    This game seriously impressed me. Much more so than I thought it was going to,
    Not only might this be one of the single greatest PC developed games ever with its extensive settings list and in game benchmark, but its willingness to take chances where the Gears 4 failed to deliver puts this title leagues above its predecessor.
    The game is graphically stunning and is one of the best
    This game seriously impressed me. Much more so than I thought it was going to,
    Not only might this be one of the single greatest PC developed games ever with its extensive settings list and in game benchmark, but its willingness to take chances where the Gears 4 failed to deliver puts this title leagues above its predecessor.

    The game is graphically stunning and is one of the best looking games I have ever played. Period.
    it doesnt need Ray Tracing to stand out amongst the crowd as the best looking UE4 title we have ever seen. Well done The Coalition.

    The story also was a surprise. I felt that Gears 4 played it safe with its story. It was not bad by any means, but it did not take any chances as it simply served as a way to introduce the new set of characters. Gears 5 takes the foundation that Gears 4 built and took it to a whole new level! There are some serious story arcs that are explored that fans have been wanting to know since the OG game and I thought they did a fantastic job with it. its gripping and you always want to get to the next level to uncover the next piece.

    The semi-open world game play was also a gamble that The Coalition took and while it is imperfect, I felt that it still pays off. It gives the world this sense of scale that Gears levels aren't typically known for. I do think that the levels are a bit empty feeling, but as a first attempt at this, I think they did a good job at rewarding exploration with looking for components for Jack.

    JACK! How could I almost forget him. He is by far the most fun game mechanic Gears has ever had and it really changes how you play the game, especially at higher difficulties. The very RPG-lite upgrades for him make it feel like you're actually progressing and building him up. I love it.

    The multiplayer is fantastic and I don't have too much to say about it. I feel its very standard for a gears game. The addition of PC & Xbox crossplay is a very welcome feature as well as now I can team up with my friends on Xbox for one seamless experience.

    This game is absolutely a step forward for the franchise and I cant wait to see how this new trilogy concludes. Kudos to the Coalition.

    Графика получилось отменной. Unrial Engine выдаёт просто ультраклассную картинку без всякой трассировки лучей или еще чего-нибудь супер новомодного. Но все красиво, сочно, прекрасно детализировано, гейм-дизайн уровней на высоте. И вообще видна ручная и кропотливая работа создателей.
    Очень понравился интерфейс. Простой, даже можно сказать, минималистичный, при этом информативный.
    Кто любит хорошие одиночные компании в шутерах, рекомендую к ознакомлению.

    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.
    Please gentlemen of Microsoft, take a humble look at From Software.
    I have uninstalled the game after 5 hours of play. Money lost.

    To start off, I made an account to rate this game, I've never felt this way with a game before.

    Honestly this game is a pile of crap. First Gears game that I have ever played, I played with my friends who said the previous games were better. Anything would've been better than wasting 16 hours of my life to beat this campaign, that had a decent story that I probably would have cared for

Anything would've been better than wasting 16 hours of my life to beat this campaign, that had a decent story that I probably would have cared for if the game didn't either: crap itself for me or a friend, or have 10000's of bugs in the campaign alone.

    I don't know how they could've released a game so halfed assed that Destiny 2 had a better year 1. I feels like there is no support from the Devs, none of the bugs have been fixed since we started playing this game and we played over many months to JUST finish the sad excuse of a campaign. Half the time the cut-scenes wouldn't even load for 1 or all of us. For me, I didn't even get to see the end of the damn game cause the cut-scene killed itself mid way through and left me hanging out in the world space.

    If I could get a refund for this game, I would take it in a heart beat, sadly it was a gift from a friend. Still hope he can get a refund for this game.

    Awfully optimized, there's a lot of performance issues which include fps drops and stuttering. Wallbounce is ruined since bullet magnetism is so notable which makes this game look noob-friendly ruining competitive. Gnasher consistency is nasty and unreliable, Campaign is boring (I didn´t even finish it) and characters are boring too. Gears used to be gold, but the Coalition killed it.

