    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.

    This game is a step back from Gears 4, I know most people say Gears 4 is worse but I disagree, while some scene does look good here, the story is a bit of a mess.

    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.

    Pretty mediocre rip-off of gears. 4 was pretty bad, relegating all the good characters we like to 2nd rate support roles, but this one which replaces big gruff wise cracking Marcus with a whiny annoying passive aggressive girl is just offensive. Who can honestly say they thought this character was likeable?
    Gameplay is uninspired and adds only gimmicks while cutting down on the core cover

    Gameplay is uninspired and adds only gimmicks while cutting down on the core cover based tactics of the series Visuals are nice, but not very gears of war at all. The aesthetic is gone now.

    Feels like a bad fan project. Also, many technical issues such as being incompatible with headset mics. Never fixed of course.

    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.

    The game was broken on launch date, till today there's some achievements don't track properly. Many of them are too much time consuming and very boring, repetitive, doesn't enrich the gaming experience.

    Putting that aside, the campaing was only ok, the open world areas are a waste, trying to be a filler to an uninteresting campaing. It has some good firefights but overall aren't worthy.
    The game was broken on launch date, till today there's some achievements don't track properly. Many of them are too much time consuming and very boring, repetitive, doesn't enrich the gaming experience.

    Putting that aside, the campaing was only ok, the open world areas are a waste, trying to be a filler to an uninteresting campaing. It has some good firefights but overall aren't worthy. The difficulty on this game is based on how many want to screw/punish you on Campaign/horde/escape.

    Graphics are good but the general performance at least on PC is irregular, random stuttering during matches 'cause probably it loads custom weapon skins when they're pick up, if the game is on HDD like on Xbox One, there's a high time response causing such stuttering, also when bosses spawns, is annoying. The first years was horrible with random crashes and most sometimes BSOD, alongside the GW502 error, the only game with worse performance was Gears of War 4, common denominator: TC poor programming.

    Campaign DLC is very short, tasteless, you're about to get action too late. Too many sections where you only walk without sprint, you can't skip some of those dialogues ingame.

    Escape mode is entertaining but abuses on pretty generic assets, if isn't on ice levels, are factory levels, too boring see the same maps accommodated in different ways. The majority of claases aren't suitables for many hives, forcing you use some specific classes, for those skilled players isn't a issue, but actually if you like for example some class and want to use it on hives with huge disavantage, it won't be enjoyable after all. Those who beat all hives with the "worst" classes doesn't represent the average player trying to have fun in a sense not everybody have the same skill.

    Horde mode with daily modifiers present the same problem with only using certain classes to beat it more easily, despite that, is a disaster play a team based game with people that play the opposite, for example, an assault class that uses explosives, some players use it entirely as engineer, all because this bad game design is so open causing any player do whatever they want, not matter if they do it to the detriment of the team.

    Versus is a total mess, I didn't mention that PVE had several changes, some positives, other were for worst, in versus was the worst, the gunplay doesn't feel enjoyable, all related with competitive like earn rewards, rankings, etc. feels more like a full time job than actually enjoying a game.
    Maps designs only improved with the latest released, the rest are just generic artistically.

    The service model on this game is predatory, exclusive expensive skins and the majority of them are incomplete due the scorcher was added after. If you don't buy them, you can earn coins in an insane grind. The Iron is useless, only if you want to get the skins asap 1 week before the rest can earn them through playing, and you can't use it to get those exclusive skins like Chrome Steel.

    Talking about coins and iron, TC made something called boost, mainly to make more players addicted on focus only on level up asap, they made less events to make players buy this boost, otherwise it'll take a lot of time to level up, and there's some achievements for level up, so, basically pay for earn it.

    The grind to level up classes and cards are ridiculous, some necessary cards are unlocked after a lot of hours playing, if you want to go on faster, you need to play on Master, but of course if you play it without cards you'll be punished horribly, so playing in lower difficulties doesn't help due the horrible reward system, giving you repeated cards you don't need. In the first years of this game it was worse.

    Overall game only can be enjoyed with a close group of friends, but after all disasters there's no real incentive to play. TC made a bunch of players only focused on unlock stuffs, play for rewards instead of play for fun.

    In conclussion, is a irregular game, but with a very bad developer behind, poor costumer support, poor treatment to the user, random stuttering/crashes on high end PCs but being a minority, who cares? And finally the constant changes since the game was launched, different versus tuning, the change from heroes to classes, adding/removing stuffs in skill cards, etc. It just shows they have no f#@!cking idea on what to do. One of the worst studios I ever seen. I'll never confident

    Jugué en su momento al Gears of War 1 y me pareció que su jugabilidad era aburrida y su historia poco interesante.

Ahora, con la quinta parte, y tras haber disfrutado de Gears Tactics, decidí darle otra oportunidad a la saga y ver qué tal había evolucionado, y ha sido un error. La jugabilidad está algo mejorada, pero en buena medida sigue siendo el mismo coger cobertura-disparar-moverse a siguiente cobertura y poco más. Añade a eso que, si lo juegas en singleplayer, tienes que lidiar con que la IA de tus compañeros es extremadamente estúpida, a niveles de pegarse un tiro. La historia no está mal, pero tampoco es nada del otro mundo. El multijugador me ha parecido más interesante, especialmente el modo hordas y el sistema de progresión, pero acaba haciéndose repetitivo muy rápido.

