    Amazing! The new elements make the experience much richer and more interesting. The best of all so far. Great mechanics, combat got much better and the story got deeper and deeper.

The 'open-world' is a lot more a series of corridors that have optional areas that branch off and don't contain much of anything bar upgrades, no real interesting character or story moments to discover. 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

Solo por poner dos puntos negativos estos serian 1) IA mejorable, especialmente en los aliados que van bastante a lo CoD, están hay para dar vida al guión pero en combate solo sirven para estorbar y pronunciar frases o advertencias obvias y 2) el juego se queda a mitad de la historia, esto no es del todo malo en mi opinión porque al menos no es como la historia del 4, que básicamente no entiendes que fue lo que quisieron mostrar (casi nada), pero si te deja con muchas ganas de más al finalizar la campaña y un deseo un poco insatisfecho de terminar y dar un cierre. Un juego que en mi opinión esta a la altura del 3 pero todavía no llega al 2 por lo anteriormente mencionado.… 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

    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.

Game runs most of the time on a stable 60 fps but has random frame drops quite often. The story is serviceable enough to get you through, but I couldn't wait for it to be done.

    It's free on Game Pass, and for that it's a good thing to sink some time in if you have nothing else to play.    … Expand

    Best XBOX first party in the whole 8th generation. That is not too good, if I'm being honest, but Gears 5 itself is a great game. I really hope that Gears 6 can improve what we saw here as much as Gears 5 improved on Gears 4.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must admit, when this game released in 2019 I slept on it. After gears 4 I wasn't really as interested in Gears as I had been during the original Trilogy. After playing it again in 2023 here are my takes:

    Pros:

    - The campaign is structured well. You begin act one in a linear classic Gears style following mission objectives. Act 2 onwards turns into a semi-open world adventure but keeps the main story linear and it still feels like gears of war.

    - The camera and model sizes of both you and enemies are scaled much better than they were in Gears 4. Everything feels bigger.

    - The story directly follows Gears 4's ending.

    - Horde mode has had a massive rework, it adds locust, lambent and swarm to the enemy pools and gives us plenty of classes and subclasses to work with.

    - Versus is still as clean as an arena-shooter can be, it leaves behind the arcade-y gnasher brawl for a more grounded and strategized game, with plenty of game modes.

    Cons:

    - The amount of additions to horde mode can feel somewhat overwhelming. The cards, map layouts, defences, enemy types, round modifiers, round objectives, classes and scoring can all become a bit confusing to a newer player.

    - The choice towards the end of Act 4 feels a bit redundant as it's clear one decision will be cannon with the release of a sequel. This also takes away from the choice in the first place. I'd rather they just made a choice of who to kill and went with it rather than have us choose.

    - The 'escape' game mode seems to get rather stale quickly. Once you've done it once it's more or less the exact same. it's a good concept but hasn't been built on enough for variation.    … Expand
