    Boring game! It's like gears 4.1
    Multiplayer and campaign are all broken and the 6 year bans are just absurd. Don't get me started on the microtransactions....greedy Microsoft back at it again. Dont buy this game!

    A trip to Filler Town with Marcus & Friends

    I'm going to be 100% honest rn, I don't know why this boring extended story exist beyond the need to continue the main story, which could have been done by expanding the gears lore by showcasing more "Cog Soldier Stories" as playable missions to show off the sheer level of "Tilted" "Fubared-ness" that was going on in the rebel & then locus

And Microsoft wonders why this series has been a laughing stock since gears 3 ended back in 2011 with judgement being the only exception so far because its multiplayer was fun.

    "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.

    The game looks good, but nothing groundbreaking or up to the standards some have been advertising. Truth be told I find the material authoring and asset definition around the environment quite average, if not below expectation. Gameplay is pretty much the same as it has always been. There is really not much to say here unfortunately. Get it on game pass, play it and move on.

    Gears 5 is similar gameplay wise to Gears 4 but with boring free roam and back-tracking missions in a desert on a wind sail sand boat and the story a massive SJW politics injection. The original first three Gears of War games were good, not this s***.

    One of the biggest disappointments I've ever played.
    As a long time fan of the gears franchise I've religiously followed this game throughout the years. When I heard that gears of War was coming back, I was skeptical at first. But then gears 4 footage came out and it looked decent. I played it and I did not love it, it felt incomplete. Too much focus on the multi-player mode, depressing

But then gears 4 footage came out and it looked decent. I played it and I did not love it, it felt incomplete. Too much focus on the multi-player mode, depressing coming from a game with rich lore and history. When this game came out it was almost the same thing. I expected the story and the gameplay to improve, since the gears of war 4 ends with a lingering question. They still had their focus on the multi-player, I'm lead to believe that the story mode was second to them. It lacked the detail and grittines that it's Xbox 360 predecessors had.
    They had 13 years to improve and make new stuff happen and yet. We get the one of the worst games that has come out of the gears franchise.

    It also made me very motion sick. I do not recommend this at all.

    The Gears of War franchise, which has been quite as of late anyway, may finally be dead. This game is an absolute chore to play.

This game is an absolute chore to play. From a ridiculous, unresolved story all the way down to ruinous basic gun play, Gears 5 is a total disaster. I found myself compelled to finish it only because I was playing co-op with a more devoted fan; thank God it was on GamePass and I didn't have to pay for it.

    All of the weapons have insane recoil, making gun play a chore of timid burst-fire and readjustment. The new additions and even editions to old classics are for the worse. In nearly every mission involving a major gunfight my partner and I both ran out of ammo, forcing us to take reckless action to melee or otherwise kill enemies just to clear the room. The rambling plot has you criss-cross and backtrack through the same bland, empty open world. There is no leveling up and no incentive to explore and do side activities.

    The most tragic issue, however, is the incompetence of the NPCs that are forced to fight alongside you. The sole moment of excitement came when we finally got to use the beloved Hammer of Dawn; we had to restart that gunfight at least half a dozen times because an NPC would walk through your laser and cause the beam to hit and kill you instantly. On the final boss, we had to retry 5 times when uncontrolled NPC would get themselves killed. In one instance, within 3 seconds of reloading after a death, an NPC got himself killed again. A great number of unwarranted restarts will find you in this game, which erroneously focuses on squad dynamics when you cannot control the squad.

    Another nagging irritation is the lack of navigational assistance leaving you to wonder what the hell you're looking for at several points. "Jack" performs a ridiculous McGuffin where he can fly through vents to activate a terminal to open a door or something; oftentimes you'll see the switch he needs but he'll refuse to fly through any but the designated opening to reach it, regardless of how obviously other paths might work. In some cases this opening is rooms or meters away and punitively nonobvious, forcing you to mash the button giving you an environmental scan until you miraculously see the highlighted vent you need to use.

    This game is a 100% pass. The plot remains unresolved and whimpers to an end with a shameful sequel bait. Fitting that the voice actor for JD is also the worse of the two Spartacus in this pitiable attempt.

