    A great game marred by plenty of bugs. It's Gears, it's fluid, it's smooth, it's beautiful. I really want to enjoy this game.

Two required a restart to the last checkpoint, one required a restart of an entire chapter as the reloading of a checkpoint (current and previous) resulted in a death loop.

    I don't think I've ever played an AAA with this many bugs. Glad it only cost me £2.

    My advice: wait a few months for them to iron out the bugs    … Expand

    this game is bad, try to pass an experience that did not match much with it, the story is not at all captivating, the only thing you stick to the game are the characters

    Same rehashed game as the first one. Boring story. Uninteresting characters. Repetitive below mediocre gameplay. No wonder it was free.

    This game was designed by **** monkeys who have mistakingly abandoned the core aspects of what makes Gears of War unique and fun. This game not does not function properly with **** servers, but is horribly missing content, and has sadly gone down the ****, corporate path of Microtransaction hell and premium fortnite currency trash.

    It is as though Microsoft can not come up with any original concepts any more . Gears of war 1 excellent , gears 2 amazing , gears 3 geat , gears 4 mediocre, while this game is straight trash right next to tactics .. the main character is not relatable , and the story is just a sad excuse of a game plot

    me sigo quedando con los 3 primeros. De todas formas este Gears 5 si le quitan el mundo abierto y se centrasen en la acción podría haberse quedado en un juego a la altura de los primeros ya que en esta entrega estan volviendo a tomar el camino de los Locust y prescindir mas de los robots, algo que se agradece.

    Same old gears formula with slightly better graphics, there's no innovation in the game and it is being milked to death due to lack of another new ips by microsoft
    The controls are decent,but the online multiplayer is laggy and unreliable, alot of glitches and overall not worth the 60 dollar price tag

    This is disappointing. For all thos loving the open world aspect, well that simply is not Gears of War. Microtransactions, cards? With people of you gave this game anything above a five cancel your Gold account. Add in the sound problems the progression that sucks your life away, you got something, just not a Gears Of War game.

    Lo único que vale la pena es la campaña al agregar el cuchillo le quitaron la escencia a la saga y lo hicieron en algunos aspectos como Calle of Duty, el multijugador es una mierda los Wallbounce ya no son efectivos y hay autoapuntado que lo facilita mucho las armas yatienen más alcance lo que lo hace aun mas fácil

The critic's and the players who rate this game 10/10 clearly didn't played the real ones. The Wall Bounce which is a bug, now sold as a feature(well that's one thing they learned from Bethesda) They should remaster Gears two(just graphics) and compare wich one gets a bigger multiplayer base.

    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.

What makes a good game good is the story and its feeling in the style it represents, however in this game it is more shown that the game is great for its graphics and people don't seem to see the story doesn't really represent what it was made to be as, to show how the art of war is like (though yes this is typically war in gears 4 and 5 keep reading forward to see what I mean). They made the enemy come back with no explanations of how they came back and simply did what the original games NEVER did, shared secrets and made the story about just 1 person, also what are the odds that the grand daughter of the locust queen is with the son of the person that ended the war. It makes me sad to see the gears franchise to be changed when the ending it originally had was perfect. I've played the gears series ever since I was a child and never had criticized the games, so I'm hoping that this franchise will have a turn around and is ended where it should be ended this time.… Expand

    So I really liked the game for awhile, but once they took away the ability to play with a squad of 5 the game was ruined. I don’t understand why a game would be against friends playing together. This game is the reason I’m getting a PS5 and not a new Xbox.

    "Weird" game, being the first game in the Gears franchise, I can say that I hated it, maybe because of personal opinions, I didn't like the gameplay of the game, unfortunately I couldn't finish it, because I found it extremely repetitive and boring, you walk more than you play, Multiplayer today, in 2022, is dead, there are hardly any matches, anyway, it deserves a red note (at least for me).

    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.
