a good reason...but in the game, she literally does NOT explain this to JD and the gang. She effectively just says "I'm going and that's THAT! Because reasons!!!" and JD kinda just goes..."But!...okay, I guess.". It's really, really, dumb writing. And then there's this weird decision to make you play chapter 1 as JD...only to shift the story to Kait at chapter 2. The narrative disconnect between chapter 1 and 2 is MASSIVE. The only meaningful thing that happened in chapter 1 is that JD took a tactical risk that got Carmine killed, which made him a stone-cold, by-the-books kind of soldier. This stuff about JD's character development sounds good, until we see him again in chapter 3 and...he's pretty much the same? Throughout chapter 2, Kait and Del are saying stuff like "man, will JD ever be the same again?...", "JD took Carmine's death really hard..."; but when you see him again he is LITERALLY the same again. He is the exact same JD from chapter 1. The only thing different about him now is his arm is burnt and he's bald, which is cool, I guess? Basically once you hit chapter 3, you realize chapter 1 was a wasted narrative.
    And then!!! You hit chapter 4. You have to make a terrible choice - save Del or JD? But...why? Literally, why??? This choice scene starts with an earthquake which robs Del, JD, and Kait of all NINE OF THEIR MAG-LOCKED WEAPONS. After all the tumbling, rolling, and falling you have done for THREE CHAPTERS, YOUR WEAPONS HAVE NEVER EVER FALLEN OFF YOUR BACK OR HIP. So now the audience is just supposed to accept that "oh no! all are magnetically-locked weapons on our armor were shaken of by an earthquake! we are weaponless now! the tension is SO HIGH!"...stupid stupid writing. So yeah, defenseless, the Swarm Queen (using Kait's mom's body) or something approaches Kait. Swarm Queen attacks Del, JD, and Kait. She has her deadly tentacles around their necks, and she has them cornered. She can kill them now, easily, if she wanted. But for some reason, when she sees you have a knife, she gives you a choice? Save JD or Del? And then after you make your choice, she says "you made your choice! NOW DIE WITH IT!". Huh??? She made you choose who to save, then will kill you BOTH anyway? So many questions! Why did she give us a choice in the first place, only to leave us to die anyway? Why approach Kait without making her intentions clear? What was the point of all of this? This whole scene was so abruptly stupid that I scoffed when I watched it happen. It almost feels like some executive sat-in one day and had "this really cool idea for the story" and the devs were forced to implement it last-minute. It's so freaking dumb. To add insult to narrative injury, once you are buried by the earthquake, YOU AND JD/DEL HAVE PISTOLS AGAIN. My goodness!

    Anyway, yeah. The gameplay is SO GOOD that the game gets a hard pass for it's atrociously bad story. Play it. Turn off your brain, alt-tab when there are cutscenes, and just enjoy the gameplay.    … Expand

    Stále ta stejná drsná rubačka jako dříve a konečně na Steamu. Gears 5 je opět jedna z nejlepších akčních her z pohledu třetí osoby a jedna z nejlepších tower defence akcí na trhu. Multiplayer skvělí, kampaň na insane obtížnost skoro nehratelná. Vskutku skvělá akční hra s výbornou grafikou i když má pár bolístek, na které rád upozorním.

    But a game without flaws is not a game. Minor flaws that affected the game:
    •cosmetics opened for donation (now this is not very revealed, but with the addition of new elements it will annoy a little)
    •Bugs, poorly functioning servers and errors due to which some players cannot play the game (although these problems are solved by a couple of patches after the release, but you can’t talk about them)
    The result was a worthy continuation of the legendary series not inferior in scale to previous parts

    Cons:
    -I wish they had PC splitscreen on the multiplayer but I get it. PC games aren't the playground for that.
    -Buggy launch (that ive noticed has been quickly fixed for me)
    -Wish it was 4 player co-op but the reason its 3 is chill.

    The PC game only adds to what would be one of 2019's best games. This game looked amazing on the base XB1 and the PC version takes this game and runs 1000miles forward with it. Great game, The campaign is a masterpiece and is up there with the very best. Must play for Gears fans and a great entry to new Gears fans. Looking forward to Gears 6.

    Gears 5 sports an interesting and engaging campaign with acting and cinematography worthy of its triple-A title. It is also made with impressive levels of optimisation while still being visual appealing. Gears 5 is fun, chaotic, and engaging; I don't see why anyone who likes to play third person cover shooters wouldn't buy this, franchise newcomers and veterans alike.