    Awful game going away from the tropes that made the game enjoyable. Unimaginative enemies, poor gameplay and trying to be something its not. The success of the original trilogy was based on smooth gameplay and a fantastic story. Why put RPG tropes into a shooter? Identity crisis, and poor story.its saving grace is it's voice acting. Such a shame for a series I loved

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kait and Del were the weakest part of Gears 4, now they take center stage. It's like following the adventures of two annoying millennials as they run around being "brave" and "stunning". Its all very woke 2019 social justice crap. JD has the misfortune of being male AND white and is thus disgraced by The Coalition so that the perfect, infallible Kait can take over as the generic "strong woman".

    JD just disappears at one point and we are told, not shown, that JD is now an a**hole for no real reason (completely disregarding the bond they formed in 4, but I digress...) and Kait and Del set out alone (no white males like Marcus allowed, apparently) and everyone stands around saying"good luck!" ... even though in the last game they literally dropped everything to help Kait find her mother.

    Kait and Del (sounds like a bad sitcom) venture into semi-open, very empty worlds/biomes and complete some fetch quests. There's a great callback to New Hope from Gears 2 with some truly top tier art direction. Marcus isn't there of course but he's nice enough to be on a radio at their beck and call. There's some great lore/story beats and action segments, boss fights, etc.

    They eventualy accomplish the mission and go to the next large, empty biome where Paduk, who doesn't like anyone, instantly trusts and respects Kait because 2019 wahman. He also makes a point to treat James Fenix (the son of the man he actually knows) like crap. Again, 2019 wahman. That's right, JD just shows up, is super nice, submissive and helpful as Kait and Del treat him like dog sh*t. Completely disregarding the events of 4. Again.

    They do some stuff and JD tells Kait that she's really good at everything (no joke, he really does this). Then it finally goes back to being a Gears game with tight, combat focused gameplay and great set pieces. Then Gears asks you if you want to save JD or Del. My personal opinion on this is that this was done so that Rod Fergusson could p*** in the faces of those who chose to save JD when he forces the cannon choice in Gears 6. Getting some woke points on twitter and angering fans.

    Pros:
    + Outstanding graphical fidelity, 4k/60fps on XIX with beautiful HDR
    + Lighting, textures and art direction is superb
    + Combat and weapons are fantastic, small additions/changes are well done
    + Environmental destruction/usability during combat.
    + Sound design is very good
    + Sand and snow deformation technology adds to immersion
    + Some great bosses and mini bosses
    + Sense of scale is impressive
    + Expands/explains story and lore

    CONS:
    - Weakest leads in Gears history. Del is a plank of wood and Kait is just a stand in for "strong female protaganist in 2019". Both characters are given a sense of importance to the Gears verse that is unearned.
    - 2019 progressive propaganda at its most obvious (and shameless)
    - Friendly AI is the worst in the series. Epic levels of dumb from these bots.
    - Empty open worlds/biomes
    - Elevates Kait and Del by disgracing JD
    - Disgusting storefront loaded with high priced MTX's
    - Very grindy pvp/horde/escape modes
    - Large amounts of pandering to Mexico and alphabet people for some reason. Half of the banners are "pride" banners. ????
    - Lots (and lots) of walking segments
    - Buggy at launch
    - Game is almost unplayable at higher difficulties to to incompetent AI, wildly difficult enemies, bugs etc.
    - Not a typical Gears game. Aimed for God of War, wound up with Gears of Woke
    - Gears used to be a system seller. Not anymore
    - Worst story and campaign in the series, by far

    Get on GamePass or on sale. This feels like a spinoff title or DLC. This is not proper Gears of War.

    Okay Microsoft, you win. I'll buy the PS5 next gen over the Scarlett. No reason to destroy Gears like this.

    Fights are hellishly boring.
    Too many one-shots out of nowhere and too little enemy variety. There are a lot of enemies who are almost not dangerous, but require a long and tedious shooting at one point on their ass or somewhere else.
    Constant babysitting with ai companions, plus one-shots, plus checkpoints, plus boring shooting at large enemies at one point and you get at times the most incredibly hellishly boring repetitive gameplay.
    Open arenas are pointless timewasters.
    And oh god, hire good writers please.
     What is this miserable cliched “Luke I'm Your Father” plot? You destroy plot potentials for locusts! They could have had a centuries-old history, and now they have nothing.
    And, I laughed to the pain in my stomach over the choice that you suddenly give me. I see what you did here. You collect statistics and try to understand whether it is possible to bury old gears or fans are not yet ready to swallow your pathetic new gears. I'm not on your side on this

    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. 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. Gears 3 continues to be a gold standard Microsoft fails to reach. When a progression system pushes you hard to not enjoy the game or not make the best play in a match but instead try to achieve a certain tasks in each multiplayer session you have f*cked the multiplayer. When a progression system constantly demands you play as characters you don't like or want to 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, and even that content is time limited... absolutely shameful. 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 now 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. Microsoft Xbox is not PlayStation and they are certainly not a Nintendo. Microsoft and TC have taken yet again another stupid pointless approach to gaming that destroys player trust. For many this was Microsofts last chance. This game just won PlayStation 5 the gen console war.

