    One of the best adventures I've played for a very long time.
    Interesting dialogs, revealing the world of the game, nice mechanics of research, wonderful design of locations, unusually gameplay situations, well-set battles, good story ...

    Solid 9/10

    No major cliffhanger. Smooth and linear good story. Decent hours of fun except for the little stretch in ACT III.

    Хорошо оптимизированный с супер крутой графикой 5 часть шутера про перекатывания и укрытия. Разрабы решили разбавить геймплей тактичностью и добавили дрона, без которого не обойтись, т.к он октрывает вам все проходы. Но и в бою он пригодится, т.к может ослеплять врагов, давать броню и т.д.

Кста если играть в коопе, то можно и играть за самого дрона. Разрабы явно вдохновились 4 анчартатодом, т.к 2 акта в игре происходит в открытом мире и вам надо передвигается на каких то воздушных санях. Мир естественно пустой, но красив и в некоторых местах бывает песчаные бури с молниями или буран. Кста песчанные бури напоминают безумного макса. Есть побочные задания, но они просты и коротки, типо включить маяк, станцию или помочь челикам. За выполнение побочек, вам дают топ стволы или улучшения для дрона. Кста дрон можно и нужно прокачивать т.к они полезен в бою. Мультиплеер на любителя, не каждому зайдет играть в сетевую где 99% процентов игроков с дробовиками, а большинство оружия мусор, т.к медленно убивают. Вы можете раз 10 в чела попасть, а он подбежит и ваншотнет вас с дроба. Орда интересный режим, можно на релаксичах побегать пострелять. Новый режим побег интересен, но быстро надоедает. Сюжет простой, но интересный и затягивает, а в конце будет неожиданный поворот. В итоге хочу сказать что игра хорошая, и очень красивая. Ждем продолжения Expand

    Campanha bacana, pegou a única personagem bacana do Gears 4 e tornou a principal, boa escolha.

    Pontos Positivos + Tiroteios muito dinâmicos, com variações nos cenários e cada tipo de inimigo age de um jeito, precisando de uma estratégia diferente; + História bacana, mais pessoal e introspectiva; Pontos Negativos: + Checklist da Microsoft, tem que ter mundo aberto, mesmo que não
    Campanha bacana, pegou a única personagem bacana do Gears 4 e tornou a principal, boa escolha.

    Pontos Positivos
    + Tiroteios muito dinâmicos, com variações nos cenários e cada tipo de inimigo age de um jeito, precisando de uma estratégia diferente;
    + História bacana, mais pessoal e introspectiva;

    Pontos Negativos:
    + Checklist da Microsoft, tem que ter mundo aberto, mesmo que não sirva para nada, apenas faz você demorar mais para começar a próxima fase.
    + Tem uma escolha pra fazer no final que não faz o menor sentido mecânico (Tem que escolher Entre A e C, quando B seria a escolha óbvia), nem narrativo (Na história do jogo, escolher C faz sentido, mas se você carregar a fase de novo, dá para escolher A para ver o que acontece).

    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.

    Management is terrible, the game is terrible, the game is disproportionately light and heavy, there is no balance, skirmishes with the bosses are long necessary and monotonous. A very bad game.

    We played together with my wife.
    It was a lot of fun. I liked the game.
    The graphics are excellent, exciting battles, a lot of spectacular moments.
    The plot is difficult to evaluate, since I did not play the previous parts.

    Beautiful graphics, enjoyable cover-based shooting mechanics that force you to use the companion robot's abilities, and a co-op campaign.

    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

    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 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.

    Gamepass sayesinde çıktığı gün oynadığım tek oyun olabilir. Hafif açık dünyalı, biraz yan görevli ancak genellikle düz ilerlemeli aksiyon oyunu. Temiz çalışıyor, kafa dağıtmak için ideal.

    Поиграл 1,5 часа. Игра очень скучная. Сюжет никакой, музыка тоже, геймплей неоригинален и однообразен. Не понимаю, почему эта игра такая популярная.

    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.

    I give this game 6 enthusiastic "Mehs" (playing on PC w/ 6600xt) reviewing CAMPAIGN ONLY (on a harder setting)

    Voice Acting is great. Graphics are great. Gameplay physics and general mechanics are also great/smooth. Generally speaking this game, with a bit more creativity, could be great. Now...for the not-so-great. While the mechanics run well there's no depth to them. When you die

    Voice Acting is great. Graphics are great. Gameplay physics and general mechanics are also great/smooth. Generally speaking this game, with a bit more creativity, could be great.

    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.

    Story wise it's a bit slow, big generic. I'm at the beginning of ACT 3 so I'll update this if I end up changing my mind.

    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?

    Podría insultar o tirar cosas de la rabia, pero han dejado pasar una enorme oportunidad. GRAN retroceso del Gears of War 4, que me pareció un juego EXCELENTE.
    Calificación: 5/10. Bien MEDIOCRE, olvidable y MUY mejorable.

    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.