В целом, если бы игра состояла только из одиночной кампании, не было бы всех этих технических проблем, то это оценка была бы 8/10, но так как оценивать следует весь предоставляемый контент и тех. состояние, то больше 6 дать просто невозможно Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My first ever Gears game.
    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.
    otherwise. not bad. not good either

    Interesting dialogs, revealing the world of the game, nice mechanics of research, wonderful design of locations, unusually gameplay situations, well-set battles, good story ...

    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?

    I would have enjoyed this game if it wasn't so buggy and broken. Got to the point where it won't load my save anymore in the final act. Very annoying. Your mileage may vary but for me, not being able to finish it means I can't give it any score, let alone a good one.

    Gears 5, at least as far as the campaign is concerned, is unquestionably the worst in the series by a considerable margin.

    Gears 5, at least as far as the campaign is concerned, is unquestionably the worst in the series by a considerable margin. The Gears series as a whole is nothing if not consistently mediocre, making me wonder if there was something going on behind the curtain to cause the baffling issues present in Gears 5.

    The lack of meaningful gameplay iteration has never been more prominent than in 5. There are three new enemies, none of which are particularly threatening or interesting to fight. The general bullet-sponginess of the enemies, a long-standing personal criticism of the series, is the worst it's ever been. Two new guns were added, one of which is a clunkier Lancer and the other of which is irredeemably awful, to the point of being nearly unusable.

    However, credit where credit is due: now your robot friend can do things in battle. He can shock enemies, heal you, act as a mobile flashbang, temporarily bring enemies to your side, and do a few other things I can't be bothered to list. This added some interesting dynamics to fights. Unfortunately, the upgrades are unbalanced, and things like the heal and the enemy hacking upgrade are so good that you'd never want to use anything else.

    The other gameplay "feature" are open world segments, which bring absolutely nothing to the table. They come with side quests and optional areas to explore, none of which I bothered with because there's nothing the game could possibly reward me with. This is a Gears game. I don't earn EXP, there are no weapon upgrades, and I just don't care enough about the story. The open world segments serve as nothing more than a tedious "go from point A to B to advance the plot."

    Speaking of the plot, it's terrible. Like, Gears has never really been lauded for its deep, complex storyline, but the plot of 5 reads like a bad fanfiction. Nothing really happens, the plot is stagnated by constant (sometimes literal) roadblocks, there's a massive revelation that the plot skates right past and then never mentions again, the characters are less likeable than ever, everyone's response to everything is a snarky comment, and there's never any sense of urgency or tension or anything. Nobody feels like they have any idea what they're doing, there never feel like there are any stakes, and the characters are all so unlikeable that many story beats just don't land.

    Gameplay wise... it's a Gears game. It plays exactly the same as it did in the first. And that's fun, except when it's not, because Gears games have a bad habit of occasionally feeling very frustrating due to the numerous instakill mechanics. 5 is no exception, except the number of frustrating encounters was much higher than any of the other games. To add to it, there were a number of times where a combat encounter was teased and then... trivialized for comedic effect? It was baffling and broke what little tone the game had already established.

    And the last, and most strange part: the game suffered from numeous technical issues. There were many cases where enemy AI got stuck in a loop or broke entirely. Textures failed to load properly on several occasions, cutscenes bugged out in more than one case, and at one point a strange lighting bug caused everyone's hair to appear neon orange. There was also a baffling FOV bug that I have never seen in a video game before, where every time the first player in splitscreen was grabbed, his perspective narrowed inwards and stretched vertically until the next forced perspective change, rendering his screen unplayable until it fixed itself.

    In short, there is often little point in writing a review for a Gears of War game, because the reviews already came out in 2006 with the launch of the original game. For Gears 5, it is necessary to make an exception: it is a bad game, and a bad Gears game.

    I have NO crash, except only one time monitor black'ed out when with playing co-op campaign with friends. my rigs are 9600kf(4.8Ghz) with sapphire 5700xt.
    Even playing with supersampling enabled on 1k monitors with 2k resolution, no stuttering at all. Great optimization.

    The story is not what gears players are really looking for when playing this saga but in this chapter, some of the main mysteries of planet Sera are finally coming to the light and this is what we were waiting for since Gears 3.
    The gameplay is the same as all previous games. Few new weapons had been added and few have been removed. The new feature in the gameplay is the possibility of control Jack (the robot) during battle and exploration. It can grab for you items located in unreachable places, bring weapons to you, take control of IT systems and even use new defensive and offensive skills; useful during battle.