    This is a review for the single player campaign, not multiplayer. I'm keeping this as spoiler free as possible.

    The game starts on a high note. It's classic gears gameplay in the tutorial, you play as JD, you hear Marcus being Marcus, Del does something cool with a motorcycle and you blow it up. Fantastic first act to say the least.

    Then you go into act 2 & the game forces you to play as Kait... and it all goes down hill from there.

    Kait ruins the entire game. She's a selfish POS who abandons everyone to go on a journey to find herself. She's literally just fighting for herself. Nothing is gained on this journey either, only lost. You lose one of 2 main characters at the end, and it feels really like it's just being set up. If you've never played the old gears games you'll probably choose to kill one character, if you've literally only played Gears 5 you're probably gonna choose to kill the other character since you rarely see him & built zero attachment to him the entire game.

    The open world is also bland & empty. Imagine playing in an open world in some weird vehicle that makes zero sense driving & stopping at an area that looks cool only to find one gun & a component piece for your robot. Now multiply this by 100. There is literally no reason to explore in this game. Nothing is gained, much like Kaits journey. It's all filler content meant to pad game time.

    The game shines when you are actually in a fight, shooting, dashing, chainsawing enemies but these moments are so spread out the game feels like half a game. It doesn't help much that you're forced to play as kait for nearly the entire campaign. She's a horrible character now, so focused on herself that she forgets about pretty much everyone around her & what they've done to help her. In gears 4, she had more personality, pazazz & was actually fairly likeable. Now she's just broody, emo, angry, hating the world & everything in it. She's just an SJW now, fighting for nothing & representing nothing but her own self interests.

    Gears of Wahmen, Gears of Woke, Gears of WTF ever you call it, it's a crappy campaign that makes you not want to play the game anymore.

    Bring back Marcus or his son JD as the main protagonist. Gears is supposed to be about Marcus & Gears 4 was supposedly passing on Marcus' legacy to his son, but whoever was put in charge of Gears 5 threw that out the window because they wanted diversity or whatever in their campaign. Diversity doesn't make the game's story better, good writing does. Whoever wrote this game's campaign obviously has something against Marcus & JD because this game changes their characters personality traits & the ending can basically ruin them both entirely depending on your choices.

    I was a huge GOW4 fan and spent an embarrassing amount of time playing Horde. I have Game Pass and got GOW5 for free, happy days, right? NOPE. if I could take back the electricity and bandwidth wasted on downloading this game, I would. It has ruined Gears for me. Nobody is playing GOW4 anymore and GOW5 is TERRIBLE

    How these shill critics give it 90 or 100 I will never know, and an average player rating of 8.7? These are blatant lies. The scores are being manipulated and here is your proof. I know lots of people through GOW4 and we were all generally excited about GOW5, playing it as soon as it was released. We are mostly Horde players so were interested in that but that's completely ruined. I don't even know what this extra nonsense they added is for and why it's only one character per skill set. Have they never heard of personalization or customization? What if a lady player wants that skill set with a female character or vice-versa?

    I don't like the Horde mode, which is what I was looking forward to most. Fine, so Horde is bad, how about the campaign? Reading the reviews from "professional critics" you would think this was some sort of novel experience or polished within an inch of its life. NOT EVEN CLOSE. This game sucks. I described it to my GOW4 mate as, "borderline homosexual". The dialogue is so tedious and childish. How any developer is allowed to make an 18 + game and write it for 12 year olds is beyond me. This title is aimed squarely at SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN and holds no interest for me as an adult

    I've never written a review for a video game before but I was so disappointed by GOW5 and indeed by the blatant shilling going on here, there and everywhere, that I felt the need to express myself

    If anyone paid the full special edition pre-order price on this game and maybe added a season pass or whatever other money grabs, wow, biggest rip off in video game history. I mean that. This game isn't worth $5 never mind $80 and is a downgrade from GOW4