    Gráficamente el juego cumple, pero personalmente nunca me gustó demasiado el diseño de personajes ni enemigos del universo Gears. El sonido también cumple bien. Y entonces llega la peor parte: los bugs. En PC, la optimización es nefasta, haciendo que el juego consuma una cantidad de recursos locos, se buguea de vez en cuando, los personajes se traban, etc. Y llegó al punto absurdo de que la cinemática del comienzo del acto 3 literalmente me cuelga el juego, aunque cambie la configuración y todo, haciendo imposible avanzar en la campaña pasado ese punto. Añade a eso unos controles que, en el mejor caso, se podrían definir como "caprichosos" y tienes un juego que, sin duda, se queda muy lejos de ser un buen juego.

    Por todo ello, yo recomendaría no acercarse a él. Un 3.

    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.

    Como novedades destaco la libertad que te da para que explores y te invita hacerlo en cada pantalla para ir mejorando a tu acompañante Jack o encontrar los diferentes coleccionables, o enemigos "élites" que tienen "barra de vida" y por supuesto el semi mundo abierto.

    Jugablemente es más de lo mismo que las otras entregas y no me quejo, si que en el online noté que la motosierra de la Lancer estaba bastante OP, llegué a ver alguna partida de gente que solo usaba la motosierra en el online y rompe bastante el juego.

    También hay una clara mejora en el sonido en especial el ambiental.

    Si te gusta la saga te gustará a pesar de todas las cosas innovadoras, que ya veremos si se quedan o no en el próximo título de la campaña, te deja con ganas de más y eso ya habla muy bien de este juego.

    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.

    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.

Great strides have been made by The Coalition to make this a better game than it was at launch. The character roster is greatly expanded and far closer to the depth of previous installments than its barren state at launch. Salvage has been converted to coins, and the latter is far easier to earn thanks to changes made to the Tour of Duty system. Previously retired store items can now be bought with coins, so FOMO is less of a concern now. Characters are now unlocked immediately when a skin is acquired and the Totem system is gone (thankfully). And perhaps most notably, Horde/Escape classes have been decoupled from characters. I gave this game a 5/10 at launch and I couldn't be happier to bump that up to a 9 now. It's incredibly refreshing to see a AAA developer listen to the community and steer a game in such a positive, consumer-friendly direction. If you've been gone from Gears for a while now, now is a great time to hop back on and check out the changes. Expand

    The Game is awesome, runs smooth, but has GPU crashes, error GW502 all the time, the new NVIDIA driver made it worse, for me now its not playable...what a waste.
    While you were reading this review, the GPU crashed again...
    What a waste, the game is awesome, but its broken right now on PC.

    I have a mid-range PC with a GTX1050ti and it runs so poorly, I am sure the cutscenes are good but I barley saw a slideshow. 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.

    Campanha bem legal, com ótimo combate. A Kate é uma excelente personagem, pena que está rodeada de outros não tão interessantes. As fases são bem legais, compensa a parte mundo aberto, que já é bem desinteressante.

    Easily the worst game in the franchise. The open wolrd elements just drag out what's already a pretty dull and uninspired effort that more than outstays it's welcome. New mechanics don't really add much to the game and most boss fights are more tedious than ever.

    I really enjoyed it. Despite my RTX 2080 never reached the 20% mark, while my CPU was above 90%. Hope Gears 5 will use them both to the limit and deliver even more details.

I found the story exciting and interesting, especially the choice at the end of the game, when you play as Kait and choose who you want to save! For the first time in the series added some open world, which can not but rejoice. The graphics are just perfect! Online made very cool, you can probably play it for months. But, of course, there are also disadvantages. The game does not progress in any way. Constant rifts, shelters, from part to part... I want something new. Expand

    In fact when the game really started ramping up with actual stakes and a step up in gameplay along with a fun boss battle - the game came to surprising conclusion. Just as it was getting different and really good, it ended. A shame, but its still worth playing.

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

    - Empty open world which feels like mostly filler. Doesn't feel like it belongs

    - Meh story. Not great but not bad

    Overall game:

    + A lot of video settings
    + Good choice of accessibility settings
    + Cross play with XB1
    + Regular good updates
    + Hundreds of hours of potential content
    + Lots of achievements
    // Uses Xbox Live
    // Microtransactions exist
    // Has a system similar to a battlepass
    - Clunky movement and controls. Even after getting used to them and playing for 150+ hours, feels clunky
    - Not the prettiest game
    - Some characters in PvE are just plain bad (namely the Terminator pack ones)
    - Game has so many anger inducing wtf moments where you will get instantly killed or something doesn't work properly

    I mainly bought the game for Horde and Escape which I really enjoy, and have put a lot more hours in than I was expecting.
    The developers regularly update the game, adding new maps, characters and balance changes (pretty much all buffs)
    Also recently added a new currency you can earn in-game quite easily that you can use in the store for cosmetics.

    I would recommend buying this game on sale if you wanted to mostly play Horde or escape with a little of versus or campaign on the side. Bonus points to buy it if you wanted to play the campaign in co-op!

    Pretty visuals, solid gunplay, tight pacing and likeable characters. Main issue, much like Gears 4 is the feeling that the stakes and villains are a notable downgrade from the originals. Gears 5 continues the sequel series' failure to capture the hopelessness and grandeur that made the original series so impactful. At least Kait is a better protag compared to JD.

    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.

    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.