    Gears 5 is the same gears as always? Yes but improved in all of his aspects and with stunning graphics. And it finally fixes plot holes.

    I didn't like the previous chapter, will I like this one? Probably no, the gameplay is so particular and if you don't like it then you can't appreciate the game.

    Este Gers 5 gana a su antecesor en todos los aspectos(Bosses, dificultad, espectacularidad, historia...) gráficamente es uno de los mejores juegos del año y resulta muy divertido.
    Mantiene, a mi parecer, los mismos "defectos" de esta IP como son:
    - Pasa por la historia de forma superficial( Creo que este universo tiene un "lore" tremendo muy desaprovechado). Me hubiera encantado saber más de Kate (y su relación con el enjambre) y sobre todo de JD y su cambio de personalidad.
    - Lo injustificado de ciertas situaciones( El problema no es estar toda la partida de tiroteo en tiroteo porque son geniales, el problema es la (no) justificación de estar permanentemente haciendo frente a oleadas de enemigos.). Si bien es cierto que en los capítulos 2 y 3 con escenarios más abiertos esto está más acotado.

    Conclusión:

    Un juego tremendo, muy bien llevado y muy entretenido. Recomendado para pasar buenos ratos, disfrutar de su espectacularidad y no calentarse mucho la cabeza.

    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.

    ====Actualización del juego 08/11/19====

Es un gran juego, para la gente que gusta de la saga gears es mejorar todas las cosas del 4 e incluirlas en una historia más larga y más entretenida y mejor diseñada, el mundo abierto es maravilloso y cambiar de personaje fue una buena apuesta, el que el juego tenga subtitulos es algo maravilloso, sonido se intensifica y esas cosas que nadie se dió cuenta es para la gente que no puede escuchar, la optimización en 4k es maravillosa y el online es muy a gusto me gusta jugar con sarah connor en cuanto a todo un juego de 10.

    REVIEW du mode SOLO seulement :

    Mouaif.
    Très scripté et très couloir, aucune ambition et/ou innovation.
    C'est mon premier Gears, et franchement, c'est à peine mieux que moyen.
    De la part d'une si grosse license, je m'attendais à un peu mieux !

    Certes, le titre est propre, beau. Mais .... C'est creux quoi ! Un couloir, un seul chemin, des cinématiques qui coupent le rythme, puis pan pan... A couvert ... c'est a toi de tirer, voila. Maintenant c'est à moi. Et après 50 balles dans la tête, le mob meurt. Suivant !
    Ce n'est pas ultra passionnant. Sans être trop fade ou nul, c'est ... moyen plus

    Tu sens l'IA scriptée à 2km : le primary target, c'est toi. Celui qui a une barre de vie, c'est toi, pas tes alliés. Eux ils ne sont quasi jamais primary target, ils ne meurent quasiment pas. 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 ?"

    Au final, c'est jouable sans être génial. Un titre oubliable, malheureusement pour lui et l'aura que sa license dégage

It fails at almost everything it tries to do, from a quasi open world level structure that just wastes time and development resources while adding nothing to the experience, to technical glitches that make it one of the least polished games of the year (sound, graphics, gameplay, AND progression glitches). Narratively it's a mess with new enemy designs not really making sense within the world, with one of the main characters from the previous game being effectively ruined then unceremoniously being killed off. Adding to the poor quality it is also by far the shortest gears game of the main series.

    I would not recommend that anyone go out of their way to play this game.

    I enjoyed it. It was much like all the other gears games. Not much different mechanically. But the story was interesting. I'd like to see them finally ditch the 3rd person view and go with a 1st person view to mix things up a bit and try something more refreshing to the series.

    "Gears of Opinionated Alt-Chick" is not what fans of the series want. Get woke, go broke. If you want to be successful, you have to cater to the fanbase that brought you the success you had, instead of catering to SJW's who don't even buy your games. There is nothing cringier than being forced to play some feminist savior in a game that used to be about testosterone and war.

    Gears 5's characters are so weird, especially Kait. While playing as her they make you question her. Why would you make the player question the character they play as?

    Oh and they try really hard to make you hate JD. You know, the ''white male bad guy''.