    End result? All of the fanatic GOW4 players who I'm friendly with no longer play any Gears title. A bunch of people I know uninstalled the game to save disc space - that's how bad this game is. GOW4 was 100% the reason why I bought an XB1 and GOW5 was going to be my reason for investing in the XB1X. It is safe to say I won't be buying that console to play this trash game

    ** For those saying this game looks amazing, I have a bunch of free eye tests vouchers from Specsavers. It's an impressive achievement for the developers to take this AAAA ++++ title and turn it into something I can't stand looking at. I've been playing MGSV lately, which is like 4 years old and it can beat GOW5 with one hand tied behind its back. GOW4 is better in every respect including graphically as I hate the new cartoony look of GOW5

    Magnifique le nouveau Gears of War ! éblouissant et proposé d'office à 60 im/s et en 4K sur la X (ou aux trois quarts de la 4K même dans des conditions extrêmes selon Digital Foundry, l'autorité en la matière) autant dire qu'on en prend plein les mirettes !

    Pas vraiment un monde ouvert (loin de là même), le Gears 5 sort néanmoins de son couloir habituel pour offrir quelques balades dans deux grands espaces et par la même occasion des missions secondaires très optionnelles mais assez bienvenues... on fait du ski, on surfe sur le sable, on éradique la vermine... on sauve le monde (encore une fois) : tout ça, ça reste du classique.

    L'histoire (?) tente de raconter quelque chose cette fois-ci mais se prend vite ses grosses bottes dans le tapis... car d'une part, c'est invraisemblable et d'autre part, c'est assez ridicule... Gears 5 tente également de mieux caractériser ses personnages mais le fait si maladroitement qu'on se croirait dans un feuilleton de la télé brésilienne. Quelle idée, franchement... dites-moi juste où passer les grands coups de karcher, où et quand nettoyer et j'y vais ! je m'en fous des états d'âme de l'équipe ou de leur 'parcours'...

    Qu'importe, si la jouabilité reste lourdaude, elle n'en est pas moins toujours très spectaculaire avec -c'est nouveau- les capacités du robot ménager à tout faire, Jack, qu'on peut améliorer au fur et à mesure. Et les nombreux réglages concernant la manette permettent d'ajuster au mieux la maniabilité générale.

    Mais bon, j'en suis aux deux tiers de la campagne et là, je suis bloqué... parce qu'un script ne s'est pas déclenché. J'ai dû "manuellement" si j'ose dire aller au lieu suivant en me fiant au dialogue, car aucun point de repère n'est apparu ; sur place, les choses semblent reprendre leurs cours normal -après avoir réchargé, car le jeu était coincé devant la porte- mais impossible de faire entrer le robot dans le bureau ou de pirater l'interface à pirater : l'action contextuelle n'apparaît pas...

    Donc, quand ça sera débuggué, le Gears nouveau devrait être agréable... mais pour l'instant, il faut attendre les patchs. Heureusement qu'il ne m'a coûté que quelques euros (à peine 3 par mois pendant 3 mois) via une promo du Game Pass parce que sinon, je lui aurais collé 1. Un bug pareil (plus un autre lors d'une mission secondaire) ce n'est pas acceptable.

    Epilogue : là, rebelote, je me retape le chapitre 3 en espérant ne pas rencontrer de nouveau le bug bloquant... j'aimerais quand même si c'était possible finir cette campagne... et paf ! ça re-merde mais à un autre endroit, juste après le retour à l'aéroport : l'avion ne décolle pas, le script est enrayé et me re-voilà sans objectif principal !

    ça commence à me gaver : malgré déjà quelques patchs, ils sont plus occupés à régler les microtransactions qu'à débugguer leur jeu... sorti trop tôt et tout cassé en fait. Je descends donc à 3 et je mets mon mouchoir dessus. Dans un an ou deux, le Gears 5 sera peut-être réparé...

    A decent game with serious networking problems. Co-op is virtually unplayable with no end in sight, devs have been working on it for two days now with no improvement, cannot play as a team for more than 5-10 minutes without someone being disconnected. Unacceptable.

Like Gears 4 Act 1 was a solid 6/10 for me but than the game gets really boring with open areas with nothing in it. Its like the devs looked ad god of war and thought hm we also need wide open areas problem is there is nothing in them except some boring copy/past sidequest. There is also a character Switch to an femnale lead in act 2 and it just feels meh i love female characters like in horizon or tlou but the problem is Kait is just an awful written character with laughable dialogs i dont care for her at all. there was one good mission in act 2 where you meet that ai thats it. Act 3 was in a desert and it was **** story is awful i was close to end my playthrough here because the game was so bad. Bad Leveldesign... lazy leveldesign it just wasnt fun and that my first gears i didnt want to finish.. but i said to myself ok the last act will be good how can you **** up the last chapter right ? God wrong it was **** there was no climax there was only one awful final boss battle against some gian generic worm nobody cares about. All other things are just copy/past from other gears oh look her mother is alive and is the new queen wow great storytelling... overall one of the worse games i played this year. the gaming press must be on drugs giving this ****show over 4/10.

