    Wonderful PC version, looks great, runs well, gunplay is fantastic and it has TONS of content. Thanks for bringing the game to steam to!

    Horde mode is the best it has been and is worth the money alone and the campaign is fantastic, best since Gears 2.

    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.

    Played all gears (Gamertag: YanMaxBR) and I might say, best gears ever. Too bad the server still not ideal and microtransactions took control of another game.

    Сюжетная кампания просто на уровне, это что-то, что я так сильно люблю в одиночных кампаниях. Геймдизайн хорош, сначала небольшая прогулочка, потом перестрелка, правильное решение. Графика красивая, левел дизайн еще сильнее все украсил. Персонажи интересные, не для галочки.

    I wouldn't dare rate Gears 5 below an 8. I see a bunch of zeros which is simply an insult to the time, money and effort clearly devoted to this game.

    Graphics are stunning with gorgeous locations and effects, Great care has been taken to animation as motion capture looks great with faces and lip sync good. You will almost never teleport into a vehicle or through a door because    I wouldn't dare rate Gears 5 below an 8. I see a bunch of zeros which is simply an insult to the time, money and effort clearly devoted to this game.

    Graphics are stunning with gorgeous locations and effects, Great care has been taken to animation as motion capture looks great with faces and lip sync good. You will almost never teleport into a vehicle or through a door because dedication has been made to create an immersive experience and there are animations for basically everything you do.

    Audio is another hit with stellar sound effects that hit all the right notes. Explosions feel impactful and weighty which is exactly what you want in a game with many explosions and chainsaws ripping through flesh. I won't be searching up the sound track because the score itself isn't all that memorable but the intense action scenes and emotional beats are all supported by appropriate music which serve the game well. Voice acting is also top notch here,

    The story isn't the highlight and this definitely won't replace your narrative driven games but it wasn't really trying to. It's an excuse to bring you to some cool locations and fight some bad guys with big guns, and to that extent it does its job. The plot moves along at a good pace though I personally didn't care all that much for the overall objective. What kept me interested were the characters as they do genuinely bring a smile to your face with the cheesy squad dialogue and they were all unique enough to not instantly forget who they were if they were gone for a few scenes. There were a few emotional moments and choices which didn't fully land but weren't far off. Maybe it's because I haven't played Gears 4 and so i'm not hugely invested in the characters? Either way at the very least it kept me entertained and interested all the way through.

    Gameplay is absolutely at the top of the class. Almost every shooter mechanic or trope is included here and yet it doesn't feel bloated at all. From powerful, fun guns to environmental hazards. Turret sections to manning your vehicle . Quicktime events to executions and melee combat. There is even stealth and playing as the enemy race. This might sound a bit overdone but it all works out beautifully and never feels in your face. You're not forced to utilise everything in your arsenal but you're encouraged to try them out and have fun. The way they best accomplish this is with your AI companion, Jack.

    Jack functions unlike your other standard AI squaddies, He still revives you when you go down and zaps bad guys; but has abilities which compliment how you choose to play. He has a few support and assault abilities which can be found and upgraded throughout the campaign via the main story as well as sidequests. These often have multiple uses inside and outside combat. For example is the CLOAK ability. Stealth is a pretty barebones system which basically amounts to going behind an enemy to one-shot execute them as long as they have seen you yet, however with the cloak ability you get to reposition or take out key targets like snipers. Further upgrading it will also let you remain in stealth after performing actions which can keep the stealth kill chain active and severely break down enemy defences. Along with the ability to bypass turrets outside combat, this makes upgrading Jacks abilities very beneficial and I used practically all of them while playing.

    Co-Op was extremely well done... if you're playing with just one friend. This is because the 3rd player is forced into the aforementioned Robot role. As much as I just praised Jack in the paragraph above, this does not translate well into 3 player co-op. Not only do the two other human players no longer get use any abilities themselves, playing as Jack just isn't very fun. You don't get to play with any of the big guns nor do much direct damage yourself, you are relegated to support it just isn't enough. I see what they were going for here but sadly it does not pan out. Two player co-op on the other hand is simply fantastic. Both players have different perspectives, even in some cutscenes which always kept us communicating and talking about what just happened. I won't get into spoilers here but it's well worth playing the game with a good friend over a voice call. You can share ammo, work together when taking out enemies and bosses and at times get to play out slightly different experiences, like when very early in the game one of you gets trapped in a flaming building and the other has to rescue them.

    Performance was smooth as butter and I had no frame drops or connection issues playing on co-op the entire way through. There is a suite of customisation and accessibility options here and The Coalition and Microsoft should get nothing but praise for this. Its outstanding. Without jumping into multiplayer I can easily recommend this game. What a great value! Especially since its all available on Game Pass for PC for such little cost. 10/10    … Expand

    Pros: -Tremendous mouse and keyboard support! It plays like a first class PC game. If people complain about it they just aren't good or haven't tweaked settings. -Gorgeous graphics and tremendously optimized! -Intriguing and unique campaign. -Multiplayer stays true to its roots while adding (not subtracting) new variants and modes that keep it fresh.

    -Game pass!!!!

    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.

    BUY it or Get game pass. Its a great game!    … Expand

    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.