    I'm pretty much done with the franchise. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this. So is Marcus by the way, even though he and delta squad are about the only enjoyable part of this game.

    This is the first Gears (Of War) game that I've played so I can't say how it compares to previous entries, but by god it is boring.

It's essentially a long cut scene interspersed with occasional bursts of frustrating shooting - frustrating if you're playing with a controller, anyway, since there is no aim assist unless you set the difficulty to minimum, and no cursor when you're in cover to give you a clue where you'll be aiming when you pop up to fire. Unless you've marked the centre of your TV with a pen the chances of you actually hitting anything when you pop out of cover without a tedious interval of nudging the thumb sticks (whilst you get peppered with bullets) is virtually zero. I would have expected a series that originated on the XBox to have shooting mechanics that were well tuned for an XBox controller, but it feels like it is built for keyboard and mouse.

    Beyond the barely present gameplay the story and characters are profoundly uninteresting (as far as I've progressed so far anyway ... some way into Act 2). I'm so tired of wise-cracking Americans in games, give me something different. Or at least try to make the wise cracks interesting or amusing?

    The game is beautiful, of course, can't deny it that, and it runs at a rock solid 60FPS on my rig. Unreal Engine certainly shines and the artists have put a lot of work into getting the most out of it.

    By god it's boring though.

The game is good both in graphics and cut-scenes, the plot is interesting to follow, and of course I really liked the shooting - it is simply amazing. The most memorable boss, of course the Matriarch, on high difficulty, he did not let you get bored. We look forward to the next part from you.

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 лучше. 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.

    Multiplayer damage, matchmaking and servers are a joke. The inconsistent gameplay break the whole experience. I stopped counting how many time my character just sits there to get shot, because of how the servers handle lag. My connection is top notch and my ping is never over 60, yet damage doesn't register, character just sits there to get shot, it is a joke.
    The next big thing that breaks everything with the game is the ''micro'' transactions. TC is greedier than Activision. Their requirement to grind for items is just plain ridiculous. For a character online you have to grind for a week if not more, and even them it is not guaranteed you will get it, since they put a bunch of small things you have to do in escape and horde, which has to do with special character bosses, which may or may not spawn. Or spend $5 per character...see how easy this is. Disgrace! Greed and incompetence. There is no variety in multiplayer. There are 4 maps on rotation. That's it - 4! WTF is this? It's a joke.

This game feels like Gears of War 2 where to play with low ping you would need to be host, in this case you would need to be very close to whatever random server is chosen. The movement is also very clunky especially with the current cover system which feels like it got worse from previous Gears as well. The character selection and map selection is the lowest I have ever seen, and the maps get stale quickly due to only 7 different maps to choose from. It is very hard to find good things to say about this game when I feel any other Gears of War did everything better. Expand

    A spoiler-free review of the game at its present state (11.10.2019). I wanted to write a cohesive opinion, but somehow it feels easier to organize everything in bullet points.

    The pros:
    + The longest campaign out of all GoW games; masterfully crafted with suspense, laughter, dread and tears - like the very best moments of the series. A huge leap in comparison to Gears 4.
    + The Old Delta appear frequently
    + Different environments
    + A lot of dark, fearful sequences
    + Well crafted engagements, with some good ideas, showing that the old formula can still be entertaining if well executed
    + Gears 4 characters have matured, Gears 5 characters are as awesome as ever (Judgment aside)
    + Jack is an important part of the team, with an RPG-like skill tree; playable in coop mode in campaign
    + A lot of fan service in the campaign - returning characters, locations, references to books, Gears history and lore
    + A lot of high quality cut-scenes and cinematics
    + A lot of dialogue
    + 3-person on-line coop in campaign, 2-person split screen
    + an Unreal Engine 4 showcase with beautiful visuals and outstanding sound (Dolby Atmos); this is actually the best sounding game I've ever played, headphones highly recommended
    + Structure building in Horde mode is now character based, energy can be stored individually or shared among everyone
    + Good enemy variety in Horde
    + AI fills empty slots in horde (!) if someone leaves
    + Jack is a playable character in Horde, with unique gameplay mechanics
    + A new 3-player, short co-op mode called Escape; those who don't like versus and have no time for horde can have a 15-20 minute match of Escape
    + matchmaking AS WELL AS player/dedicated servers with personal settings (you still get achievements, XP and tour of duty things!) - no more problems with finding people who actually want to plow through all 50 horde waves in a single session. There are plenty of servers named "1-50 horde". Just played one game all the way from wave 1 to 50 with some nice, dedicated folks.
    + many customization options for those of you who like this stuff
    + in general - good latency online
    + cross-platform play
    + no loot boxes