    Dont even care about gears 6 now. this as a long time gears fan that still liked gears 4.

    The is also buggy and is clearly unfinished i entcountered a save bug where the game just stop working and i found many glitches. Sony or Nintendo would never release a first party game in this state. its a disaster.

    TC can only try to take advantage of fans for so long before they bail. Gears 5 was rushed to release and full of bugs and cash grab tactics. Not only are the devs delusional about the game being broken, they pump out base content like curb stomps and expect to charge real $$ for them. TC has destroyed Gears, only hope is Gow2 UE.

    The red cog taking up the entire screen and blocking vision when damaged is a terrible mechanic. And in conjunction with the low health and weird weapon tuning, the thing/essence that made gears of war gears of war has been lost. The whole point about gears of war is that you can react to people shooting at you first and the interactions between players isn't cheap chaotic madness. But this has been lost completely. That which makes gears of war so different to your standard shooter has been lost completely.

    The game is a hollow experience overall and, for a reason I can't quite explicitly articulate, the kills and the in this game lack the feeling of satisfaction that the previous gears games had. Anyone with a half decent palate for gears of war as a franchise will be able to tell what I mean.

    Overall, I am very disappointed. And I think many other hardcore fans of the franchise will feel the same way.

    Negatives:
    - absence of indications on what to do and no map (at least to date)
    - the "health omen" (omen of health aka indicative of damage) .. how to say, it's ugly
    - the enemies are relatively bullet sponges, you shoot but you don't really know in how many minutes they will die like (possibility to activate the health bars in the options at least), we spend half the game reloading our gun
    - we too are bullet sponges so it leaves the impression that our decisions in combat don't matter because there is no great risk, especially since our comrades can revive us, we don't really know how much health we have anyway (see health omen)
    - no "auto pick up ammo", funny animation, slowed progress for nothing, often lacks ammunition (at least to date)
    - we can reload even if already full .. it makes no sense and it's annoying
    - strange place at the top right for the amount of remaining ammo, finally we get used to it
    - limited interactions with the environment, you can't jump, fall, climb or move objects except via a few specific objects
    - too linear / rigid and I had several bugs despite its simplicity, 3 years after the game was released
    - not a fan of roadie run animation but you get used to it
    - no way to get details about our weapons (such as speed, range, accuracy)
    - cannot save manually
    - revive a friend by grabbing his arm to lift him up .. OK super realistic
    - we wear mega armor but no helmet?! (although the character makes a comment that he doesn't like it for his "field of view"...)
    - collectibles to find .. really offers no interest
    - the "components" found all over the place in places that make no sense, like on the floor in a poison shop like
    - it's as if Uncharted and Doom had a child and took on each gender's flaws

    Se nota el trabajo por hacer un video juego a la altura, lamentablemente mantienen el mismo control que los anteriores y no se siento fresco,

    Los desarrolladores deberían pensar en hacer videojuegos y no películas de acción

    Gears 5 is an odd thing; it's neither a grand leap forwards, nor a complete rehash of what came before, and therefore sits somewhere in the middle of the two. On the whole, the improvements do outweigh the negatives (the non-linear approach to campaign levels and the small changes to horde mode being some of the most notable), and while The Coalition still has some work to do to really make the series its own, this is a far bolder and more varied approach the relatively safe Gears 4. If you love shooters and you want a good place to jump back into the series, this is perfect place to work the rust out of your lancer.

    Gears 5 offers a solid portion of brutal action with several refreshing new things. If you have intentionally avoided games from this series, the fifth sequel probably won´t change your mind, but if you are looking for a quality action game and you are still a fan of multiplayer, try it.

    Gears 5 proposes a breathtaking solo campaign and a generous array of multiplayer modes. Even if the recipe remains classic, we really want to go through with it. The characters are rather well written, the environments are often spectacular, and Jack the robot adds some salt to the gameplay. A visual feast and glorious action game that perfectly demonstrate Xbox One X's true power.