    The cons:
    - worst AI out of all Gears games; your teammates may not revive you even if you are next to them; enemies sometimes get stuck or just stand there like a bunch of idiots
    - a technical mess: once I faced a bug that forced me to restart the last checkpoint, choppy or glitched cut-scenes and videos, disconnects
    - the AI of gears that replace players in Horde is a joke
    - Ubisoft-like microtransactions, not necessary, yet annoying
    - the final chapter is significantly shorter than the other ones; very good, but short
    - versus is still just a gnasher festival
    - Escape is a bit of a letdown; not as interesting as it sounds, needs improvement, map rotation; some players just try to storm through the level without firing a bullet
    - (subjective) open world elements, better than most games, yet I hope they don't go down this path - I fear that boring side activities may creep into Gears 6 (looking at you Ubisoft)

    The game is worth the money for the singleplayer campaign alone. With over 300h in Gears 4 multiplayer, I know I will be playing this one for years to come. I do believe that the game improves as moths pass, but with all the technical issues I cannot give it a perfect score. It's a 9 out of 10 for me and I would like to thank the Coalition not only for continuing my favouite franchise, but also for improving it in nearly every aspect. Your series is the reason why I bought my Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Looking forward to Gears Tactics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I was playing Act I, genuinely enjoying a solid Gears experience. The combat has been tweaked a lot better this time around compared to Gears 4. You no longer have to spend half an hour on a miniboss(that's what it felt like). Minibosses have health bars and take far less to kill than before. It's not all good, though. Jumpers can totally waste you with barrages unless you hide behind tall cover to gradually whittle their health. They weren't AS aggressive in Gears 4, here it's barrage after barrage with no delay between.

    So yeah, I was thoroughly enjoying just about everything, the gameplay, the graphics, the story, when the game went FULL WOKE. We had a character assassination moment, because men bad, then you start Act II with the girl and this REALLY bothered me. Del never shuts up about how great she is, constantly kissing her ♥♥♥ and praising her, the Great Feminist Savior.

    Also, tell me if you've heard this woke story before: she is the ONE, she is the KEY to EVERYTHING. The retcon in Gears 5 is mighty strong, they're insinuating the Locust were just a science experiment created by Men. Men BAD, do you get it? Oh and JD returns in Act 3 and starts kissing her ♥♥♥ as well. ALL PRAISE THE WOMAN.

    The first act is classic gears, but Act 2 and 3 are open world Ubisoft crap filled with.....filler side missions. Yes, side missions in a Gears game. So, rather than the well designed levels of past games, you now have your typical empty open world with around 10 side activities for Acts 2 and 3. It's utter ♥♥♥♥♥.

    Pros: Improved fresh campaign compared to Gears 4.
    Cons: I've played every Gears game. And this game has made me decide I will instead be getting a PS5 next generation. Rod and Phil you guys are not smart and are failing at producing AAA must have 1st party games completely. This game is still just more corporate microtransaction bullsh*t. Do nobody should buy this game. The progression system just like with Gears 4 is trash and not fun. TC and Rod lied to everybody that this game would be players first and it is 100% not. Fun should always be first but Microsoft continues to not understand that as a company. When a progression system pushes you hard to not enjoy the game or not make the best play but instead try to achieve a certain tasks in each multiplayer session you have f*cked the multiplayer. Also instead of Gears 4s grindy lootbox microtrasaction system they've replaced it with a convoluted microtransaction mess with nothing of value to unlock and with no reasonable or fun way to progress toward unlocking anything. The only way to unlock anything of value will cost you at least an extremely excessive extra $40. They clearly marketed this game and redesigned the microtrasaction system to confuse customers and make it difficult for reviewers to warn players all with the main goal to limit outrage during launch. This is unfriendly and unethical behavior. Like with Gears 4 this games player base will die massively as players are left with again a trash progression system that is not centered around fun and the multiplayer gameplay itself. Under no circumstance should you trust TC and Rod again and buy Gears 6 in the future. Gears of War is now a dead franchise that lies and manipulates you. Its not surprising at all that they made Gears 5 crossplatform with PC since they basically killed the franchises playerbase with 4s grindy lootbox microtransactions system. But after this I don't know what TC will do to trick players to buy 6. I believe this game just spent the last bit of trust players had with TC and Rod. For me this game was going to decide if I switched to PlayStation for next gen and this game has decided it for me Microsoft is not serious about creating Fun AAA games they are not PlayStation and they are certainly not a Nintendo. Microsoft has taken yet again another stupid pointless approach to gaming and blowing player trust. but for many this was Microsofts last chance. This game just one PlayStation 5 the gen console war.

Also AA method used in the game make it a bit blurry and there is no option for AA to switch it off or choose other method. Campaign and plot is satisfying but as I said earlier game is too short.

    it is fun game with nice visuals.. This game is a great treat for Gears of War fans. Lots of shooting and intense action from beginning to the end. There is not much in Gears 5 that we have not seen it in previous Gears of War games. It is good game, just not great. The game is well optimized. it runs close to 60FPS @ 1080p on my Ryzen 3400g with Vega 11 integrated graphics.

    The game has a good coop campaign and after playing borderlands 3, I can only say that the devs have outdone themselfs in therms of performance. It looks beautiful and it runs awesome. The reason why this is only an 8 is because they hyped the escape mode way too much, for what it actually is.

    WORST checkpoints ever. Even if you have beaten huge wave of enemies or one big enemy which takes a lot of time on hard difficulty (normal is boring because you don't feel any resistance at all) and die randomly from one grenade or rocket of last enemy (it oneshotes you no matter what which is REALLY frustrating) or there's another wave coming and you died at the end of it - you gottaWORST checkpoints ever.

There are many bugs when enemy just stops and does nothing and you can't go forward because he's alive and you have to search for him. I had a bug when in kraken fight it just didnt open last eye so i had to do all the fight AGAIN.
    Dumb matriarch fight. Everything what makes big enemies strong is their huge hp bar so you have to fire 300 bullets in one of them which is stupid old game design.
    People say graphics is good and most of the time it's true, but even with ultra textures its' ok but not everywhere.
    Plot is boring, relationships between characters are made SO BADLY that it makes no interest at all. And i know that we have this dumb feminism trend but playing 90% of the game as a boring girl in supposedly brutal shooter is't fun
    The only good thing in this game is optimisation, which is really good with this graphics, but game itself has so bad game design, plot, checkpoints and ancient gameplay.

    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.
    I give Gears 5

    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.

    - the magazines weapons are far too low and no power feeling : the weapons feel underpowered.

    - your character is slow, which is made worse by the bad commands.

    - impossible to skip the intro scenes when the game is loading and loading times are far too long (on an Intel Optane 900p, around 1 minute to load the level !)

    Compared to other fast-paced FPS such as Wolfenstein or Borderlands, Gears 5 is bad : only the graphics are good and the game is well-optimized (60 fps at 4k, everything maxed on a RTX 2080 TI).

    Having only played the single player I can say that from a technical and visual standpoint the game is fantastic, but that's where the positives end.

    The dialogue... Oh god... Whoever was responsible for the dialogue: You're not funny. Your jokes are not funny and your writing is cringe-inducing. The protagonists act like characters out of a teen drama novel. God forbid there would have been a single line of dialogue where they don't apologize for something, act insulted, or attempt to show their gratitude in the most exaggerated manner imaginable.
    I got Mass Effect Andromeda flashbacks while playing this game; that should tell you something about the quality of the writing.

    It's time to bring Marcus Fenix out of retirement. I'm genuinely sick of the new protagonists.

    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.

    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.

    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. 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.

    En cuanto al combate es muy parecido al que vimos en Gears of War 4 aunque en este se incorpora la capacidad de recargar aunque no hayamos gastado ninguna bala. En este juego se incorpora a la plantilla un robot de apoyo (al principio será Dave, pero luego se sustituye por Jack) pero no se le da mucha profundidad de mecánicas fuera del combate. Siempre que se le necesita es porque hay un conducto y una puerta bloqueada. En general le recomiendo a quien quiera empezar en la saga Gears of War ver un poco del 4 y jugar a este 5. Luego jugar a los demás como precuela.

    I would have honestly put 7.5 to this game. It's not the best Gears 5 out there, it's a little bit better than GoW 4 but definitely not a masterpiece. Single player story is meh and the open world moments are dull. Overall it's a good game but not what I would expect from one of the biggest Microsoft exclusive series. Gears 1-2-3 were way better!

    Mais um rush que não deu certo. Bugs graficos presentes em boa parte do game, IA completamente burra e falta de detalhes que jogos da mesma franquia há 10 anos atras tinham.

    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.

    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.

    Gears 5 is actually what you expect it to be. More Gears of War. I skipped Gears 4, and I am having an absolute blast with Gears 5. It is a FULL game out of the box, with all the expected modes, characters and settings.
    Cross play works flawlessly, and the graphics are top notch.
    I am playing on PC, through the XBOX Games Launcher, on the Game Pass for PC. I have all settings maxed out

    I have all settings maxed out at 1440p, on a 2700x-5700XT and 16GB 3200 RAM. It consistently runs at approx 120fps.
    There are micro-transactions, but being the game can be played with the game pass, I have no issues with it. They also aren't pay to win.
    it is just so refreshing to have a game work day 1, with no major issues. Well done to the development team. Only thing I have encountered is being put into overseas servers in multiplayer. This has only happened 2-3 times out of 40 or so games, so its minor, but still an annoyance.

    Crashes during cutscenes (often) and during gameplay (not so often) playing single. Ok, let`s be honest — it crashes all the time. BSODS and sometimes just crashes to desktop.

    Coop is unplayable at all as it BSODS EVERY TIME every 5 minutes or more often. Crashes while loading, crashes while playing. Usually it is BSOD. Sometimes you just crash to desktop. Me and my buddy spent time

    Coop is unplayable at all as it BSODS EVERY TIME every 5 minutes or more often. Crashes while loading, crashes while playing. Usually it is BSOD. Sometimes you just crash to desktop. Me and my buddy spent time trying to play but just gave up. Unplayable in coop. BSODs.

    For now I`ve tried around some things hoping to fix it but nothing helped.

    While I was playing single I wasn`t expectin` the game to be in such a bad shape. I was mistaken.

    Coop is unplayable. It`s either a refund or you just have to wait hopin` for comin` fixes.

    Windows 10 last version. I7 4790s. DDR3 8gb. AMD RX 480 4gb last driver. Samsung Evo 860 SSD.

    Stop selling broken games. Give it for free or call it broken as it is otherwise

    Gears 5 has the most game types out of any Gears game before it. If you want to be a competitive player you have all the ranked matches, or if you are a casual you have arcade and quick play, if you are big into coop you have campaign, horse, and escape. They also made a map editor so we will be getting new maps from the community all year long. Gears 5 is great in my opinion because itGears 5 has the most game types out of any Gears game before it.

    5 for 5, it's the same like the fourth episode. Great optimization but boring gameplay.

    This is a good game and it is a shame I cannot bring myself to give this an 8 or 9. Here's why. 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 youThis is a good game and it is a shame I cannot bring myself to give this an 8 or 9. Here's why. 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.

    It really is a good game but these Microsoft issues are holding it back.

    The single player is good , however I can't say the same for mp as it crashes way too frequent on my gtx 1060 card while playing ranked game, costed me a win on last round as it crashed right before the game score screen and didnt count my win.... Coalition please fix this asap!! untill then just stick to single player and endure its crashes...

    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.

    This is my first Gears game. The game looks stunning and runs great (RX580). Story seems OK, shooting mechanics are also OK. Don't think this game is worth $60 but I got it with gamepass so it's a fantastic deal.

    Introduction of open world led to action slowing down a little, but new lore and world-building more than make up for it. [Issue#241, p.30]

    Gears 5 plays around with the formula a bit, but it's still at its best when it's just being a solid-ass Gears of War game.

    This is an intense blockbuster which delivers its brutal action just as advertised.
